Issued by the Bank of Tanzania, these regulations mandate all banks and financial institutions to annually appoint qualified external auditors free from conflicts of interest. The rules establish strict audit term limits, require competitive bidding for re-appointments after two three-year terms, and enforce mandatory engagement partner rotation. Approved auditors must deliver accurate capital computations, report serious breaches or fraud immediately, and comply with rigorous registration standards while being disqualified if they provide prohibited non-audit services.
