Surveyor and Auditor-General of the Plantations
Summary
The Surveyor and Auditor-General of His Majesty's Revenue in America was an office of the British Treasury that existed from 1680 to 1835. The holder was responsible for auditing and examining accounts of Crown revenues originating in the American colonies. After the death of the first incumbent, it increasingly took on the character of a sinecure. The loss of the Thirteen Colonies greatly decreased the revenue and duties associated with the office, and it became defunct in 1835.
