ACNC Charity Audit – 3-6 Fixed-Price Quotes

Registered charities in Australia with annual revenue exceeding $250,000 (Medium charities) or $1 million (Large charities) must have their financial statements audited or reviewed by a qualified, independent auditor under ACNC reporting requirements. Finding an auditor who understands charity accounting standards (AASB 1060 or full AASB), governance obligations, and ACNC compliance can be challenging. AuditLink simplifies the process by connecting you with 3-6 experienced charity auditors who provide transparent, fixed-price quotes within 24-48 hours.

Typical Deadlines & Timeframes

Your ACNC charity audit must be completed and submitted to the ACNC within 6 months of your financial year-end. For most charities operating on a 30 June year-end, this means your audited financial statements are due by 31 December. Delay can result in your charity being listed as overdue or potentially having its registration revoked. Peak audit season for charities runs from August to November, so posting your job in July or August ensures you avoid the December crunch and secure better pricing.

What Does a ACNC Charity Audit Cost in 2025?

ACNC charity audit fees range significantly based on your charity's size, complexity, and financial reporting framework. Small to medium charities (revenue $250k-$1M) using simplified reporting typically pay $2,000-$4,500. Larger charities (revenue $1M-$5M) using full AASB standards pay $4,500-$10,000+. Charities with multiple programs, government grants, DGR status, or complex accounting policies will sit at the higher end. Our marketplace allows you to compare quotes from qualified auditors so you're getting fair market value.

Why Clients Hate Doing This Themselves

Most charity boards and treasurers find the audit process overwhelming. You need an auditor who's not just qualified but actually understands the unique requirements of not-for-profit accounting and ACNC compliance. Many commercial auditors quote high prices because they lack charity expertise, or worse, miss critical compliance issues that result in ACNC queries. Then there's the time sink: chasing auditors for quotes, waiting weeks for proposals, and dealing with scope creep when surprise fees appear. Volunteers already stretched thin don't have time for this.
