Audit Wales is the trademark of our two legal entities: the Auditor General for Wales and the Wales Audit Office. 

Each has its own particular powers and duties: 

  • The Auditor General audits and reports on Welsh public bodies. 

  • The Wales Audit Office provides staff and other resources for the Auditor General’s work, and monitors and advises the Auditor General.
