Norway constitutional monarchy in Northern Europe

Norway, officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a Nordic country in Northwestern Europe whose territory comprises the western and northernmost portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula; the remote island of Jan Mayen and the archipelago of Svalbard are also part of the Kingdom of Norway. The Antarctic Peter I Island and the sub-Antarctic Bouvet Island are dependent territories and thus not considered part of the kingdom. Norway also lays claim to a section of Antarctica known as Queen Maud Land.

An auditor is a person or a firm appointed by a company to execute an audit. To act as an auditor, a person should be certified by the regulatory authority of accounting and auditing or possess certain specified qualifications. Generally, to act as an external auditor of the company, a person should have a certificate of practice from the regulatory authority.

Diriks was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. He was the son of Norwegian statesman Christian Adolph Diriks. He grew up in Laurvig (now Larvik), Norway where his father was Magistrate and Judge. He was cand. jur. in 1830 and an auditor in 1833. In 1840 he became a member of the Military Law Commission. He served as Minister of Auditing for two brief periods in 1856 and 1857, [2] and later as temporary Minister of Postal Affairs in 1861. [3] [4]
