Our services are funded through the appropriations for Vote Audit 2021/22. We set out here the amounts we budgeted to spend and what we actually spent on each appropriation for the year ended 30 June 2022.

The purpose of this appropriation is to support Parliament in ensuring accountability for the use of public resources. MCA means multi-category appropriation, and it includes two categories.

This appropriation provides for audit services to all public organisations (except smaller public organisations) and other audit-related assurance services. The audit services we provide are funded by audit fees charged to public organisations.

This appropriation is limited to the performance of audit and related assurance services as required or authorised by statute. It provides for audit and related assurance services of smaller organisations, such as cemetery trusts and reserve boards, which are funded by the Crown, rather than by audit fees charged to these organisations.

This appropriation is limited to remuneration expenses for the Auditor-General and the Deputy Auditor-General, as authorised by clause 5 of Schedule 3 of the Public Audit Act 2001.

This appropriation is limited to the purchase of assets by, and for the use of, the Auditor-General, as authorised by section 24(1) of the Public Finance Act 1989.
