2026 Transparency Report

Deloitte’s unwavering commitment to quality.

Our commitment to quality is reflected in our culture and the way we deliver A&A services. We continue to strengthen our system of quality management through strong governance, investment in our people, and the development of innovative tools and technologies that support high-quality outcomes. As stakeholder expectations continue to evolve, maintaining a relentless focus on quality is fundamental to fulfilling our public interest responsibilities and supporting confidence in the corporate reporting ecosystem.

Strengthening A&A quality through AI-enabled innovation
A modern audit

Deloitte A&A is advancing with purpose as we execute our digital transformation strategy, and in a landscape defined by rapid technological development, our focus remains on delivering high-quality engagements. Responsible innovation is fundamental to this approach; we seek to capture technological opportunities while maintaining the centrality of professional judgment, integrity, and trust. 

Technology and AI are integral to the way Deloitte A&A delivers a modern audit. At the centre of our approach is Deloitte Omnia, a globally connected digital audit platform that brings together our professionals, data, analytics and AI-enabled capabilities in a secure, transparent and collaborative environment. 

Working in Audit at Deloitte

 In FY26 we welcomed 91 experienced hires, 161 graduates and 81 vacationers to our Audit practice. Our audit workforce comprised 1,271 professionals at year-end, supported by a strong culture of engagement and inclusion. According to our latest Engage Survey (November 2025), 84% of our audit workforce are proud to work at Deloitte Australia and 90% feel they are treated with respect at work. 

At Deloitte, our people are empowered to build careers that combine professional growth, personal purpose and meaningful impact. Supported by the scale and reach of the world’s largest professional services firm, they have access to global experiences, leading development opportunities, innovative technologies and diverse pathways that enable them to realise their potential and shape their own career journey.

We recognise that people have commitments, priorities and interests both inside and outside of work. That’s why we offer a range of initiatives designed to support our people at every stage of life and career, including flexible ways of working, family support programs, wellbeing resources, additional leave options and recognition programs. Through initiatives such as Deloitte Families, DeloitteFlex, PlaceFlex, Recharge Leave, Purchased Leave, the Wellbeing Hub and Fitness Passport, we help our people balance work with the things that matter most to them, while building sustainable and rewarding careers.

We work hard to continuously maintain and strengthen Deloitte’s reputation for trust, integrity and professional competence.

 We focus on setting the right tone from the top in our conduct and culture. This is supported by strong governance; rigorous and robust monitoring systems, controls and safeguards; and our culture of ‘doing the right thing even when no one is looking’. We are never complacent and recognise the importance of continually reinforcing the behaviours and expectations that underpin quality, integrity and trust.

Our trusted brand is at the heart of our ability to support clients. Deloitte Australia applies Deloitte Global Independence policies that address quality objectives and
quality risks as they relate to the relevant ethical requirements for independence.
