It depends on your entity type and size. Listed companies, managed investment schemes, financial institutions, large superannuation funds, foreign-owned subsidiaries, and large proprietary companies generally need to lodge audited financial statements with ASIC or an industry regulator. If you are close to a threshold and unsure, call us on 1300 444 004 and we can talk it through.
An external audit is an independent review of your financial statements, usually required by ASIC or another regulator, resulting in a formal audit opinion for shareholders and regulators. An internal audit examines your governance, risk, and control processes and reports findings to your management team and audit committee. External audit is about the numbers. Internal audit is about the systems that produce them.
The primary deliverable is the formal Independent Auditor’s Report. This report states whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the entity’s financial position and performance in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. Auditors also typically issue a Management Letter to the board or audit committee highlighting any identified internal control weaknesses or accounting deficiencies.
A statutory audit under the Corporations Act 2001 must be conducted by an individual or audit company registered as a Registered Company Auditor (RCA) with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). Auditors must adhere strictly to the Australian Auditing Standards (ASAs) set by the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (AUASB) and comply with statutory independence requirements.
An external audit typically spans 1 to 6 weeks of active fieldwork, depending on the size of the entity, complexity of transactions, and readiness of supporting schedules. The process involves four phases: initial planning and risk assessment, interim testing of internal financial controls, year-end substantive testing of balance sheet and profit-and-loss balances, and finalization of the Independent Auditor’s Report prior to statutory lodgement deadlines.
