Our Office waiata – Te Mana Arotake
Auditor-General’s mid-term review
Lyrics by Angela and Susan Wallace, music by Rosie Salas
| Ruia taitea kia tū | Cast away the sapwood |
| ko taikaka anake | but let the heart remain |
| Anei rā mātou | Here we are |
| o Te Mana Arotake | the Office of the Auditor-General |
| E whakatau tika te huarahi | Seeking accountability |
| mō te Paremata e | on behalf of Parliament |
| Anei rā mātou | Here we are |
| o Te Mana Arotake | the Office of the Auditor-General |
| E whakatau tika te huarahi | Seeking accountability |
| mō te tāngata e | on behalf of the people |
| Ko te mahi tūturu | Our main purpose |
| kia ū te kawanatanga | is that the government maintains |
| Ki te tika, te pono | Its integrity and honesty |
| mō te iwi whānui e | for all people |
