Bio

Partner, Audit Services Department | MBA

I joined Moore in 2006 after working at another international auditing firm in Kazakhstan. Prior to that, I gained experience in the banking sector, tax authorities, and a manufacturing group.

Currently, I am the lead partner at Moore’s Astana office, with extensive knowledge and experience in auditing international groups. I specialize in engagements with public group companies, where strict deadlines and attention to technical details are critical. Over more than 20 years in audit, my client portfolio has included companies from the energy and mining sectors, engineering, and finance.

I also actively participate in advancing the profession, holding the post of Chairman of the Board of the Collegium of Auditors — one of the largest professional audit associations in Kazakhstan.

I hold an MBA from the Bradford University School of Business (UK), a law degree from the Kazakh Humanitarian and Legal University, and an economics degree from Shakarim State University. Additionally, I studied applied mathematics at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University. This diverse educational background provides me with a comprehensive understanding of the various aspects of our clients’ businesses.
