Leader of government, an auditor, redesigned an educational ceremony (10)

I believe the answer is:

graduation

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

'an educational ceremony' is the definition.
'graduation' can be an answer for 'ceremony' (graduation is a kind of ceremony). I'm not certain of the 'an educational' bit.

'leader of government an auditor redesigned' is the wordplay.
'leader of' suggests taking the first letters.
'redesigned' indicates an anagram.
The initial letter of 'government' is 'g'.
'an'+'auditor'='anauditor'
'anauditor' is an anagram of 'raduation'.
'g'+'raduation'='GRADUATION'

(Another definition for graduation that I've seen is " Successful completion of study".)
