We’re an accredited employer, so we welcome overseas applications from qualified auditors.

Audit Director or Associate Audit Director

Audit New Zealand is the leading provider of audit and assurance services to the public sector. We’re committed to delivering the highest quality service to our public sector clients.

We’re looking for Audit Directors or Associate Audit Directors to join our team in Wellington.

Audit Directors and Associates are responsible for a portfolio of audits which may include for-profit and public benefit entities operating in central government and/or local government. They’re delegated full responsibility to sign audit reports on behalf of the Auditor-General, in accordance with the requirements of the Public Audit Act 2001.

Audit Directors and Associates also have an important leadership role, ensuring that their audit colleagues develop personally and professionally, and that Audit New Zealand operates effectively and efficiently.

With a particular focus on audit quality, audit and team leadership, and client relationship management, you’ll need excellent technical skills and knowledge as well as excellent people and communication skills. It’s essential that you’re a Chartered Accountant (or have an equivalent overseas professional qualification recognised by the Auditor-General).

If you’re an experienced Audit Director/Partner or Audit Manager looking for a new set of challenges, or are keen to come back into an audit leadership role, this is a great opportunity to work in a professional and employee-focused organisation. We welcome applications from people who wish to work full-time or part-time.

As an organisation people matter to us, our independence is critical, we act with integrity, and we’re here to make a difference.

For more information, contact Sandy Hoggarth on 04 917 1500 or email recruitment@auditnz.parliament.nz.

You must apply online through jobs.govt.nz (you'll find the position descriptions there, too).

Applications close Sunday 24 March 2024.
