Originality/value – based on the results of the study, the author's formulation of the audit of financial statements in the public sector was proposed, considering its specifics. Based on the study of the foreign experience in auditing the consolidated financial statements of the republican budget, it is revealed that the structure of compiling consolidated financial statements of the republican budget of the Republic of Kazakhstan is closest to the practice of the UK and proposals is given for methodological provision and rational organization of state audit.
Conclusions – total adoption of the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the republic budget practical procedures of any country to the Kazakhstan’s system is unacceptable, since there are differences in the organizational structure of the state audit bodies, the economic and political development direction.
