Independent external audit is an important part of the process of accountability for public money. It provides assurance to citizens on both the careful and responsible management of public funds and on corporate governance.
The purpose of the Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG), fulfilled through the Jersey Audit Office (JAO), is to provide independent assurance to the people of Jersey on the extent to which public money is spent economically, efficiently and effectively and on whether the controls and governance arrangements in place within public bodies demonstrate value for money.
The C&AG’s remit includes the audit of financial statements and wider consideration of public funds, including internal financial control, value for money and corporate governance; and the effectiveness of the Office of C&AG is dependent on building and maintaining the confidence of both the States and the citizens of Jersey in the independence and effectiveness of the Office.
The scope of this ITT is to replace the incumbent provision of IT support services to the Jersey Audit Office (JAO). These are currently provided by an incumbent supplier and the Solution Requirements in the tender document outline the key points of the current service as well as enhancements which are desirable to the JAO.
