Byrons Super Fund Auditors

Are you wishing to outsource your super fund audits?

Do you want efficient, independent and cost effective audits?  

Byrons Super Auditors is an independent division of Byrons, specialising in the provision of audit services to trustees of Self Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSF).

Why outsource your super fund audits?

• Independence is assured – Auditor independence is one of the greatest challenges facing tax practitioners.  The joint statement issued by ICAA, NIA and CPA recommends that accountants should now consider outsourcing the audit function where appropriate.  The common practice of preparing the tax returns, financial statements as well as completing the audit of your client’s super funds is no longer recommended as it may be a possible trigger for ATO audits.
• Low flat fee structure – The fee for the audit will be estimated in advance and is based on the risk category of the fund.  Simply add your profits.
• You are the client – We operate in the background of your firm.  You maintain full contact with your client and are freed up to focus on higher margin work.  We invoice you, the practitioner, for the audit and communication is directly with your staff unless requested otherwise.
• Increased profits/ reduced training costs – The additional accreditation and CPD requirements in relation to the audit of self managed super funds, puts financial strain on practitioners that have small number of super funds.
• Reduce your PI insurance premiums – If your practice only performs SMSF audits, then the outsourcing of this role may reduce your professional indemnity insurance.
• Peace of Mind – The ATO has made it very clear that they are now targeting SMSF auditors, having stated that if an accounting firm prepares both the tax return and an SMSF audit for a client, they are at an increased risk of an ATO audit.  By outsourcing to Byrons Super Auditors, you will have peace of mind.  Having the support of an independent auditor also gives you the opportunity to maintain good client relations to help you and your clients with identifying and communicating any  SIS breaches.
