The ACT Audit Office was established to assist the Auditor-General’s work, including conducting financial and performance audits. A simple guide to understanding the ACT Audit Office can be found here.
The three operational areas of the ACT Audit Office are; Financial Audit; Performance Audit; and Professional Services. The Office comprises around 45 people including auditors and staff who provide services such as administration, financial management, reporting, human resources management, technical research, quality assurance and ICT support. See the organisational structure for more detail.
Our Vision, Role and Values
The ACT Audit Office’s Strategic Plan sets out the vision, role, and values of the Office and defines its objectives.
These values align with those of the ACT Public Service; a difference arises due to the ACT Audit Office's core value of independence which takes precedence over the ACT Public Service value of collaboration. However, the ACT Audit Office uses collaborative approaches in undertaking its work and attention is given to doing this within the context of the Office's independence.
