BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 14.

During his speech at the Azerbaijan Financial Forum, Ismayilov noted that the monitoring process elucidated discrepancies, as NBCOs had historically deprioritized the imperative of information security.

"We continue to work in this area, and in the next phase, requirements for conducting external audits and corporate governance standards for NBCOs will be developed," he added.
