From January 1, 2020, amendments were made to the Budget Code of the Russian Federation on the conduct of an internal financial audit, as well as the powers of control and accounting bodies to prepare proposals for improving internal financial audit were clarified. At the municipal level, not all chief administrators of budgetary funds have properly organized the system of internal financial audit according to the new rules. In particular, this is due to the fact that all federal standards of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation have not yet been adopted, on the basis of which an internal financial audit should be conducted. In this situation, the control and accounting body of the municipality can become the link of interdepartmental interaction, which, by virtue of the powers assigned to it, proposes measures to improve the organization of the internal financial audit system. A number of proposals have been made for organizing such work by the control and accounting bodies.
