Contract audits

We audit your practice against the contract, its schedules and guidelines, using a sample of units and student files. The report is risk based. Each finding includes the evidence sighted, our rationale and a strategy to address it. We bring comprehensive and current knowledge of the contract requirements to each audit, and then brief your staff on the outcome.

A contract audit can be combined with an audit against the Standards for RTOs 2025 in a single engagement.

Follow-up audits

A follow-up desk audit reviews the actions you have taken on the findings and the evidence for them. We then update the audit report to show your current position.

Systems for managing compliance

We help you develop and review the policies, procedures, systems and practices you need to manage contract compliance day to day. This covers eligibility, enrolment, training plans, evidence of participation, reporting and record keeping.

Questions

Can a contract audit be combined with a Standards audit?

Yes. An integrated audit covers both, with a separate report for the Standards and for the contract.

Can you help us set up systems to meet the contract?

Yes. We help you develop policies, procedures and practices that meet the contract requirements, and can then conduct follow-up audits to confirm you are applying them correctly.

Do you work with group training organisations?

Yes. We provide audits and advice to GTOs as well as RTOs.
