    LEGISLATIVE REGULATION FACILITATION TO KICK OFF IN ARMENIA

    YEREVAN, March 13. /ARKA/. The National Center for Legislative
    Regulation and Association of Accountants and Auditors of Armenia
    signed Wednesday a memorandum on mutual understanding.

    Thus, the sides express their readiness to cooperate in reducing the
    legislative regulations in accounting and audit as well as taxing
    and other spheres agreed upon.

    "Our center is like a "legislative guillotine," a program which targets
    facilitating the laws, reducing number of regulatory procedures ,"
    Armen Yeghiazaryan, Director of the National Center for Legislative
    Regulation, said Wednesday as he signed Memorandum.

    He highlighted the experts of the center had already started
    researching the taxing sphere. According to him it will take a while
    as at the same time they are designing new methodologies to meet the
    international standards.

    Yeghiazaryan noted the number of legislative procedures will be cut
    in the taxing sector as it is one of the most problematic ones. He
    expressed his hope that the Association of Accountants and Auditors
    will support the Center in this process.

    Aharon Chilingaryan, President of Council of Association of Accountants
    and Auditors, on his side, noted accountants often have to assess and
    proceed deals, calculate taxing payments, compile financial reports
    which are later audited, that's why these specialists are perfectly
    familiar with these issues and aware of the troubles.

    "That's why we decided to support the government in finding a solution
    to this pubic task. It will pretty enhance the efficiency of the work,"
    he explained.

    The sides are obliged by the agreement to organize discussions,
    seminars and other events to propose reforms in the sphere.

    The mission of Association of Accountants and Auditors is to
    build trust among clients and investors to financial statistics
    of the organizations operating in the republic. Association
    supports accountants and auditors in their efforts to raise their
    professionalism.

    The National Center for Legislative Regulation was established
    on September 17, 2011. Its mission is to remove all the points in
    legislature which hinder business environment development in 17 spheres
    ( entrepreneurship, finances, taxes, customs, healthcare, transport,
    communications, education, etc.).

    The financial burden on business and citizens will be reduced twice
    and , the legal acts that contain regulatory procedures will be cut
    by minimum 30%, and 20-30% will be significantly facilitated.

    The investors of the program are Armenia's government and donor
    organizations. The investments amounted to nearly $2 million.

    In November 2011 Armenia's government and international donor
    organizations signed a letter on intentions to enhance the efficiency
    of economic regulation of the republic via "regulatory guillotine"
    tool.

    Thus, the donor organizations express their readiness to support
    Armenia in its efforts to introduce the tool of quick reforms
    -"regulatory guillotine"-ensuring improvements in business environment
    while updating the regulatory policy. -0-
