Work accomplished

Work is being carried out on providing consulting support and administering the SPIS, which includes 18 modules. The SPIS system has registered 11,108 users and 3,625 government institutions.
As part of the Replication plan, training is conducted on a quarterly basis for employees of government agencies to work in the SPIS.
As part of the development of the republican budget project for 2025-2027, 39 out of 40 ABP submitted their budget requests through the SPIS (BP) for consideration by the WB. In addition, the submission and review of budget requests for expenses related to informatization of all CGB were carried out by the Authorized body in the "Informatization expenses" module.
Work was completed on enhancing the "UBC" mode, which is designed to work with the Unified budget classification of the Republic of Kazakhstan and ensures centralized management of reference books:

• Economic classification of expenses
• Functional classification of expenses
• Classification of budget revenues.

Additionally, a journal of requests for changing the UBC has been developed, through which administrators of budget programs submit requests for amendments and additions to the UBC, send them to the authorized body for review and, if approved, incorporate them into the required version of the budget. To maintain these classifiers, coordination functionality is provided between the departments of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan responsible for maintaining and approving the UBC. After the budget version is approved, an order for amendments and additions to the UBC is generated in this mode.
On February 22, 2024, amendments were made to the Order of the Minister of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated December 5, 2014 No. 129, according to which the ABP formulates and submits investment proposals to the central or local authorized body for state planning via the SPIS.
As a result, 1,331 state investment projects have been formed in the system to date.
