Announcement re SMSF Audit Independence

Are you ready for APESB changes?

Significant changes have been introduced by the (APESB) about the limitation of services an SMSF Auditor can provide. The APES 110 guide states that “An SMSF Auditor cannot conduct an Audit on a set of Special Purpose Financial Statements where the auditor, staff for the auditor or staff of the firm have prepared the Financial Statements for that SMSF“. Meaning that several firms that conduct audits in-house may require significant changes to their business models.
