Applications are now open for the first Tynwald Auditor General, with a closing date of Monday 7th November 2022.  

An Auditor General is a senior official tasked with improving government accountability for public spending, supporting value for money and financial efficiency. The role is independent of both government and the Public Service Commission, and will report annually to Tynwald. 

The position arises from the Tynwald Auditor General Act 2011, with terms and conditions being agreed by Tynwald in May 2021. 

Welcoming the launch of the recruitment process, Speaker of the House of Keys, The Hon Juan Watterson SHK said:

“It is encouraging to be a step closer towards filling this important role. The Auditor General has the potential to make a significant contribution to Tynwald’s oversight of public spending, offering assurance that resources are spent efficiently and effectively, and aligning the Isle of Man with established best practice.”

The Tynwald Auditor General is appointed by Tynwald, on the recommendation of a Selection Committee comprised of Mr Speaker, the Chief Minister, Hon Alfred Cannan MHK, and Daphne Caine MHK.
