Audit committee checklist (PDF) + report & discharge template (Word)
Last updated: 28 July 2026 · Version 2026.1
In short
What does the audit committee check?
On behalf of the members it verifies the annual statement: balances matching bank statements, receipts behind expenses, completeness of contribution income and compliance with internal rules. The checklist walks through each step.
The annual audit doesn't have to cost you a weekend. This free kit contains a step-by-step checklist (PDF) for the complete audit — from requesting the records to the discharge advice — plus a fillable report in Word with ready-made texts for the general meeting.
Built for audit committees of associations, foundations, mosques and weekend schools. Updated yearly so references to amounts and rules stay correct.
