ACNC Charity Audit Melbourne

Melbourne-based registered charities 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. Whether you're a community service, arts organisation, religious charity, or advocacy group based in Melbourne, finding a local auditor who understands charity accounting standards (AASB 1060), governance, and ACNC compliance is essential. AuditLink connects Melbourne charities 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 Melbourne 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 Melbourne charities runs from August to November, so posting your job in July ensures you avoid the December deadline rush.

What Does a ACNC Charity Audit Cost in 2025?

ACNC charity audit fees in Melbourne typically range from $2,000 to $5,000 based on your charity's size, complexity, and financial reporting framework. Small to medium Melbourne 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+. Melbourne 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 Melbourne auditors.

Why Clients Hate Doing This Themselves

Most Melbourne charity boards and treasurers find the audit process overwhelming. You need a local auditor who understands not-for-profit accounting, Victorian charity regulations, and ACNC compliance. Many commercial auditors charge premium rates because they lack charity expertise, or worse, miss critical compliance issues. Then there's the time sink: chasing auditors for quotes, waiting weeks for proposals, and dealing with scope creep when surprise fees appear. Melbourne volunteers already stretched thin don't have time for this.
