Independent SMSF audits

All Australian self managed super funds are required by law to be audited on an annual basis.  As an independent SMSF auditor we ensure you tick all the legal checkboxes, plus we offer our clients almost 20 years of SMSF experience. This ensures that your self managed super fund is audited by someone who is deeply knowledgable and up to date with even the most complex SMSF compliance regulations.

Trustees need to ensure that their SMSF auditor is registered with ASIC and is independent, meaning that they have no financial interest in the super fund nor any relationship with the fund’s members or trustees. The accountant who handles your SMSF’s accounting and tax cannot be responsible for the audit either.

Easy Super provides specialist SMSF auditing services to both trustees and accountants who require an independent audit. Our services are quick and our expertise gives you confidence that your audit is in good hands.

SMSF Audits: Frequently Asked Questions

Click to read more.

A SMSF audit is the compulsory annual audit of a Self Managed Super Fund which must be conducted by a registered SMSF auditor. The auditor checks that your fund is compliant with superannuation rules and notifies the trustees and ATO of any non-compliance issues.

The only person who can legally audit a SMSF is an approved SMSF auditor registered with ASIC.

ASIC will check the auditor’s education, knowledge and experience and once approved, they’ll list the approved auditor on their website.

SMSF auditors have to be independent, meaning that they cannot be a family relative or have any personal or business relation to the SMSF client.

The cost to audit a SMSF ranges between AU $400 and AU $999. Our fees at Easy Super start from $400 (plus GST).

Yes. Even if you don’t have contributions for the year, your SMSF still needs to be audited. If you don’t have any benefits paid in the financial year, a SMSF audit is still necessary.

Also note that the ATO requires trustees to appoint a SMSF auditor 45 days before the due date of your annual tax return lodgement.

If there are non-compliance issues with your SMSF, the auditor will need to work with the trustee or accountant responsible to fix any problems. Typically, your auditor will explain the issues and what needs to be done to reach compliance.

The ATO requires the SMSF auditors to report non-compliance. To avoid any problems with your super be honest and open with your auditor. Their expertise will ensure the accuracy of your audit and help you avoid any penalties for non-compliance.

No, even if the SMSF is registered for GST, GST on Audit fees can not be claimed. 

Yes, the auditor will check if the Investment Strategy is compliant with Reg. 4.09. In recent years the ATO has paid special attention to the Investment Strategy of a SMSF. 

There are very strong rules governing self managed superannuation funds. At Easy Super we’ll conduct a thorough audit of your superfund and upon completion, provide you with a SMSF audit report and management letter.

Gary Wakely
SMSF Trustee

We have been working with Natalia at Easy Super for a couple of years and have found her service to be excellent. Natalia understands the complexities of the new Superannuation Rules which are forever changing and becoming more complex. For this reason we chose to outsource our superannuation funds administration to Natalia as she is able to maintain a very high standard of results which are always on time. Furthermore Natalia is here and not overseas where confidentiality is not always maintained.

Chris Coote, Christopher Coote & Co

I have been using Easy Super for over 4 years managing our superfund’s tax affairs. I found Natalia approachable and reliable; she provides a personal and professional service. She is a superb communicator and she can answer my trickiest questions. and explain various SMSF tax related issues in a meaningful, non-technical way which allows me to understand the concepts. The Easy Super staff is highly educated in SMSF field. I always receive a prompt response to any query. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for an accountant to handle their Self Managed Super Fund accounting and tax.

Easy Super has been supporting our SMSF compliance services with exceptional SMSF audit services and advice for over two years. It’s very rare these days to be able to say that you are happy a subcontractor’s price, quality and service. We are more than happy.

Troy Wink
Director, VBD Business, Tax & Wealth advisers

I have been a client of Easy Super for over 3 years. The first thing that impressed me about the services of Easy Super is how everything was done for me and all I had to do was read and sign professionally prepared set of documents and I was off on my way of having an SMSF. From then on the advice I sought and received was sound, practical, professional and always prompt. Natalia’s focus on putting your needs first means that not only she provides professional and tailored service, she also recommends other experts who meet her strict criteria. Additionally, the fees she charges and the fees of other experts she engages are extremely competitive which is important when starting out a SMSF as the initial and ongoing costs can be quiet high and quickly add up. I recommend Natalia’s services to anyone who has or is looking to have a SMSF.
