Baker Tilly to Audit Ukraine’s Defense Procurement Agency After Stormy Year of Disputes
The Defense Procurement Agency’s Supervisory Board has selected Baker Tilly Ukraine to conduct an independent financial audit for 2025. The audit is intended to assess financial reporting, resource use, and financial discipline as the agency works to strengthen transparency and governance.
Following a tumultuous year marked by disputes, Ukraine’s Defense Procurement Agency has appointed Baker Tilly Ukraine to conduct an independent financial audit for 2025. The audit aims to provide an impartial evaluation of the agency’s financial reporting, compliance with financial regulations, and resource utilization efficiency.
Baker Tilly Ukraine, a member of the global Baker Tilly network, is set to deliver recommendations on enhancing the agency’s financial and management processes upon completion of the audit. The agency, a state entity overseen by Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, was established to streamline defense procurement and adhere to NATO standards.
Tensions between the agency and the defense ministry have been ongoing since at least September 2024, with Bezrukova accusing Umerov of failures in meeting delivery schedules, disregarding the General Staff’s concerns, and delaying delivery communications.
