Abstract
Aim. Assessment of methods for analysing the effectiveness of internal financial audit applied by public financial control bodies.
Methodology. The methodological provisions for assessing the level of internal financial audit efficiency applied by the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation and the Federal Treasury in 2021–2023 have been analyzed.
Results. The necessity of amending the provisions of the external public audit standard designed to provide methodological support for the implementation of the function of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation to verify and analyse the effectiveness of internal financial audit has been substantiated.
Research implications. Theoretical and/or practical significance lies in the identification of contradictions in the methodology of assessment of internal financial audit applied by the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation, which can be used both in the preparation of disagreements to the acts of audits, and to improve the normative legal acts of the latter.
