Audit New Zealand

Improving the performance of, and the public’s trust in, the public sector.

At Audit New Zealand, we have around 280 people who are committed to helping public entities improve the way they operate and report. This helps New Zealanders to have confidence in the information provided by public entities and to know whether they are doing what they said they would.

 

As the leading public sector auditor, we carry out more than 800 audits of public organisations each year on behalf of the Auditor-General. You could find yourself auditing anything from a district health board (including its hospitals), a university, a government department (such as Department of Corrections, the Inland Revenue Department, and the Ministry of Defence) to your local council or airport.

 

We even oversee the Lotto draws. Also, on behalf of the Auditor-General, we audit the governments of Niue and Tokelau.

 

Our audit opinions help reassure the public they can trust an organisation’s financial and performance reports. We also suggest areas for improvements when we come across them during our audit.

 

Auditing is an important job with a lot of responsibility. By doing it well, we help to create a better and stronger public sector and improve the public’s trust in the sector.

 

We’ve got Intern and Graduate positions in all of our seven offices. Although you will be based primarily in one of these offices, you may be auditing anywhere in New Zealand. We also have a Professional Practices Group based in Wellington. They are responsible for developing and maintaining our high professional standards, competence, and quality. They also provide technical advice to the audit teams.

 

Audit New Zealand is one of New Zealand’s largest employers of aspiring Chartered Accountants. We take our role seriously in helping high-calibre graduates turn into well-rounded professionals.
