According to the Audit Law of Mongolia, audits must be conducted by a legal entity engaged in audit activities and the auditors working for it.

In the case of financial statement audits, auditors conduct an independent evaluation by reviewing, analyzing, and providing guidance to ensure that the relevant financial statements and other information accurately reflect the company's financial performance and position.
