Pacific Association of Supreme Audit Institutions

Program Coordinator - Sub-regional Audit Support(SAS)

The Pacific Association of Supreme Audit Institutions (PASAI) is the official association of government Audit Offices in the Pacific region. It has more than 20 member institutions (known as SAIs), and operates throughout the Pacific with a Secretariat based in Auckland, New Zealand.

PASAI has adopted a Sub-regional Audit Support (SAS) Program to assist the audit offices in Kiribati, Nauru, and Tuvalu in producing audited public accounts to uniformly high standards in a timely manner. The program has a significant emphasis on the development and understanding of public auditing methodology, and on capacity building in the three SAIs. The first cycle of reports under the Program is currently being completed, and PASAI is now recruiting a Program Coordinator to manage the second and third cycles.

We are seeking an innovative, experienced auditor to manage the work of PASAI’s SAS team. Reporting to the SAS Program Committee, the Program Coordinator will be responsible for:

coordinating and managing the SAS program and the SAS team;
initiating the development of audit methodology;
organizing activities which develop and evaluate professional learning and collaboration; and
tracking the progress of secondees through the program.

Applicants should have demonstrable potential to make a senior contribution to the SAS program‘s outcomes, and to foster links with relevant SAIs and stakeholders.

This will be a fixed term position, which will require extensive amounts of time to be spent onsite in Kiribati, Nauru and Tuvalu and at other Pacific region sites, and occasionally at the PASAI Secretariat in Auckland, New Zealand.

Applicants must have at least 5 years experience working in an SAI in the Pacific or similar location, preferably in a Level 5 or 6 (Audit Supervisor/Auditor-in-charge, Audit Manager) position. A 4-year degree is required, and a professional certification (CA, CPA, CISA, CFE, CIA) is preferred.

The position will be filled through a consultancy agreement negotiated between PASAI and the successful candidate. A secondment arrangement would be considered in the case of an applicant who is currently employed by an SAI.

A more detailed position description and other information are available on this website..

Application packages for the position must be received by 18 July 2010, and should be sent to:
