Life at AGSA

The AGSA views work as an extension of an employee’s passion; as a result the organisation provides its employees with meaningful work opportunities. Our employees are able to see and connect how their work benefits stakeholders, society and themselves.

Our core business

We conduct Regulatory audits at our National Business Units and offices in each province – the nature of these audits allow our employees (through auditing) an opportunity to contribute towards strengthening oversight, accountability and governance in the public sector.

The AGSA offers employees opportunities to work on cross functional teams on various organisational initiatives. This method of work opens up opportunities for employees to work across diversity boundaries, thereby experiencing the true meaning of “strength in diversity”.

Our corporate business units create a sustainable, healthy workplace through the provision of agile, fit-for-purpose people solutions. They passionately serve the organisation by enabling innovation, digital transformation and explorative learning experiences.

International assignments also provide employees with a global perspective on their field of work as well as exposure on cultural awareness.

We have Specialised Audit Services – through which integrated work provides exceptional value add for our regularity auditors and our specialist experts in Performance Audit, Information Systems Audit, Material Irregularity and Investigations.
