What happened
In early October 2026, a report about the “BuhGPT: AI Assistant for Accountants” solution appeared in the general 1C Kazakhstan news feed. It is an extension for “1C: Accounting for Kazakhstan” developed by Slava KVTs, an official partner of 1C that implements and supports 1C:Enterprise software in Kazakhstan.
The fact that the article appeared in the official 1C Kazakhstan feed is important in itself. The artificial intelligence-based assistant is offered as an add-on to the main accounting software used by the country’s accountants, rather than as a separate external service.
What an extension is and why it matters to an accountant
On the 1C:Enterprise platform, an extension is a way to add new features to the software without changing the main standard configuration. For users of “1C: Accounting for Kazakhstan,” this means the following:
- the standard configuration remains unchanged, making it easier to update in line with changes in the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan;
- new features work directly within the familiar software, so there is no need to switch between windows and services;
- the extension can be enabled or disabled without affecting the database’s accounting data.
“1C: Accounting 8 for Kazakhstan” (version 3.0 with the Taxi interface) already covers most accounting department operations: inventories, fixed assets, trade operations, settlements with counterparties, payroll and HR records, tax reporting, and electronic invoices. An AI assistant integrated into this environment is a natural addition to an accountant’s daily work.
Who is affected by the news
First and foremost, the news concerns those who maintain records in “1C: Accounting for Kazakhstan”:
- accountants and chief accountants of organizations and individual entrepreneurs;
- accountant-cashiers and accounting assistants who process and organize source documents;
- executives and chief financial officers who need to obtain accounting answers quickly;
- IT specialists and 1C administrators who install extensions and monitor database updates.
According to the professional standard, an accountant’s primary task is to maintain accounting records in accordance with the regulatory legal acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan and to produce complete and reliable information. Working with source documents, accounting entries, and reconciliations takes up most of the working day. Tools that help users find answers or the correct procedure in the software more quickly are designed specifically for such tasks.
How to approach installation: practical steps
The announcement provides only a general description of the solution. Therefore, before installing it, the complete list of features, supply terms, and configuration version requirements should be confirmed with the developer. The procedure may be as follows:
- Check the software version. Extensions are usually designed for specific configuration releases. The current version number and the list of changes following an update are available under “Administration” → “Online Support and Services”.
- Check the support agreement. An active 1C:ITS agreement provides regular updates and access to the support line and the ITS information system. This will be useful when installing any additional solutions.
- Contact the partner. The extension was developed by Slava KVTs, so the installation terms and price should be confirmed with the company. For questions concerning 1C:ITS support, the company provides the email address sales@1c-sapa.kz.
- Test it in a copy of the database first. It is good practice to install any extension in a test copy of the infobase first and transfer it to the production database only after testing.
- Establish rules for using the assistant’s answers. The AI assistant provides support but is not responsible for the accounting. Final decisions on accounting entries, taxes, and reporting remain the accountant’s responsibility, while disputed matters should be checked against the current regulatory legal acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Where to follow 1C news
Notifications about new solutions, configuration updates, and legislative changes are delivered directly through the software. “1C: Accounting for Kazakhstan 3.0” includes a “News” directory: “Online User Support” → “News”. It allows users to mark important messages, postpone them “until later,” and view unread items so that they do not miss announcements like this one.
