Public Audit Act 2001

Transitional provisions - Continuation of offices

55: Controller and Auditor-General and Deputy Controller and Auditor-General

You could also call this:

"People already in top audit jobs keep working with the same rules"

When this Act started, the people who were already Controller and Auditor-General or Deputy Controller and Auditor-General got to keep their jobs. You will still have the same terms and conditions as you had before the Act started. This means nothing changes for the people in these roles, they just keep working as they were before.
