Who we are looking for: A performance audit is like a research project, so we are looking for inquiring, detail-oriented people who enjoy focusing on a single project for an extended period of time (8–12 months).

We are seeking candidates who can: plan, manage and deliver projects within allocated budgets and timeframes; manage work allocations and staff development for a small team; prepare high quality professional audit reports for the Parliament that meet auditing standards; manage and develop positive and constructive entity relationships to support audit delivery; engage with audit entities (including their senior leadership) on a no surprises basis, that ensures their sufficient input and ability to respond to findings; represent the ANAO in parliamentary committees and briefings to parliamentarians; demonstrate how judgments have been made based on available evidence; supervise staff including reviewing performance and providing comprehensive performance assessment and feedback; and contribute to improvement in performance audit techniques.
