You read 'a unique role' advertised all too often. In this case, it's true. There is just one Senior Forensic Accountant in Fisheries New Zealand. Fisheries New Zealand works to ensure that fisheries resources are managed to provide the greatest overall benefit to New Zealanders. Our focus is the sustainability of New Zealand's wild fish stocks, aquaculture, and the wider aquatic environment, now and for future generations. This role is pivotal to helping us realise this.
