Audits form an integral part of a privacy compliance program and are generally conducted when preparing to implement privacy policies and strategies or when reviewing existing policies and procedures. An audit should be a formal process carried out by management and should target appropriate office bearers who are in a position to be aware of relevant procedures and practices within an organisation.

Privacy Law Consulting Australia can assist clients in the preparation, conduct and analyses of privacy audits to ensure that:

• they are conducted efficiently;

• they target appropriate areas of an organisation; and

• areas of high risk are identified.
