The
DAA Group Client Managers have combined, more than
twenty-seven years of hands-on experience in managing audit
reporting systems. This extensive experience combined with our
external accreditation gives confidence that audit reports
will accurately reflect service standards.
For
MoH Certification reports submitted by The DAA Group, as a
Designated Audit Agency, our extensive experience gives
confidence that our audit reports will contain sufficient
information to enable the Director General of Health to make
an accurate and fully informed decision regarding
certification of provider organizations.
Towards the end of 2004, the DAA Group was one of
five DAA's to be audited by the Ministry of Health together
with an Australian Audit Company. The DAA Group was selected
for audit because we were one of the audit agencies to have
completed the most Ministry of Health Certification audits.
The external audit by the Ministry of Health showed detail and
consistency in our reporting. Ministry of Health feed back has
included that our reports give them confidence in the audit
and they trust our services.
