The Auditor-General is like a company, but it is just one person. You can think of the Auditor-General as a single entity that can do things on its own. It has its own special seal that it uses officially.
The Auditor-General can do all the things a normal company can do, and it is responsible for its own actions. This means the Auditor-General has the same rights and powers as a company, and it can also get into debt or owe money to others. You can consider the Auditor-General as a separate entity with its own identity.
