Not-for-profit audits
Not-for-profits operate in a world of unique responsibilities, tight regulations, and limited resources, often managed by people juggling competing demands—many without formal financial training. That’s why we deliver clear, efficient audits that are tailored to the realities of the sector and the people working in it.
Whether you’re a charity, club, or community group, we help simplify the audit process so you can focus on the outcomes that matter most.
Specialists in not-for-profit audit requirements
With decades of experience working with not-for-profit organisations across Australia, we understand the nuances of your sector—grant acquittals, fundraising and raffle compliance, government reporting, volunteer-run finances, and fluctuating income streams.
We work with:
- Registered charities
- Independent and non-government schools
- Sporting, cultural, and social clubs
- Community associations and member-based organisations
- Peak bodies and foundations
Our audits are tailored to suit your structure, obligations, and size, from smaller clubs with simple activity, to large organisations managing complex funding, staffing, and reporting requirements.
Why audit matters in the not-for-profit sector
Audits strengthen transparency, build stakeholder trust, and can uncover areas to improve financial governance or streamline operations.
We regularly work with not-for-profits reporting to:
- The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC)
- State-based regulators for incorporated associations
- The Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (OLGR) for licensed venues and raffles
- Education authorities and other sector-specific funders
For organisations with gaming licences, raffle proceeds, or government funding, the audit landscape is particularly complex. Our experience in these areas means we know what to look for, what’s required, and how to deliver it with minimal disruption to your team.
How we work
We take a supportive, efficient, and down-to-earth approach. You’ll work directly with a senior auditor who knows your sector and communicates clearly.
We use secure digital tools to streamline evidence gathering and reduce admin, while taking the time to understand your structure, your risks, and your people. Our recommendations are always practical, relevant, and based on real-world understanding of not-for-profit operations.
