Description
Summary:	This report is an update of the 2006 Report on the Observance of Standards and Codes (ROSC) on Accounting and Auditing (A&A) in the Republic of Kosovo (Kosovo). The main objective of the 2006 ROSC was to assist the then-existing Kosovo Provisional Institutions of Self-Government in strengthening A&A practices, in order to support sustained economic growth and improve the competitiveness of local enterprises. For this update, a particular focus was placed on analyzing significant changes in (a) the statutory framework for A&A standards and practices; (b) the A&A profession; (c) the quality of accounting education at the tertiary level; (d) the enforcement of A&A requirements both within the profession and by financial sector regulators; and (e) financial reporting standards in the banking sector. The report also focuses on assessing the degree of alignment of Kosovo's institutional framework for corporate financial reporting with the European Union (EU) acquis communautaire. This ROSC A&A update will also provide inputs to the Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) update.
