Build a defensible internal audit & assurance system

Systematic monitoring & evaluation anchored by internal audit.

Under the 2025 SRTO, regulators expect providers to demonstrate active, systematic monitoring & evaluation. Internal audit forms the backbone of assurance. This is now the #1 area of non-compliance identified by ASQA (as publicly predicted in 2024 by our presenter!).

The Full Series Includes...

  25x structured virtual internal audit sessions with one of Australia’s most qualified & experienced VET expert auditors 

  Ongoing replays (Unlimited time period)

+ Takeaways!

  vetr's Quality, Monitoring & Evaluation Pack (100+ tools & templates for self-assurance)

  Tailored, risk-based Internal Audit Schedule for systematic evaluation

 50% discount! for VET PD Series subscribers - Use your Voucher Code when registering!

 

The Internal Audit Series is a 12-month, structured internal audit program delivering practical, facilitated audits across all core VET operating functions.

✔ Systematic, scheduled internal audits
✔ Covers all operating functions, not just delivery
✔ Standards & best practice aligned audit tools included
✔ Focuses on evidence, controls & outcomes
✔ Builds organisational assurance over time
✔ Designed to stand up in an ASQA audit

This series creates a living assurance framework, not a filing cabinet.

Are you doing the one-off annual audit?

✖ Narrow compliance focus
✖ Policy-heavy, practice-light
✖ Limited follow-up
✖ Little executive visibility
✖ Weak evidence of monitoring & evaluation

• Evidence required listing prior to the session
• Audit scope & regulator expectations
