by Zeljko Heimer
I saw this flag on Customs Office near village of Ilek (border of Orenburg Region (Russia) and West-Kazakhstan Region). The Inscriptions on the flag: CUSTOMS - in english and "KEDEN" - "customs" in the Kazakh language) There is an element of national COA in the centre of the flag.

More info on this flag: it was adopted by Government on 6, July, 1997 (Decision #932).
According to the Decision the light-blue colour symbolizes national flag of Kazakhstan,
green colour is a "international sign of state borders". Inscriptions must be made in white letters. But in fact letters usually blue.
Ratio 2:3.

The refered eight pointed star seems to be the symbol "Start of Rub el Hizb".
This is an islamic sign (one
more) and is found in other emblem and flags.

I wouldn't wander if we found out that the disk behind the triangle is in fact
orange and not red. I suppose that the redish look in the original image is
just an artefact of digitalization.

Symbols of Accounts Committee for control over execution of the republican budget
from http://esep.kz/eng/show1/article/3
"The flag of the Accounts Committee has a picture of gold color beams and
ornaments and logo, on which a soaring eagle is depicted and Kazakh ornament
is used.
An eagle is one of the national symbols of the Republic of Kazakhstan, its
image in the logo has a meaning of supervision. The pose of a bird with
spread wings indicates the continuous development, the desire to conquer new
heights, thus this information passes to logo customers on the verbal level.
Inan equilateral ornament, as a symbol of institution belonging to the
authorities of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the original Kazakh pattern has
been used. The elements used in the ornament, in Kazakh culture symbolize
wisdom and life experience. The idea of an equilateral ornament composition
puts the focus and visualizes the stability and balance. Ornament at the
same time has a weight, which is good distinguishable for the consumer and,
at the same time, is light and transparent, showing the transparency of the
Accounts Committee".
