Frequently Asked Questions
What are internal audits?
Internal audits are independent evaluations of an organisation’s operations, governance and risk management processes. They are conducted by qualified and certified internal auditors who bring objectivity and professional expertise to every engagement. Unlike external audits, which typically occur annually, internal audits can be scheduled on a recurring or project-specific basis depending on the organisation’s needs.
At National Audits Group, we provide internal audit services that go beyond compliance. Our team assesses internal controls, reviews adherence to policies and regulations and identifies areas where performance, efficiency, and governance can be improved. By tailoring the scope and frequency of audits to each client, we deliver practical recommendations that strengthen systems, support accountability, and build long-term organisational resilience.

Our commitment is to ensure our audits are tailored to your organisation’s unique circumstances, providing insights and assurance that are relevant and valuable to your operations.
Internal audits are valuable for both public and private sector organisations. National Audits Group collaborates with government agencies, councils, corporations, and not-for-profits to enhance efficiency, mitigate risks, and establish robust governance frameworks. We have experience spanning various sectors, including local government, education, healthcare, aged care, professional services, retail, and financial services, allowing us to tailor our services to meet the specific needs of each organisation.
How do you ensure compliance in your audits?
- Understanding Your Obligations: We start by identifying the laws, standards, or frameworks relevant to your organisation and aligning our audit approach to address these requirements.
- Risk-Based Focus: We evaluate key risks associated with your compliance obligations and tailor our audit procedures to ensure these areas are thoroughly addressed.
- Thorough Assessment: Our audits involve detailed analysis and testing to evaluate how your organisation aligns with applicable requirements, whether financial, operational, or compliance related.
- Clear Communication: Throughout the audit, we maintain open dialogue, providing insights and clarity into how our procedures respond to your compliance needs.
- Independent Opinion: We provide an independent, professional assessment tailored to the nature of the audit. This assessment offers valuable assurance to stakeholders regarding the organisation’s adherence to relevant requirements.
What is your process for conducting an audit?
At National Audits Group, our audit process is thorough, collaborative, and focused on delivering meaningful outcomes. Our focus is on building understanding, addressing risks, and delivering audit results that not only meet compliance requirements but also provide valuable insights for your organisation.
Here’s how we approach each engagement:
Understanding Your Organisation:
We start by learning about your organisation—its purpose, operations, and the people leading and managing it. This ensures our work is informed by a clear understanding of your organisation’s environment and operations.
Performing Risk Assessments:
We identify and evaluate key risks specific to your organisation to ensure we focus on areas of significance and importance.
Developing a Tailored Audit Plan:
Using the insights gained from our risk assessment, we design a tailored audit plan that addresses the specific operations and risks of your organisation.
Executing the Audit:
Our team carries out a thorough assessment based on the tailored audit plan, focusing on the key areas identified during the risk assessment. Throughout the process, we maintain open communication to ensure clarity, understanding, and a smooth progression of the engagement.
Concluding and Reporting:
We provide clear and comprehensive findings, ensuring any matters reported are fully explained and understood. We take the time to guide you through the results, offering insights into the reports and their implications to foster clarity and confidence in the outcomes. Communication remains central to this process, ensuring your questions are addressed and you feel supported every step of the way.
Do you provide internal audit services for both one-off reviews and ongoing programs?
Yes. National Audits Group can deliver internal audits as a standalone review of a specific area, such as compliance, cybersecurity, or fraud risk, or as part of a structured ongoing audit program. This flexibility allows organisations to address immediate concerns while also building a long-term framework for governance and risk management.
