Our Church Audit Process

All Catholic organisations must adhere to the National Catholic Safeguarding Standards. Indeed, a risk-based application of the Standards has been created to guarantee a proportionate response in recognition of the variety of governance and organisational structures found across Catholic entities. The steps to execute the audit procedure are as follows:

  • Preparation for the upcoming audit
  • Comprehending every activity
  • Deciding and assuring audit scope
  • Organising meeting
  • Executing audit fieldwork
  • End meeting
  • Publishing reports
  • Attestation of agreed-upon management measures.

Risk Management Services

Our risk management experts provide governance and risk mitigation services to the church and its affiliated agencies. Nonetheless, their internal audit services help congregations and presbyteries carry out their duties by giving unbiased directions on financial and non-financial risk management. Our comprehensive strategy examines governance, financial management, compliance, and other crucial areas to guarantee strong internal controls and risk reduction.

ACSL Certification

Our dedication to quality and continuous improvement will benefit your religious institution by procuring valuable recommendations to enhance your procedures and systems. As a result, your organisation, which works with vulnerable persons and children, can prove that its procedures, policies, and culture are continuously safe and eligible for ACSL certification. However, we emphasise comprehending safety from the viewpoint of the children and teens who work for your organisation.

To consider the variations in the size, composition, and complexity of Church institutions, ACSL is currently improving our audit and review system. So, our risk-based strategy will serve as the foundation for certification standards, which include:

  • Self-Evaluation and Validation
  • Validation and Peer Review
  • External Verification and Audit
  • Audit of ACSL
  • Review of ACSL

Consequently, your religious organisations will have partnered with ACSL for three years to encourage ongoing improvement, incorporate new legal requirements and emerging best practices, and monitor the certification requirements.
