How does it work?

How to choose an SMSF auditor

Choosing an SMSF auditor for your business can be a valuable business decision, so we’ve put together a list of questions to consider.

Perhaps the best question you can ask. Does the auditor have a clear understanding of how to create value for your business? Does the auditor have the experience and technical knowledge to ensure the audit process is relevant and of value to you and your clients?

Are your audits being performed by qualified SMSF audit professionals you can easily speak to? The ability to communicate directly with your auditor is vital in building a long-term trusting relationship.

It’s only natural that someone who specialises solely in SMSF audits will have a more in-depth technical knowledge and greater experience in dealing with the complex issues that can arise. A true SMSF audit specialist will have experience auditing a wide range of SMSF strategies, so you don’t have to waste your time educating the auditor.

The best predictor of future performance is past performance. Experience, reputation and references are important to consider.

If a breach does occur, you want to know your auditor will do everything in their power to help you rectify it, no matter who is at fault.

Regular quality control reviews give you peace of mind that the auditor takes audit quality seriously. When did the auditor last submit to a quality control review, and have they maintained their professional indemnity insurance?

It might sound obvious, but it’s often assumed and not checked. Only an ASIC Registered SMSF Auditor has the training and accreditation you can rely on.

Finally (though it’s often asked first), you need to know the cost. The real cost with no hidden surprises! You should consider what kind of fee structure is best for your business and your clients. For example, a fixed fee structure gives you and your clients certainty.
