About us
The relationship between Parliament and the Auditor-General is essential in achieving public accountability, a fundamental component of a functioning democracy.
This close connection of the Auditor-General to Parliament and ultimately the community is reflected in NT Auditor-General's Office (NTAGO) new logo.
The logo symbolises a petal on the Sturt’s desert rose, the floral emblem of the Northern Territory and a prominent feature throughout the Parliament House.
The deliberate use of triangles signifies that all audit engagements have 3 separate parties: the responsible party (the public sector and the government), the intended users (Parliament and the community) and the independent auditor (Auditor‑General).
The concept of independence, both actual and perceived is the most important principle underpinning the role of the Auditor-General. It was important that the logo was distinguishable from the Northern Territory Government branding and other symbols used widely by the government, such as the Northern Territory Government crest.
