Who needs an external audit?
In Australia, an external audit is mandatory for many organisations, including:
- Companies required to comply with the Corporations Act
- Not-for-profits and charities reporting to The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC)
- Australian Financial Services (AFS) Licensees with Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) obligations
- Schools and education providers receiving government funding
- Clubs and associations under state-based legislation
- Trust account holders, including real estate agents, solicitors, and accountants
Even if not a requirement, an audit can be a valuable exercise for organisations preparing for growth, funding applications, or internal process reviews.
