Legislation Act 2001, Division 19.3.2A

1.	Under Schedule 1 of the Auditor-General Act 1996 and Division 19.3.2A of the 	Legislation Act 2001, the Executive appoints 

Mr Bernard Sheville
	to act as Auditor-General during any period, or during all periods, when the Auditor-	General is for any reason unable to perform the functions of the office, or the office of 	Auditor-General is vacant.
2.	This instrument is effective for the period 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2011

Explanatory Note 	This appointment of an officer to act as Auditor-General is made under Division 19.3.2A of the Legislation Act 2001 because the arrangement is intended to cover any period during 2011 when the Auditor-General is on leave or the office is vacant. That is, this is a standing acting arrangement which will be in place for the duration of the year and only be called up when the person appointed as Auditor-General cannot fulfil the functions of the office, for example, because he/she is on leave or has vacated the office.  

Additionally, the Executive may appoint a person to act as Auditor-General only after the requirements of section 1.5 of Schedule 1 of the Auditor-General Act 1996 have been met, that is, after the Minister has consulted the presiding member of the public accounts committee about the appointment. These requirements have been met on this occasion.
