It's an exciting time to be in audit!
We're a specialist public sector agency that supports the Auditor-General of Australia to conduct audits of Australian Government agencies. We report to the Parliament and are proud of the important role we play in keeping government agencies accountable for their exercise of authority and expenditure of public funds.
Through our audits we investigate and report on how government agencies operate, including their finances and how they manage programs, implement policy and run IT systems to achieve the aims of government.
As an ANAO auditor, you could examine Australian Government:
- program implementation, management and monitoring
- IT systems
- financial statements
- service delivery
- procurement processes, contract and grants management
- management of defence assets
- policy development processes
- and more!
Think about all the fast moving policy and implementation challenges faced by government right now. Along with advances that have been made in technology and analytics, it really is an exciting time to be in audit!

Pros and cons of working at Australian National Audit Office (ANAO)
Pros
Great access to training, work related to my area of study, emphasis on high achievement, flexible hours.
The unique type of work we do, the clients, the environment and probably its size.
Being given autonomy to do my work independently, with supervision whenever I need it.
The content of the work and the workplace culture- the work is interesting and engaging, I am granted quite a lot of autonomy and responsibility, and all my colleagues are very supportive of my learning and development.
The interesting work that we do.
Cons
Can be stressful at times.
The emphasis on getting every piece of detail perfect. We are auditors after all, so its pretty much what we do!
Resourcing- there is potential for better integration between service groups and there is currently an imbalance in the relative workloads of each. This results in some employees being overworked while the skills and availability of other employees are not utilised as much as they could be. The organisation is currently working to address this.
Only one office in Canberra - nothing in other states.
Limited to scope to undertake and publish personal research.
