The Ministry of Finance requires the application, a document evidencing continuing professional development in auditing, a criminal-record statement and medical certificates to be filed no later than 30 November of the second year of the confirmation period.

Belarus Auditor Qualification Examination Study Tips from Top Performers

1Work through the Law 'On Auditing Activity' by article number: Article 8 (audit organisation requirements), Article 15 (duties, including the 5-year document retention and the 1,000-base-value reporting threshold), Article 22 (mandatory audit), Article 27 (independence), Article 28 (confidentiality), Article 29 (quality assessment), Articles 30-31 (attestation and annulment). The 2019 new edition renumbered the Law, so older study notes cite the wrong articles.

2Memorise the Article 22 mandatory audit test: the revenue trigger is preceding-year sales revenue above 500,000 base values, measured at the base value on 31 December of that year — it is not expressed in euros.

3Learn the Stage 1 weighting and revise to it: 20% Auditing Activity, 20% Accounting, 15% ISA and Code of Ethics, 15% IFRS, 15% Taxes, 15% Legal Regulation. Analysis of Business Activity appears only in the Stage 2 oral ticket.

4For the oral stage, prepare three-question tickets combining Auditing Activity, the ISAs and Code of Ethics, and Analysis of Business Activity; you get 40 minutes to prepare and need at least two positive answers.

5Practise the Belarusian solvency coefficients in their own form: К1 = short-term assets / short-term liabilities, К2 = (equity + long-term liabilities - long-term assets) / short-term assets, К3 = total liabilities / total assets with a normative of not more than 0.85. Instruction No. 140/206 gives the formulas and Resolution No. 1672 the per-industry normative values — do not import the Russian 'solvency restoration coefficient'.

6Know the standard account numbers used throughout the accounting section: 01 fixed assets, 02 depreciation, 04 intangible assets, 08 investments in non-current assets, 10 materials, 20 main production, 28 defects, 43 finished goods, 60 suppliers, 62 buyers, 63 doubtful debt allowances, 68 taxes, 69 social insurance, 70 wages, 83 additional capital, 84 retained earnings, 90 sales, 91 other income and expenses, 97 deferred expenses, 99 profits and losses.

7Confirm your qualification on time: at least once every two years starting the year after the certificate is issued, with documents filed by 30 November of the second year, or the certificate can be annulled under Article 31.
