Institutional advisory

Turn priorities into work
your team can deliver.

Review audit findings, strengthen performance and prepare better-supported funding decisions, with practical handover in the agreed scope.

Start with a public-record review

Start with proof, not a proposal.

Start with published information. For suitable institutions with sufficient published information, we offer a free diagnostic, typically up to 10 pages, from your published record - audit outcomes, IDP, SDBIP, annual report - and present it to you in a working session, at no cost.

You’ll see our method applied to your published findings before you commit. Recommendations are validated with your team; an audit outcome cannot be guaranteed.

NO CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENTS NEEDED · PUBLISHED RECORDS ONLY

No obligation

What the diagnostic gives you

  • Published findings mapped to likely root causes for validation
  • Your indicators tested against the standards the Auditor-General applies
  • Three prioritised interventions to strengthen your next reporting cycle
  • A straight answer on whether you need us at all
Request the diagnostic

We confirm eligibility, available documents, scope and timing before starting. Internal evidence verification, implementation and specialist advice require a separate agreed engagement. No audit outcome is guaranteed.

When the findings warrant action

Fixed scopes. Published bands. Skills in the contract.

Institutional advisory engagements have defined deliverables and handover requirements. Business system assessments follow a separate scope.

Audit pressure

A private starting check

Five questions about your evidence.

Your answers stay on this page. This check prompts discussion; it does not determine compliance or an audit outcome.

1. Can every reported achievement be traced to dated supporting evidence?
2. Are your indicators well-defined, verifiable and reliable?
3. Does your SDBIP clearly trace to your approved IDP?
4. Does each finding have an owner, deadline and recorded closure evidence?
5. Could your team continue the agreed work after external support ends?
Answer the five questions to identify areas for review.
