Independent SMSF Audits with Fast Turnaround

SMSF Engine offers low-cost, independent SMSF audit services through our panel of expert auditors, including Baumgartner Superannuation.

Whether used as a standalone service or bundled with SMSF administration, our streamlined process reduces back-and-forth. This helps you meet compliance needs quickly and affordably.

Why SMSF Audits Are Essential

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.

Our SMSF Audit Services: Financial and Compliance Audits

SMSF Engine offers two flexible audit packages to suit your practice:

Bundled Audit with Administration

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.

Standalone Audit

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.
