Reports: Audit report
The audit report provides an 'at a glance' view of all students evidence tallies, and the spread of NCCD implementation categories (Assessment, Consultation, Provided and Monitored). This report can be accessed by auditors, internal staff or executive staff needing a live tally of NCCD data.
Using the audit report
Steps
- Select a Reporting Year
- Order by Weeks collected by selecting Weeks collected column heading
- Order by NCCD category by selecting Assessment, Consultation, Provided and Monitored column headings
- Select a student for NCCD data on student
Viewing as an auditor
The audit report acts as a school ledger of all students included in the NCCD program for the selected reporting year. Selecting each student row will display detailed information on that student.
Working with the evidence log
The Student Evidence record will show student's declared Disability category, Adjustment level and Evidence log. The Evidence log will show detailed information on each evidence record:
- Recorded date: When the evidence was recorded. Note this date is the timestamp of the school staff member recording evidence, and will typically be after the event
- Evidence type: What category of evidence was recorded, and does this evidence correlate to a student's Individual Education Plans (IEP)
- Location: Was the evidence recorded against a class/event in the past, and is there a file attachment to be used as evidence:
- Recorded by: Who recorded the evidence.
Note
Only staff members with audit reporting privileges will be able to view audit data.
The IEP module is an add-on module for schools requiring integration with Individual Education Plans (IEP) and recording adjustments.
Renaming NCCD categories
When the NCCD language is too verbose or not approriate for the school environment, you can take control.
Many schools provide adjustment evidence using the wording as specified by the NCCD program. JUNIPA also allows school to use their own wording when providing adjustments, as the NCCD language may not be appropriate as staff are providing adjustments on-the-fly.
If a school uses their own NCCD adjustment evidence wording, each evidence group and item will be linked to an NCCD approved category. This ensures that, although school staff are seeing different wording, all adjustment evidence gathered is correctly linked to NCCD documentation.

Steps taken
- Navigate to Evidence Setup
- Select Add Evidence Group
- Provide an evidence group name
- Provide an evidence item name
- Link the new evidence item to an NCCD documented evidence type
- Select Save
This new evidence type will now be available for any student requiring adjustments.
Reports: Evidence overview
