Internal Audit


Independent insight with practical outcomes.

Our internal audit services help organisations evaluate and improve the effectiveness of their governance, risk management and control processes. By providing independent and objective assurance, we give boards, audit & risk committees, and management peace of mind that risks are being managed, and controls are working as intended.

Internal audit is more than compliance. It is about:

  • Identifying risks before they escalate
  • Reviewing the efficiency and effectiveness of processes
  • Highlighting opportunities for improvement
  • Providing confidence to regulators, stakeholders and the community.

Whether you need a full internal audit program, a single targeted review, or support for your audit & risk committee, we can tailor our services to suit your needs.

Our approach to internal audit

We take a risk-based, collaborative approach:

  • Understand your organisation

    Its size, structure, sector and risk profile.
  • Assess risks and controls

    Review the design and effectiveness of controls across governance, financial, operational and technology areas.
  • Deliver clear, practical insights

    Findings are prioritised, with recommendations that are realistic and achievable.
  • Support improvement

    Working with management to implement changes and embed stronger controls.

Areas we review

Our internal audit reviews can cover all areas of risk, including but not limited to:

  • Payroll and human resources (recruitment to termination)
  • Rostering, leave management and payroll remediation
  • Occupational health and safety, including psychosocial hazards
  • Organisation culture and governance frameworks
  • Cyber security and information technology
  • Business continuity and disaster recovery
  • Fraud and corruption prevention
  • Procurement, contract management and supplier payments
  • Pricing, billing, accounts receivable and cash handling
  • Clinical service areas (health, aged care, NDIS, allied health)
  • Operational service delivery (customer service, waste, volunteer management, maternal child health, student enrolments).

We provide internal audit services to:

  • Local government
  • Health and community services
  • Aged care and NDIS providers
  • Financial services (including CPS 234 compliance)
  • Education providers
  • Not-for-profits and community organisations
