About us
Our people are our most valuable resources as we rely on our highly qualified and professional skills and experience to carry out public audit. We recognise the need to support and invest in the development of our people as individuals and we want work experience with the Office to be personally fulfilling and career enhancing. We are committed to investing in our people and building a positive, diverse and innovative workplace. Our mission is to add as much value as we can to public service in Ireland through the provision of high quality audit services, focused on improving the use of public money and resources, and strengthening public accountability. Our public audit role covers 285 sets of financial statements and accounts produced by public bodies. Together, those bodies have financial transactions that total over €270 billion of public money each year. Our core focus is to support the process whereby public bodies and decision makers are held to account in respect of the use of public resources by providing independent assurance in relation to financial management, financial performance, governance and propriety in the conduct of public business, and value for money within public services. We also seek to add value to the organisations we audit through the provision of recommendations backed by clear evidence, not just in respect of their individual performance but also with regard to identifying crosscutting themes and good practice in the use of public resources.
