    Reduce the COVID-19 risks of delivering SMSF audit and compliance services

    Navigating the raft of COVID-19 related changes presents a new set of challenges for SMSF auditors; even a small oversight or lack of procedural integrity can prove costly.

    In addition to the COVID-19 related impacts, we’ll also take you through:

    • Updated ATO advice on SMSF valuation requirements and what is acceptable
    • Auditor independence and the changes to APES 110 - including the ATOs compliance approach
    • Business real property and related party lease arrangements
    • Total super balance and what it means for an auditor
    • Updated ACR guidelines and 2020 Audit report

    If you want to be certain about your audit and compliance procedures, join us for this pragmatic online workshop.

    Designed for SMSF auditors and advisers, the SMSF Audit & Compliance Workshop brings you up to date with recent developments and what they mean to SMSF auditors and advisers right now, what you can expect to see, and what to do about it.

    Prepare to be challenged.

    An excellent training day for team members or a refresher to keep you on top of change.
