Investment Strategy Puzzle
The ATO also wrote to their SMSF Auditors outlining their reporting role and what Trustees must do, where the fund has invested in a single asset or single asset class. These letters have caused a lot confusion among Accountants & Auditors who have received these letters. Firstly why were these letters sent and secondly why these letters were sent to only to about 18,000 funds, where about 1/3rd of all funds invest in single asset class, e.g. shares or say fixed interest or property etc. And lastly, how should they prepare an investment strategy for the fund or audit investment strategy for 2019 financial year as the ATO did not provide any clear guideline nor there is any clarity on investment strategy in SMSF Guidance Statement for SMSF's GS 009. Trustees are also worried on two accounts, firstly will they have to pay a fine if they have only one asset or one asset class and will have to diversifying to 89%, or lower, in one asset class to remove them from the ATO's radar. In his presentation, Manoj Abichandani, on 10th October 2019 at Parkview Hotel, St. Kilda Melbourne, will unmask, why these letters were sent, the current practice by accountants and auditors and what must happen, so that Trustees do not pay any fines and Accountants & Auditors to not breach superannuation law. If you or your client have received this letter, this is a non-miss event as Manoj will show you how advisors can package their services, prepare an SOA for investment strategy, what to write to the Trustees plus a template of a property non-diversified investment strategy template & minutes to document & adopt the investment strategy.
