Why SMSF Administration Matters?

Accurate, consistent SMSF administration is critical to meeting the compliance requirements set by the ATO and other regulatory bodies. While SMSFs offer flexibility, they also come with significant administrative responsibilities and falling short can lead to penalties, non-compliance notices, or enforceable undertakings.

For accountants and advisers managing SMSF clients, streamlined administration helps ensure your clients’ funds remain compliant, audit-ready, and well-documented year-round.

Core SMSF administration tasks include:
  • Establishing the fund with a compliant trust deed
  • Drafting and maintaining a valid investment strategy
  • Coordinating annual audits with an independent auditor
  • Preparing annual financial statements
  • Maintaining financial records and fund documentation
  • Lodging tax returns
  • Paying the ATO supervisory levy
  • Updating trustee or member changes
  • Managing the fund’s operations throughout the year
