KIEV, Sept. 12 - The National Bank of Ukraine Council has upheld the proposal by the NBU's board to sign an agreement with Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC), the largest international audit company, for carrying out the audit of the bank's reports for 2007-2010.

As head of the NBU council Petro Poroshenko told journalists on Tuesday, the decision will allow the bank to save assets that would otherwise be spent attracting a foreign auditor.
