Compliance Engine

Built-In Compliance Intelligence

ExaRDTI’s compliance engine checks your claim in real time against current ATO and AusIndustry requirements. Issues are flagged before submission — not after — helping to strengthen your claim and improve audit readiness.

Four-Part Test Assessment

Every R&D activity is automatically assessed against the legislated four-part eligibility test. The compliance engine checks that each activity involves a systematic progression of work, proceeds from hypothesis to experiment, is conducted for the purpose of generating new knowledge, and involves outcome uncertainty that could not be determined in advance. Activities that do not clearly meet all four criteria are flagged for review.

AusIndustry Guideline Alignment

Documentation is validated against current AusIndustry guidance, including requirements for describing core activities, supporting activities, and the relationship between them. The engine checks that technical narratives use appropriate language and structure, and that claims are consistent with published AusIndustry examples and assessment criteria.

Expenditure Validation

The compliance engine cross-references expenditure claims against ATO rules for eligible R&D expenditure. This includes checking that staff costs are correctly apportioned based on time spent on eligible activities, that contractor expenditure meets the requirements for R&D services, and that overhead allocations use an acceptable methodology.

Continuous Updates

The compliance engine is updated as ATO and AusIndustry guidance changes. When new rulings, determinations, or policy updates are issued, ExaRDTI’s compliance rules are revised accordingly. We aim to keep your claims validated against the most current requirements.

Strong Audit Track Record

To date, ExaRDTI has maintained a clean audit record across claims processed through the platform. The combination of automated compliance checking and expert consultant review is designed to thoroughly validate claims before lodgement. Past performance is not a guarantee of future outcomes.
