The regulation defines auditor categories, outlines application and annual review procedures, sets accreditation fees, and details the appointment obligations, core duties, and reporting standards of accredited auditors. It further specifies grounds for temporary suspension or permanent revocation of accreditation, imposes disciplinary sanctions, and clarifies the relationship between auditors, regulated institutions, and the supervisory authority.
