What is the purpose of an accounting policy?

An accounting policy allows for the proper organization of accounting records, as there can be multiple ways to record transactions, while standard transactions must be recorded uniformly. Thus, having a correctly formulated accounting policy addresses several tasks simultaneously:

  • Ensures a consistent approach to accounting within the company;
  • Provides confidence in the accuracy of submitted tax and accounting reports;
  • Minimizes the risk of disputes with auditors and regulatory bodies;
  • Simplifies the process of transitioning responsibilities in the accounting department when personnel change.

Consequences of the absence of an accounting policy

In accordance with Article 276 of the Republic of Kazakhstan Code of Administrative Offenses, the absence of accounting documentation at an organization and/or failure to comply with requirements for the preparation and storage of accounting documentation as stipulated by the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, result in a warning, and in case of repeated violations, a fine ranging from 25 to 75 times the Monthly Calculation Index (MCI) depending on the type of business entity.
