26W: Crown entity

You could also call this:

"What is a Crown entity, like Fish and Game Councils, in New Zealand law?"

When you look at Fish and Game Councils, they are considered a Crown entity for certain purposes. This means they are an organisation named in Schedule 4 of the Public Finance Act 1989, which is referred to in subpart 2 of Part 5 of that Act. You can find more information about what this means in the Public Finance Act 1989.

Each Fish and Game Council is also a public entity, as defined in section 4 of the Public Audit Act 2001. This means the Auditor-General is responsible for auditing them. The Auditor-General checks the Council's finances to make sure they are being managed properly.
