The Office of the Auditor General (OAG) of the Solomon Islands is established under Section 108 of the Constitution of Solomon Islands. The Auditor General is an independent Officer of Parliament responsible for auditing and reporting on the public accounts of Solomon Islands and the accounts of all Ministries, offices, courts, and authorities of the Government.
The OAG is headed by the Auditor General, who is appointed by the Governor-General acting on the advice of the Public Service Commission. The office is organized into the following divisions:
The Office of the Auditor General was established upon Solomon Islands gaining independence on 7 July 1978. Since then, the OAG has played a critical role in promoting public financial accountability. Over the decades, the office has evolved from conducting primarily financial compliance audits to embracing a broader mandate that includes performance auditing, IT auditing, and environmental auditing.
In recent years, the OAG has undertaken significant modernisation efforts, including the adoption of international auditing standards (ISSAIs), investment in digital audit tools, and strengthening of staff professional development programs.
