We do this by conducting independent financial and performance audits across the entire NSW public service including NSW Treasury, City of Sydney Council, Taronga Park Zoo, Transport for NSW, the University of Sydney, the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the NSW Police Force.

We have a people-focussed culture that is supported by our values of integrity, curiosity and open-mindedness, speaking out when we need to, and ultimately taking pride in the important work we do.

Our graduate program will provide you with a career that will challenge and reward you. Ultimately, you will grow into a connected and experienced audit professional who helps bring about positive outcomes for the people of New South Wales.

• an exceptional people culture that values diversity
• comprehensive training including a formal induction program, professional skill development and half-yearly methodology training
• working a 35-hour week on average, with compensation for extra hours put in during the busy times of the year.
