Overall responsibility for audit of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, as for all Government Departments, lies with the Comptroller and Auditor General. My Department does not employ any external auditors. The Department has an internal audit function which employs four qualified auditors to undertake this task. In addition in our Programme Countries in receipt of Overseas Aid funds the Department employs eight internal auditors.
