The Board of the Central Bank of the Republic of Kosovo amended external audit requirements for microfinance institutions by limiting continuous auditor engagement to five consecutive years and mandating a two-year cooling-off period before re-engagement. The regulation also requires approved external auditors to comply with statutory independence rules and permits currently engaged auditors to continue their assignments up to the five-year limit. These amendments integrate with the existing 2013 framework and entered into force on August 30, 2024.
