Audits of public entities
14Auditor of public entities
The Auditor-General is the auditor of every public entity.
Nothing in sections 15 to 19 limits subsection (1).
Public Audit Act 2001
Audits and reports - Audits of public entities
14: Auditor of public entities
"Who checks the money of public organisations?"
The Auditor-General is in charge of checking the finances of every public entity. You can think of the Auditor-General like a referee who makes sure public entities are handling their money correctly. The Auditor-General's role applies to all public entities, and nothing in sections 15 to 19 changes this.
The rules in sections 15 to 19 do not limit the Auditor-General's role as the auditor of public entities. This means the Auditor-General still has the job of checking the finances of public entities. The Auditor-General's job is an important one to ensure public entities are transparent and accountable.
