July 16 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm AEST
Bryce Figot of DBA Lawyers has advised and represented numerous approved SMSF auditors who are being audited and investigated by the ATO and ASIC.
Bryce will present what to expect from ATO audits and how to best prepare for them.
If all goes well in an ATO audit of an SMSF auditor, the ATO may close their file. However, if the ATO is not satisfied, the ATO might refer the SMSF auditor to ASIC. ASIC then has the power to impose various different outcomes, including public disqualification, suspension or imposing conditions on the auditor’s registration. Accordingly, there is tremendous importance in satisfying the ATO’s inquiries thoroughly and properly in a timely manner.
Bryce has picked up various practical ‘tips’ and ‘traps’ while working for SMSF auditors being audited by the ATO over the years. These practical tips and traps are invaluable for ALL professionals working with SMSFs.
With this knowledge, an SMSF auditor will be far better placed to promptly deal with an ATO review or audit.
These tips and traps cover:
- What SMSF auditors should be doing NOW … long before any ATO audit
- What prompt action you should take when first alerted to an ATO review or audit of your audit files
- Key issues and ATO interpretation of the law
- Most common areas where auditors come ‘unstuck’
- Much more …
