It is noted that the relevant memorandum of cooperation was signed by the head of the State Audit Service, Alla Basalayeva, and the director general of the French governmental technical cooperation agency Expertise France, Jérémy Pellier.

"The document provides for the expansion of cooperation with French colleagues both in terms of combating fraud and other financial irregularities that may affect the EU's financial interests, and in strengthening the capacity of the State Audit Service to conduct state financial control, in particular during martial law, as well as during the restoration of war-torn regions," the statement said.
