Our Vision
To enhance public sector transparency and accountability and fight corruption by delivering excellence in audit services.
Our Purpose
Under the Westminster system of government, Parliament is supreme. All authority for governmental activity ultimately stems from Parliament. Public
sector organizations are therefore accountable to Parliament for their use of the public resources and powers that it has conferred on them.
The Auditor General plays a crucial role in the framework of public accountability under the Westminster System. The Auditor General serves as
the external auditor of Government with a duty to report independently and directly to Parliament on the results of audit examinations performed,
ensuring government transparency and accountability to the public through the Parliament.
In essence the Auditor General exists as a constitutional safeguard to maintain the financial integrity of the Solomon Island’s parliamentary system of
government.
Our Key Stakeholders
The Office of the Auditor General’s (OAG) primary client and key stakeholder is the National Parliament and the community through Parliament. As
well, the Provincial Governments and various State Owned Enterprises and Statutory Bodies as auditees are also key
stakeholders.
The OAG also contributes to a broader national accountability to donor agencies such as the Asian Development Bank, AusAID,
European Union, International Monetary Fund, Japanese International Cooperation Agency, NZAID, United Nations, World Bank and to regional
partners participating in and donating to the nation through the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI) and other international and
bilateral arrangement, for the resources being invested in the country through this mission.
Our Staff
The OAG comprises around 25 professional and administrative staff who are responsible to the Auditor General of
the Solomon Islands. Staff in the main have as a base qualification a Diploma in Finance and Administration from the Solomon Islands College of Higher
Education and are encouraged to advance their studies through University studies and professional accounting institutions.
