You have an officer of Parliament called the Deputy Controller and Auditor-General. The Governor-General appoints this person on the recommendation of the House of Representatives. This appointment is an important part of how Parliament works in New Zealand.

You can find out more about what the Deputy Auditor-General does by looking at what the law says about the Auditor-General, because the same rules apply to both roles. The law says that certain sections, like sections 8 and 9, are relevant to the Deputy Auditor-General. These sections help explain how the Deputy Auditor-General fits into the bigger picture of Parliament.
