For 2026, the Audit Chamber plans about 40 new inspections, including audits of support programs for domestic pharmaceutical producers, road development, and the operations of Kazakhtelecom, Kazpost, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Smailov also noted that a new digital system has been launched to automate all audit processes.
