This booklet is specifically for members of Parliament (MPs). It complements a number of other documents such as the more general publication, All about the Controller and Auditor-General. That and other recent publications are listed at the back of this booklet and are available on our website, www.oag.govt.nz.

This booklet briefly explains:

• the role of the Controller and Auditor-General (the Auditor-General);
• the Auditor-General's independence;
• the support the Auditor-General can provide to MPs;
• the statutory functions of the Auditor-General; and
• what the Auditor-General does not do.

The booklet also lists sector managers and their portfolio responsibilities and provides our contact details.
