An annual SMSF audit is mandatory under Australian superannuation law, regardless of whether contributions or benefits were received during the year.
The audit covers two areas: a financial audit (to verify the accuracy of fund records) and a compliance audit (to ensure the fund adheres to superannuation legislation).
As an adviser or accountant, it’s your responsibility to ensure your clients’ funds are audited by an ASIC-registered, independent SMSF auditor. The appointment must be made at least 45 days before the fund’s annual tax return is due to the ATO.
Partnering with a trusted SMSF audit provider ensures your clients remain compliant, while saving you time and minimising regulatory risk.
SMSF Engine offers two flexible audit packages to suit your practice:
If you engage us for both SMSF administration and audit, we streamline data collection during account preparation. This minimizes queries and reduces turnaround time. The result: fewer delays and a more cost-effective audit process.
If you or another accountant prepares the financial accounts, we can still provide the audit service. Simply submit our Audit-Only Checklist, along with the financial statements and relevant source documents.
Our standalone audits are priced across three tiers: Green, Amber, and Red, based on the fund’s complexity and risk profile.
GREEN
Green category SMSF audits
Our base audit fee for standard, low-complexity is
AMBER
Amber category SMSF audits
Our audit fee for moderate-complexity SMSFs is
RED

Red category audits cover high-complexity or non-standard SMSFs and are quoted individually
