What Is a Mock Audit? (And Why Every NDIS Provider Should Do One)

Consultant

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
