Niue's Premier has hit back at New Zealand's Auditor General, saying the office's work in Niue has been shoddy and will be independently assessed.
The claims have emerged after RNZ Pacific reported the contents of a letter from the Auditor General's office warning Niue of unexplained revenue shortfalls and a budget blowout.
Mackenzie Smith reports.
