The introduction of market economy mechanisms in the form of cooperatives and joint ventures with the participation of foreign capital in the late 80s of the XX century in the Soviet Union led to the necessity to establish in 1987 the Soviet audit organization - the joint-stock company "Inaudit", a structural unit of which was established in Ukraine under the Ministry of Finance of the Ukrainian SSR.

The collapse of the USSR, the proliferation of newly created market economy enterprises and the system of financial control over their activities by the state alone caused dissatisfaction among business entities. This was the basis for a positive perception of an independent financial control system in the form of an audit.

Since the 90s, the first audit firms began to be established in Ukraine, which initiated the creation of the Ukrainian Professional Public Organization “The Auditors’ Union of Ukraine (UPPO “AUU”). To this end, work was carried out to establish firms involved in the provision of accounting and taxation services. In total, there were about 50 of them in Ukraine. It was the representatives of these firms who held the constituent congress of the UPPO “AUU” on 14.02.1992.

THE PRESENT OF THE UPPO “AUU”

Today, the Ukrainian Professional Public Organization “The Auditors’ Union of Ukraine (UPPO “AUU”) is the largest organization of auditors in Ukraine, which has more than thirty years of experience in the development of democratic principles, has sufficient resources, in particular, talented and dedicated professionals, to be a professional and influential organization in the country.

Today, the UPPO “AUU” has more than 1200 members and has its territorial branches in all regional centers of Ukraine, and 24 branches in total.
