Compliance Audit

Review evidence against a defined set of statutory, contractual and internal obligations.

Overview

Review evidence against a defined set of statutory, contractual and internal obligations. Start by identifying the purpose, reporting period and intended users of the work. BIAT can assess the available records and propose an engagement with defined responsibilities and deliverables.

Records to prepare

Use this starting checklist to prepare for a discussion. The final evidence requirements are confirmed after the initial assessment.

  • Obligation register and policy records
  • Filed returns and supporting acknowledgements
  • Relevant contracts and previous observations

Deliverables and engagement planning

The compliance audit scope identifies the output, review steps and information required from your team. Where a filing, report or certificate needs an eligible professional, that role is confirmed before the engagement proceeds. The proposal records fees, exclusions, dependencies and target milestones. Authority review, incomplete records or changes to the request can affect timing.
