September 28th is #AuditorProud day, so we asked our staff what makes them proud to be an Auditor.
Auditing is often seen as a technical discipline, but at its core, it is driven by people. At National Audits Group, we see #AuditorProud Day as an opportunity to reflect on what it means to be an auditor and to highlight the impact our team has on clients, businesses and the wider community. It is also a moment to share auditor news and recognise the people behind the profession.
Why #AuditorProud Day Matters
#AuditorProud Day remains an important opportunity to reflect on the role auditors play and the impact they have across businesses and communities.
- Recognise auditor contributions — Acknowledge the role auditors play in supporting accurate reporting and informed decision-making.
- Reinforce professional values — Highlight the importance of integrity, accountability and continuous improvement in audit work.
- Share real experiences — Provide a platform for auditors to express what they value about their role and daily work.
- Showcase career opportunities — Emphasise the variety, challenge and purpose that come with a career in audit.
- Encourage future talent — Promote the profession to the next generation of auditors and attract new talent.

Celebrating #AuditorProud Day at National Audits Group
Each year, #AuditorProud Day provides an opportunity to recognise the contribution of auditors and reflect on the value they bring to businesses and the broader community, while celebrating auditing as a profession that continues to evolve.
In 2018, the National Audits Group team took time to reflect on what they enjoy most about the audit profession. A consistent theme emerged: the satisfaction of helping clients improve the reliability of their reporting and supporting better business outcomes.
In 2019, the team continued the celebration by sharing what they value most about auditing. The day was marked with team activities, including morning teas and group photos, creating a shared moment for everyone to recognise their role and contribution.
In 2020, the theme #AuditInAction reflected the challenges faced by businesses during the COVID-19 period. It highlighted the role of auditors in supporting clients through uncertainty and change. To mark the occasion, National Audits Group introduced its office mascots, Morgan the NAG Bear in Wagga and Alfred the Audit Bear in Sydney, bringing a lighter and more engaging element to the celebration.
