This policy outlines how we manage personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).This Privacy Policy (the ‘Policy’) sets out how Audit 123 (‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’) explains the types of information we may collect from and about you or your organisation, how we may use or disclose that information, and how we protect that information.
What Personal Information do we collect?
We collect personal information about you, your organisation, and other individuals
(such as clients, employees as part of providing business services) when you use our
services. This information includes, but is not limited to:
- Contact Information (e.g., name, phone number, address, email address)

- Financial information (e.g. income, credits, deductions, expenses and bank account
information)

We collect and hold a broad range of personal information during the course of providing our
services. However, we strive to ensure that we collect and hold only that personal
information which is relevant and necessary in order to operate our audit practice.
How we collect your personal information
Personal Information is obtained in many ways including when you interact with us
electronically or in person; through the use of our standard forms; via our
website www.audit123.com.au; from your website and when we provide our services to you.
Generally, we will collect personal information directly from you. Sometimes it may be
necessary for us to collect your personal information from a third party, or from a publicly
available source. We will only collect personal information this way where you have
consented or you would reasonably expect us to collect personal information in that way, or if
it is necessary for a specific purpose in the delivery of our services.
Using and disclosing your Personal Information
We use your information to conduct the audits you request. We collect your personal information for any one or more of the following reasons:
- To evaluate, effect, manage and administer the services provided by us.
- To assist with your queries.
- Facilitating our internal business operations, including the fulfilment of any legal
obligations and analysing our services and client needs with a view to developing new
and/or improved services.
- Communications with relevant regulatory bodies.
Audit 123 does not provide personal information to other organisations, agencies or anyone
else unless one of the following applies:
- The person has consented.
- The person would reasonably expect, or has been told, that information of that kind is
usually passed to those individuals, bodies or agencies.
- It is required by law or is necessary to protect the rights or property of Audit 123 or any
other individual.
- In other circumstances permitted by the Australian Privacy Principles (e.g. if the
disclosure is reasonably necessary for law enforcement purposes).
- The disclosure is to a service provider or advisor retained by Audit 123 and is necessary
in order to assist Audit 123 to provide services to you.
- Our files may be subject to review as part of the quality control review program of CPA
Australia which monitors members’ compliance with professional standards.
Security of Personal Information
Your Personal Information is stored in a manner that reasonably protects it from misuse and
loss and from unauthorized access, modification or disclosure.
In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical,
electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure information and protect it
from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.
The transmission and exchange of information is carried out at your own risk. We cannot
guarantee the security of any information that you transmit to us, or receive from us.
Although we take measures to safeguard against unauthorised disclosures of information, we
cannot assure you that personal information that we collect will not be disclosed in a manner
that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.
Personal information is retained only for as long as required to meet legal, regulatory and professional obligations.
Access and correct your personal information.
You have the right to access your own personal information held by us, and where this is
incorrect, to request that we correct the information.
