What Is a Mock Audit? (And Why Every NDIS Provider Should Do One)
NDIS audits can be stressful and costly—especially if issues come up unexpectedly. A mock audit is a smart, proactive way to identify and fix compliance gaps before your official audit.
What Is a Mock Audit?
A mock audit is a simulated version of an official NDIS certification or verification audit. It replicates the audit process, but without the pressure of a pass/fail outcome.
At Ethospoint, we act as your compliance partner—reviewing your systems, policies, records, and processes against the NDIS Practice Standards to ensure you're prepared.
What Does a Mock Audit Include?
✅ Policy and procedure review
✅ Incident documentation and complaints register checks
✅ File and participant record spot checks
✅ Staff training and HR documentation review
✅ A clear Gap Analysis Report with practical recommendations
✅ Optional feedback session with your leadership or compliance team
Why Do a Mock Audit?
Mock audits help you:
Identify compliance risks early
Avoid costly non-conformities or sanctions
Build staff readiness and audit confidence
Reduce costs from re-audits or Corrective Action Plans (CAPs)
When Should You Do One?
2–3 months before your scheduled audit
After any major operational change (e.g., new service, restructure, or key staff turnover)
Following critical incidents or complaints
When unsure about your compliance or documentation standards
