The Turks and Caicos Islands has appointed Anand Heeraman as the territory’s first-ever Auditor General.

Heeraman, who was appointed by Governor Ric Todd, will lead the newly-formed Turks and Caicos National Audit Office.

He had been serving for the past year and a half as a specialist financial consultant to the Attorney General in Trinidad and Tobago’s Anti-Corruption Bureau.

“The importance of this high-profile role was demonstrated by global interest in the post with a total of 15 applications from as far away as New Zealand, Africa and the Middle East,” Todd said. “I am delighted that we have secured the services of a much experienced and motivated individual to take forward this extremely important oversight role.”

The office was established by the National Audit Ordinance 2012, aimed at strengthening the control and supervision by the House of Assembly of public money expenditure.

The NAO replaces the Office of Chief Auditor.
