The transfer of case files and provision of information concerning cases showing signs of criminal offenses to investigative authorities for consideration and handling in accordance with the law must also be carried out. Strict compliance with requirements for public disclosure of audit reports will continue to be enforced, including posting issued audit reports at the headquarters of audited entities.
