Working with us

We want Audit Wales to be a team in which people are proud to be a part of and are passionate about what they do. We believe an engaged and inclusive environment is an environment in which everyone can excel.

By joining Audit Wales, you’ll be part of the important work we do within the public sector, to:

  • Assure the people of Wales that public money is being managed well.
  • Explain how public money is being used and how it meets people’s needs.
  • Inspire and empower the Welsh public sector to improve.

As auditors, we don’t just look back: we horizon scan, and our thoughts and actions are future-focused in the context of the well-being of future generations.

As a public audit body, independence sits at the very heart of everything that we do.

We support innovation and well-managed risk taking, both for ourselves and also for those who try it out in our audited bodies.

Integrity underpins all of our interactions with each other, with the public and with the bodies that we audit.

Collaboration is vital for public service delivery in Wales, and in the ways in which we work with each other and with the inspectorates.

We act with fairness at all times in how we treat our colleagues, our audited bodies and the public.

We are honest, selfless and approachable, creating a safe and open environment for everyone to be themselves and to care for, support and encourage each other.

We embrace diversity and treat each other fairly, building strong working relationships, speaking our mind thoughtfully and being open to challenge.

We are confident and willing to take risks, displaying a positive can-do attitude, having fun and celebrating success.

We are flexible and innovative, always developing our knowledge and skills and seeking new experiences.

We take responsibility for our actions, deliver on our promises, share knowledge opening, act in the best interests of the Wales Audit Office and enable others to succeed.

Our values and behaviours outline what is important to us and what we aspire to be.
