Alternative Accounting provides independent audit and assurance — for not-for-profits, charities, trust accounts and funds — led personally by Prellin Chetty, a Registered Company Auditor with 26 years' experience.
A genuine specialism
For many firms, not-for-profit audit is an add-on. For us it is the focus.
That focus means a genuine, working command of the frameworks not-for-profits and charities operate within — the ACNC regime, general and special purpose reporting, and the particular obligations that come with grant funding and ancillary fund status. It is the difference between an auditor who knows the sector and one who is learning it on your engagement.
It also means partner-level attention as standard. When you engage the firm, the audit is led personally by Prellin Chetty — the Registered Company Auditor responsible for the opinion — not delegated down a chain of junior staff. You deal directly with the person accountable for the work.
What we audit
Independence & quality
Every engagement is assessed against the independence requirements of the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards. We accept audit work only where we can act with genuine objectivity.
As a CPA practice, the firm meets the professional, legal and ethical requirements of CPA Australia, with quality processes applied to every audit.
The practice carries professional indemnity insurance appropriate to the audit and assurance work it undertakes.
Auditing and assurance standards evolve continually. Ongoing professional education keeps the practice's methodology up to date.
The auditor
Prellin Chetty is a CPA with 26 years in the profession and a Registered Company Auditor. His audit career began well before Alternative Accounting — as Audit Manager for a mid-tier firm in Sydney, and earlier with KPMG in South Africa and revenue authorities in two countries. Today that experience is focused on the not-for-profit and SME sectors, and on ACNC reporting.
