Introduction. Currently, the procedure for providing audit services to public interest entities is being reformed. The main goal of these reforms is to provide more effective protection of legally protected values associated with the activities of such economic entities. The changes also apply to the content of audit reports on their financial statements. The process of revising the relevant regulatory document is still ongoing. Not all of the revised provisions are consistent with each other and the International Standards on Auditing. This will complicate their practical application by auditors and affect the informational value and public utility of audit reports. In addition, since 2017, when the modern format for audit reports was adopted, its application has revealed shortcomings in terms of its content and terminology. This explains the need to develop proposals to eliminate these “sticking points” when regulating the content of the auditor's report. Purpose. The development of recommendations to harmonise the provisions of laws and regulations governing the content of audit reports and federal state control (supervision) of the activities of audit organisations providing services to public interest entities with the International Auditing Standards in order to increase the information value of audit reports. Methods. The research results were obtained using analysis, synthesis, analogy, historical and logical approaches, classification, etc. Results. It was proposed to introduce changes to the text of the Federal Law “On Auditing Activities” of 30.12.2008 No. 307-FZ in order to eliminate contradictions in its provisions regarding the content of audit reports, to ensure their consistency with the International Standards on Auditing and laws and regulations in the field of controlling the activities of audit organisations that provide audit services to public interest entities. The content of the requirements of the International Standards on Auditing regarding the content of audit reports was clarified as well as their official translation into Russian to make the documents more informative and easy to use. Conclusions. The proposed clarifications can be taken into account when making changes to the texts of the Federal Law “On Auditing Activities”, the original version of the International Standards on Auditing and its official translation. They can also be further discussed by specialists.

Sharia Supervisory Board (DPS) is one of the most important part in the system of Islamic financial and banking institutions in Indonesia. The existence of DPS is recognized based on applicable laws and regulations. The existence of DPS in sharia financial institutions and sharia banking aims to oversee sharia principles that must be implemented in real terms in the contract system and transactions in Islamic financial and banking institutions. Empirically, the recognition of legislation on the existence of DPS has not been fully implemented by Islamic financial and banking institutions. In fact, recommendations regarding the findings of sharia principles violations in the contract system and transactions in sharia financial and banking institutions often receive a response from the board of directors. Therefore, the most important indicator that DPS must have is the professionalism of its human resources. Competence is a determinant factor in recruiting DPS. These competencies include aspects of mastery of fiqh muamalah theories, competency in reading financial statements, and competencies in the field of engagement law.
