At the Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) we have a diverse range of clients. Your work could involve auditing some of our largest clients, such as the Department of Defence and the Australian Taxation Office, or you could be involved in the audits of mid range and smaller departments, agencies, authorities and government companies. The operations of these entities are unique and diverse, and therefore the nature of each client's business is challenging, and variety is assured - be that through travel, areas of work or the people you meet throughout your work.
The ANAO helps to ensure that Australia's public administration is accountable to Parliament and the public it serves. Our work at the ANAO is central to maintaining public confidence in the quality of financial reporting by the Australian government and its entities. Your work will include undertaking financial statement audits of Australian government entities with the objective of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement so that we can express an opinion on whether they give a true and fair view of the financial position and performance in accordance with the relevant requirements, including the Australian Accounting Standards.
As a leader in the field of public sector audit, the ANAO also works collaboratively with neighbouring governments and organisations to exchange expertise and knowledge in the field of assurance audit. These relationships provide exciting opportunities for professional travel such as international and national secondments and attending and/or contributing to international conferences.
It's challenging work that comes with big rewards in terms of prestige, satisfaction and working conditions.
