KOMORA AUDITORŮ ČESKÉ REPUBLIKY

What KOMORA AUDITORŮ ČESKÉ REPUBLIKY does

Komora auditorů České republiky (KA ČR), founded in 1993, is a self-governing professional organization established by law to regulate and administer the statutory auditing profession in the Czech Republic. Its activities are governed by the Audit Act No. 93/2009 Coll. (effective 14 April 2009), which makes KA ČR the sole statutory body authorized to license auditors, maintain the official public registry of auditors and audit assistants, conduct auditor examinations, and enforce professional and ethical standards. Mandatory statutory audits of financial statements may only be performed by auditors whose authorization is registered in the Chamber's registry.

KA ČR operates a portfolio of professional services rather than proprietary technology products. Its core offerings include: the Časopis Auditor professional magazine (published 10 times per year), an online newsletter (auditor.kacr.cz), a Časopis Auditing journal, methodological publications and special attachments to the magazine, and a continuous professional education program delivered through in-person seminars, online courses, and self-paced e-learning delivered on the third-party iTrivio platform. It also organizes the annual Auditorská konference, specialized ESG/CSRD reporting conferences, and operates an e-shop for training and publications. The Chamber is a member of IFAC and Accountancy Europe, and cooperates with the Public Oversight of Audit Board and the National Accounting Council.

The Chamber is not a commercial enterprise; it is funded by membership fees, training and examination fees, and publication revenue (e.g., courses priced at 750–1,350 CZK for members and 1,350–2,450 CZK for the general public, including 21% VAT). It serves licensed statutory auditors as its primary constituency, with audit assistants, auditor examination candidates, accounting professionals, and tax advisors as adjacent segments. Governance is exercised through elected bodies including the Sněm (Assembly), Výkonný výbor (Executive Committee), Dozorčí komise (Supervisory Commission), and Kárná komise (Disciplinary Commission).
