Audit Process
How the ICAC audit works
ICAC follows a structured, evidence-based methodology that balances accountability, regulatory compliance, and mission integrity.
Step 1
Application Intake
Charities submit documentation, governance materials, and financial statements.
Step 2
Evidence Review
ICAC auditors verify operational, legal, and Sharia compliance requirements.
Step 3
Field Assessment
On-site or virtual assessments confirm program delivery and stewardship.
Step 4
Certification Panel
An independent panel issues a certification decision and publishes findings.
Step 5
Annual Renewal
Certifications expire annually and require updated reviews to remain valid.
