KIEV, June 10 - Trout Cacheris, PLLC (Washington, the United States), along with other firms, has started to carry out an independent audit of the financial activities of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko's government several weeks ago under an order from the present government, and promise to publish their interim results.

"I'd call it an investigation, rather than an audit. It's being carried out and it's too early to say how long it will last, but I think that it won't last for more than a few months," one of the founders of Trout Cacheris, Plato Cacheris said at a press conference in Kiev on Wednesday.
