Internal audit services
Internal audits help organisations assess the effectiveness of their internal processes, manage risk, and enhance operational performance. At Allen Audit & Advisory, we deliver internal audits that go beyond compliance, we offer clarity, confidence, and practical recommendations for improvement.
You’ll work directly with our experienced partners and team, receiving tailored insights and straightforward communication every step of the way.
Who needs an internal audit?
Internal audits are valuable for organisations that want to:
- Strengthen internal controls and reduce the risk of fraud or error
- Improve operational efficiency and resource use
- Address risks proactively, not reactively
- Meet stakeholder expectations for transparency and good governance
- Follow up on previous external audit findings
- Prepare for future external audits or funding applications
We regularly conduct internal audits for corporates, not-for-profits, clubs and associations, trust account holders, schools, AFS licensees, and strata entities across Australia.

What’s involved?
We customise each internal audit to suit your structure, risks, and objectives. Our process typically includes:
1. Scoping and planning
We work with you to define the audit focus—whether that’s payroll, debt collection, financial reporting, compliance, or another critical area.
2. Fieldwork and analysis
Our team reviews documentation, tests systems and transactions, and speaks with key personnel to understand how things are working and where improvements can be made.
3. Reporting and recommendations
You’ll receive a clear, actionable report that outlines strengths, risks, and opportunities. We highlight practical steps to improve controls, close gaps, and support stronger decision-making.
Important to know
Because of our commitment to independence, Allen Audit & Advisory cannot perform both internal and external audits for the same organisation. However, many clients engage us for internal audits where an external audit is managed by another firm, and vice versa.

Our difference:
- Dedicated audit-only firm with no accounting arm
- Direct access to experienced partners

We stay at the forefront of audit tools and data analytics, giving you a deeper view of your organisation’s systems, risks, and performance.
