Who we are
The Auditor General audits the finances and activities of Western Australian state and local government entities and reports findings to Parliament.
Parliament seeks independent and impartial assurance from the Auditor General that public sector entities are providing services and using public money in a way that meets the expectations and needs of Western Australians and the requirements of the state's laws.
Our audit reports increase transparency of the public sector and, where necessary, make recommendations for improvements to an entity’s governance and the efficiency and effectiveness of the services it delivers.
