- preparing and reviewing advice, audit reports, policies, guidance, instructions, and reference material;
- making submissions to local and international standard-setting bodies; and
- mentoring the technical team.

The Manager role reports to the Associate Director, and will support them in this work.

- at least five years' practical experience (including audit experience) in several sectors;
- a solid understanding of the Auditor-General's expectations of a public sector audit, including audit independence;
- membership of the CA College of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (or equivalent);

- excellent interpersonal skills and a collaborative working style;
- excellent written and verbal communication skills;
- experience in research and analysis; and

- Ongoing learning and professional development opportunities.
- Supportive hybrid working arrangements (flexible hours/days).
- Health and well-being benefits.
- We value originality and effort. Although AI can be helpful, we require you to submit a cover letter and CV that reflects your own voice and experiences. _
