247: Auditor-General is auditor of water organisation

You could also call this:

"The Auditor-General checks water organisations' money to ensure everything is fair and honest."

Illustration for Local Government (Water Services) Act 2025

The Auditor-General is in charge of checking the finances of a water organisation. You can think of the Auditor-General like a referee who makes sure everything is fair and honest. This rule applies even if other laws, such as sections 207P to 207V of the Companies Act 1993, say something different.

The Auditor-General's role is important to ensure that water organisations are managed properly. You might be wondering what a water organisation is, but that is not explained here. The Auditor-General will still be the one to check their finances.
