I believe the answer is:

auditor general

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'official supervising public accounts' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'read regulation out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'read'+'regulation'='readregulation'
'readregulation' is an anagram of 'AUDITOR GENERAL'.

'for' is the link.
