Grant Thornton Amyot to conduct audit of Kyrgyz National Bank

PanARMENIAN.Net - Grant Thornton Amyot LLC, the Armenian member of Grant Thornton International, will carry out the audit of financial statements of the year 2009 of the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic, the company's press office said.



On June 11, 2009 the Parliament of the Kyrgyz Republic has approved Grant Thornton Amyot LLC in the capacity of the auditor of the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic for the fiscal year 2009.



Armen Hovhannisyan, Partner and Director of Financial Institutions Audit Department at Grant Thornton Amyot, noted, "We are very happy to be announced as the winner of this tender and to have the opportunity to provide high quality service to the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic. In November 2008 the Parliament of Kyrgyzstan made amendments in the law lifting the requirement of license for conducting audit activity on the territory of Kyrgyzstan. Due to this amendment our firm became eligible for this assignment. As Grant Thornton Amyot also has experience with the audit of the Central Bank of Armenia, we fully satisfied all requirements of the tender. As part of our development strategy, we also invest efforts into geographic expansion of our activity. Being the leading audit and advisory firm in Armenia, Grant Thornton Amyot in recent years has extended the geography of its operations to other markets."



For over a decade Grant Thornton Amyot has been providing audit and professional advisory services to a vast number of organizations, including financial institutions in Armenia, Georgia, Tajikistan and other countries, among which are 25 banks and over a dozen credit organizations, funds, insurance and brokerage companies.
