Auditing

Norges Bank’s Supervisory Council organises audits pursuant to the Norges Bank Act. Central Bank Audit submits an audit report to the Supervisory Council on the Bank’s annual financial statements. In 2007, the Supervisory Council entered into an agreement with accountancy firm Deloitte AS on financial auditing of the Government Pension Fund – Global. Deloitte and Central Bank Audit submit a separate audit statement to the Supervisory Board on the financial reporting for the Government Pension Fund – Global, presented in a note to Norges Bank’s annual financial statements.

The Office of the Auditor General is responsible for the final audit of the Government Pension Fund – Global in the national accounts, and bases its work partly on material from Central Bank Audit under the terms of an agreement
