2026 Transparency Report

Audit and assurance play a vital role in protecting confidence in corporate reporting, supporting resilient capital markets and serving the public interest. Our profession continues to experience significant change, shaped by global uncertainty, evolving stakeholder expectations and rapid technological advancement. In this environment, trust and integrity matter more than ever. 


We thank our people and Partners for delivering high-quality audit and assurance engagements throughout FY26, underpinned by their commitment to integrity and serving the public interest. Their skill and professionalism underpin the trust placed in our work. We are proud that this year we once again delivered consistently strong quality outcomes, as demonstrated by our internal inspection results. 

Our Transparency Report sets out how our people, values, governance and processes work together to protect trust, uphold integrity and support consistent high-quality outcomes. While we are proud of what we have achieved, we never take quality for granted and remain committed to continuous improvement as we prepare our practice for what comes next.

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.

We recognise that people have commitments, priorities and interests both inside and outside of work.

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.
