Audit: verification or certification?
0109 is a verification group. If every group you register for is a verification group, you have the lighter verification audit, usually a desktop review against the Verification Module. Add any certification group and your whole registration becomes a certification audit. See verification vs certification audits and how the NDIS audit works.
