AudityourSuperfund has always promoted Independence as an SMSF Auditor. The ATO and ASIC are continuing to enforce this. Here's an old advert we ran years ago.

The ATO has warned that where #SMSF firms enter reciprocal auditing arrangements with other audit firms, these auditors will be at risk of breaching their independence requirements ow.ly/YwII50BwhRM

We're all busy and dealing with a variety of challenges in this almost surreal Covid-world at the moment. If you're registered with the ACNC then please ensure your comply with your review/audit arrangements and make sure you provide ACNC with your Annual Information Statements.

Independent SMSF Auditors have only relatively recently known which funds are purporting to have been audited by us. Thanks to TPB in strengthening credibility in the SMSF Sector, in dealing with people lodging fraudulent returns:bit.ly/35G21t1

AudityourSuperfund found only a couple of all of our clients had discrepancies with our audit dates and their reported audit dates. They related to not updating their pre-filled annual return & will ensure it doesn't happen going fwd. Get it right and avoid ATO/ASIC scrutiny.

We are pleased to announce two new Directors. Paul Gardner and Belinda Schutz have worked in the McLaren Vale office for most of their careers and bring a huge amount of experience. We now have a team of 60 people in 2 offices including 13 Directors. accruharrisorchard.com.au/people/

We welcome Jenny Boroughs to the firm today, as our new CFO. Jenny joins us at a time of substantial growth at Accru Harris Orchard and will manage the operations, administration and finance functions within the firm. Great to have you on board, Jenny!

Make sure you have your SMSF Audits lodged on time! The ATO see late lodgement as a red flag for other non-compliance issues (early release, contraventions, poor governance etc). Communicate to your clients the importance of this or they could attract some unwanted attention.
