The ACN is generated using an algorithm and the last digit is a check digit, allowing the number to be verified.

The ABN is generated using an algorithm where the first two digits are used as a check digit.

The last 9 digits of the ABN do not always conform to the ASIC ACN algorithm, for example the Australian Taxation Office ABN 51 824 753 556.
