Adding value through audit
Audit can provide District Health Boards (DHBs) and health services with important and valuable insight. It can help provide organisations with credibility, and funders and users of a service with confidence.
Audit and Assurance operates as an independent division of HealthShare, responsible for undertaking third party independent DHB agreement audits and related activities. Audit and Assurance provides agreement delivery assurance and risk advice to Midland DHBs, based on audits of contracted non-governmental organisations (NGOs).
