“We hold a government funding contract”

Funding contract compliance

Funding contracts carry their own rules on top of the Standards. We help you win them, keep them, and pass the audits that come with them.

Programs we work with

  • NSW Smart and Skilled, including applications and contract audits
  • ACT funding agreements, including Skilled Capital and Australian Apprenticeships
  • Group Training Organisation (GTO) compliance
  • Apprenticeship and traineeship contract compliance

Contract audits

We review your practice against the contract, its schedules and guidelines, using a structured sample of units and student files. You receive a report identifying low, medium and high risks of non-compliance, the evidence sighted, the rationale for each finding and mitigation strategies, followed by a briefing for your team.

Contract reviews can be combined with benchmarking against the Standards, so you cover both in one engagement.

Applications

We help providers prepare funding applications and the systems that sit behind them, so you're ready to meet the contract from day one.

How we work

Every engagement starts with an agreed scope and a fixed budget. You get findings and advice you can act on, and a debrief with your team.

Questions

Can you combine a funding audit with a Standards audit?

Yes. An integrated audit covers the Standards and the funding contract together, which saves time for your staff.

Do you work with GTOs as well as RTOs?

Yes. We work with group training organisations on their compliance obligations as well as with RTOs.
