Our Manoj Abichandani | SMSF Technical Director - trustdeed.com.au will be presenting on the below topic in Sydney and Melbourne 

Topic: Australian Auditing Standards that apply to SMSF's and Part A Audit Report Qualifications

All SMSF Auditors must be familiar with all Australian Auditing Standards - especially those which apply to SMSF. Along with compliance reporting in an ACR, auditors are also required to form an opinion on financial audit of the fund and any breaches of Part A of the audit report to be marked on the Annual Return of the fund and reported to the regulator .

In this refresher session, Manoj will take us over some of the AAS which will question on how we audit funds currently and how we should be auditing in future. Materiality, Risk, Independence standard APES 110, Going Concern etc are some of the topics which will be discussed.
