About us
The Audit Office of New South Wales is a statutory authority, established under the Government Sector Audit Act 1983, that conducts audits for the Auditor-General. These audits help Parliament hold government accountable for its use of public resources. The Audit Office conducts financial and performance audits, principally under the Government Sector Audit Act 1983 and the Local Government Act 1993. Financial audits provide an independent opinion on NSW government entities', universities' and councils' financial statements. They identify whether their financial statements comply with accounting standards and relevant laws, regulations and government directions. Performance audits review whether public money is spent efficiently, effectively, economically and in accordance with the law. Special audits are sometimes conducted to confirm that specific legislation, directions, and regulations have been adhered to. The Audit Office also provides certain assurance services over Commonwealth grants and payments to the NSW government and local government under Commonwealth legislation. The core values of the Audit Office of New South Wales are: • Pride in purpose • Curious and open-minded • Valuing people • Contagious integrity • Courage (even when it's uncomfortable)

We’ve been lighting up the Audit Office with Diwali celebrations since 2012 and marked our 13th year this week, led by Kamal Colah and opened by Deputy Auditor-General Claudia Migotto. Diwali, or Deepavali, marks the start of the Hindu New Year according to the lunar calendar. It’s the ultimate face-off: good versus evil, light versus darkness, and light always wins! We enjoyed a day filled with colour, tradition, delicious food and fun games, including trivia and ‘housie’ (or Indian bingo). Thank you to all our organisers and attendees for another fabulous event.

Did you know? The Audit Office has its own social organisation that is fully funded by employees, run by a representative committee, and governed by a constitution. It's called the ReClub (Recreation Club). Established in the early 1900s, the ReClub helps promote team building, strengthens employee engagement and creates a fun environment for its people to connect, and build strong relationships. Pictured is a social lawn bowls event from the 1950s. Learn more about our people: https://lnkd.in/gf6MmN6j #Bicentenary #AONSW #MoreThanNumbers
