Audit-ready by design
Answer compliance questions in minutes, not days. Risk register, evidence chains, board packs, and comprehensive audit trails built into the operational system.
The problem
Compliance questions come with short deadlines: "How many clients did we support last quarter?" "Show evidence for deliverable 3.2." "Who accessed this client record in November?"
Evidence scattered
Data lives in spreadsheets, emails, and case notes. Reconstructing proof takes days of manual work.
No audit trail
You can't prove who did what when. Privacy audits, FOI requests, or safeguarding reviews become high-stress events.
Board reporting is manual
Every board meeting means hours of spreadsheet wrangling to produce summary reports.
The Compliance & Reporting module builds accountability into daily operations: capture evidence as work happens, track access automatically, generate reports on demand.
Four pillars of audit readiness
Evidence chain
Link activities to funding deliverables, cases to outcomes, programs to participant numbers. Prove what you delivered.
Risk register
Record risks, assign likelihood/impact ratings, define mitigations, track ownership. Link risks to cases or programs for context.
Board-ready reports
Dashboards that update automatically. Service volume, client demographics, risk summaries, funding utilisation—ready for the board pack.
Audit trails
Who viewed this record? Who changed this field? When was consent withdrawn? Every action logged with timestamp and user.
Evidence chain for funders
How funding agreements link to proof of delivery
Every activity and outcome is traceable back to the funding agreement. Acquittal reports pull data automatically from the operational system.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of reports can we generate?
Client demographics, service delivery outputs, program outcomes, funding utilisation, risk summaries, and board-level dashboards. All reports are configurable to your specific requirements and can be automated for regular distribution.
How does the risk register work?
Record identified risks, assess likelihood and impact, define mitigation strategies, assign ownership, and track progress. Link risks to cases, programs, or compliance issues for traceability.
Can we track who accessed or changed sensitive data?
Yes. The audit trail records who viewed, created, or modified records and when. Field-level change tracking shows what specific information was altered, critical for privacy compliance and accountability.
Does this replace our compliance management system?
It depends on your requirements. This module provides operational data governance, evidence capture, risk management, and reporting. For specialised compliance frameworks (ISO, NDIS audits), it may complement rather than replace dedicated tools.
Can we export data for external auditors?
Yes. Data can be exported to Excel, PDF, or other formats. Audit trails can be filtered by date range, user, or record type to provide specific evidence requested by auditors.
