The House of Representatives must choose an auditor to check the Ombudsmen's work. The auditor follows the rules in the Public Audit Act 2001 when doing the audit. You can find these rules on the Public Audit Act 2001 website.
The auditor has the same jobs and powers as the Auditor-General when checking the Ombudsmen's work. This means the auditor can do everything the Auditor-General can do. The auditor's job is to make sure the Ombudsmen are doing their work correctly.
