A. BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT AND THE ASSIGNMENT

Mongolia has been implementing the Strengthening Fiscal and Financial Stability (SFFS) Project with a credit financing from the International Development Association (IDA). The objective of the SFFS Project has been to contribute to the Government of Mongolia’s efforts to strengthen fiscal and financial stability and improve the quality of expenditure. The project has been designed into five components: (i) Strengthening Macroeconomic and Fiscal Management; (ii) Improving the Efficiency of Public Financial Management; (iii) Enhancing Financial Sector Stability; (iv) Strengthening the Social Protection System; (v) Project Management and Monitoring. The objectives are to strengthen fiscal responsibility and implement relevant policy measures, improve fiscal discipline, strengthen the resiliency of the banking system, improve public expenditure quality in social protection, provide support for Project implementation, coordination, monitoring, and evaluation, including, inter alia, audit arrangements, reporting requirements, procurement, and financial management activities respectively. For more details, please refer to the Project Appraisal Document Report No. PAD2269 . 

Subcomponent B2 of the SFFS project aims to increase budget comprehensiveness and transparency through better control, reporting and expansion of the government’s integrated financial management information capabilities. Under the subcomponent, the Accounting Policy Department (APD) and the Treasury Department of the Ministry of Finance (MOF) have been undertaking an agenda towards improving public sector accounting and reporting.

Good accounting and financial reporting practices, which meet international standards, can serve as the basis for good governance and the provision of high-quality financial information to users of financial statements (government, citizens, development partners, international investors, etc.). Mongolia has been working for the last 20 years with the support from international donor organizations to achieve compliance with the international accounting and auditing standards since the requirements were legalized in 1993. The most recent amendments to the Law on Accounting in 2015, as well as the approval of the Law on Integrated Budget in 2011, reinforced the requirement to comply with the international standards.

Even though efforts to improve accounting and reporting for public sector entities have been successful in certain areas, the following issues still remain: (i) the government’s accounting basis is not yet full accrual, (ii) IPSASs are not fully implemented, and (iii) the quality and importance of the Government’s consolidated financial statements are undermined because SOEs with less than 51% ownership, but are material to the financial statements, are not consolidated into the Government’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the IPSASs.

One of the challenges that must be resolved for transitioning to full accrual based accounting and financial reporting in accordance with the IPSAS and IFRS is the development of the legal environment which enable assets to be measured and reported at fair and reasonable value in accordance with requirement of the IPSAS and IFRS. After the Law on Valuation was first approved in 2010, the new revision of the Law on Valuation was approved by the Parliament of Mongolia in 2022 which was an important event in accelerating the development of the sector. In connection with the latest approval of the amendment of the Law on Valuation, as a next step towards addressing legal environment-related challenges, APD plans to develop and update relevant regulations and methodologies on the valuation, its organization, and quality control matters for the further development of the valuation service and ensuring the implementation of the law.   

Particularly, the MOF recognizes the need to i) develop a draft regulation on creating and using valuation database and ensuring information security as there has not been any regulations with this regard in Mongolia; ii) develop a methodology to calculate coefficients of the factors to be used for valuation; and iii) build a capacity of the Professional Valuation Institute of Mongolia in creating valuation database for valuation service.
