Performance Analyst

'I knew my experience could get me a good job in most corporate environments, but I wanted to work on important projects with an organisation that provided an opportunity for me to have real impact. That's what attracted me to the ANAO. The projects I work on affect my clients, the economy and people's lives.'

'Every part of the process, from project planning through to appearing at Parliamentary Committees adds value. And because we work in small teams, I have regular contact with key players in the client organisations we audit. It's a great opportunity to build your profile at senior levels and earn professional recognition and respect for your abilities.'

'Perhaps most important of all, the ANAO is completely independent, so achieving tangible results is within our control. You know that your recommendations can make an impact that really counts.'

Individuals in Analyst level positions engage in specific audit assignments with a low to medium level of complexity. The main tasks revolve around the gathering of data and evidence and the preparation of documentation, reports and papers on those audit assignments. You have a fair degree of independence, but within the guidance of your supervisors.

At Senior Analyst level, you engage in more complex audit tasks and are responsible for formulating audit work plans and participating in the continuous improvement of audit techniques. In addition to the data gathering and documentation tasks, you also form opinions and develop recommendations. The increased responsibility at this level is matched with a higher level of autonomy.

At Director level, you take on the responsibility for managing and delivering smaller and less complex audits or leading teams in larger and more complex audits, or managing follow-up audits. Your focus is on both the analysis and reporting of complex audit issues and the leadership and development of team members. You're also responsible for the management of client relationships, and the development of professional relationships with Parliamentary Committees, Client Audit Committees and other senior stakeholders.

At Senior Director (Audit Manager) level, you take on the responsibility for managing and delivering large, complex audits and managing overall audit products. Your focus is on both the analysis and reporting of complex audit issues and the leadership and development of team members. You're also responsible for the management of client relationships, and the development of professional relationships with Parliamentary Committees, Client Audit Committees and other senior stakeholders, and assist in the management of the Performance Audit Service Group.
