Cost savings of more than £500,000 have been quoted
The Tynwald Auditor General says he's achieved savings in excess of the cost of running his office in 2025/26.
Stephen Warren's annual report to Tynwald reveals cost savings of at least £504,000 have been achieved through a simplification of the audit and assurance process for local government bodies on the Island.
Meanwhile the total cost of running his office came to £381,000 during the same period.
The report sets out an ambitious programme of value for money inspections covering government activities including Manx Care, the management of fees and charges and fleet management.
The Auditor General has also published a report on Responding to Whistleblowing within Government Departments, Statutory Boards and offices of Government.
It found that whilst arrangements were generally operating as planned, there were opportunities to improve effectiveness in key areas.
These included adding a feedback loop for the Integrity Line, enhanced training, and improved documentation and support to staff working on whistleblowing.
