Italian term

MAGISTRATO AI CONTI

Italian to English Law/Patents Law (general) legislazione
a political title for an Italian position in a post-war colony. - A person who signs a law just issued for endorsement

My attempt:

AUDITING JUDGE (though it's rather political, not accounting, and at government level)

JUSTICE AUDIT

ENDORSEMENT JUDGE

or similar

REPEAT: nothing to do with accounting

Proposed translations

1 hr
Selected

judge on the court of auditors

Largely reflects the structure in Italy.

See e.g. for Somalia: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ueo-AQAAIAAJ&q="MAGISTRA...
Note from asker:
on a second thought, perhaps in Italian colonies such governors also held accounting and high-level auditing duties - like the Corte dei Conti, a control or supervision function reflected in the position. So I actually I left judge and the auditing thing, thanks once again Thomas!

endorsement magistrate/officer

if it has nothing to do with the magistrati contabili della Corte dei Conti, then you can use endorsement magistrate (persona che ricopre carica pubblica) or officer

Senior Law Officer; (BrE) Governor-General

Working inductively from the asker's explanation, rather than deductively from the Itlaian accounting 'misnomer'.
Example sentence:

Governor-general definition, a governor who is chief over subordinate or deputy governors.
