Who we are and the work we do
What we do
The Auditor-General has two business units – the Office of the Auditor-General (this site) and Audit New Zealand (auditnz.parliament.nz). Together, our work gives Parliament and the public an independent view of how public organisations are operating...
Our people
Our leadership team consists of the Auditor-General, the Deputy Auditor-General, and seven Assistant Auditors-General.
We also have a team of sector managers, who are the contact people in our Office for the organisations we audit, and an Assistant Controller, who leads the team carrying out the Controller function.
