* The Corporate Services function is shared between the OAG and Audit New Zealand business units. From 2008, the staff numbers for Corporate Services are shown separately. In previous years, these staff numbers were distributed between the two business units.
** During 2007/08, a restructure resulted in a small change in allocation of staff between the shared Corporate Services team and Audit New Zealand. This restructure also led to increased turnover, contributing an estimated 2% to each of the totals for shared Corporate Services and Audit New Zealand.
