Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) Audit Services
SMSF auditors Melbourne
There are many ways in which Kingston & Knight Audit SMSF audit services can improve your superannuation outcomes, thanks to the experience and attention to detail that characterise the work of our Melbourne auditors.
In addition to the requirement that all SMSFs be audited by an ASIC-approved SMSF auditor on a yearly basis, we aim to assist you in gaining control over your superannuation and obtaining the best performance for your self-managed super fund.
Kingston & Knight Audit can achieve this in a number a ways. First of all, by ensuring compliance with regulatory audit requirements, your self-managed super fund is not going to be subject to penalties. However, your SMSF audit need not merely serve to check the boxes as required by regulators. Your SMSF audit can be conducted in a manner similar to an internal audit of an organisation’s financial information.
Our Melbourne Auditors are able to identify strengths and weaknesses in the composition of your self-managed fund, so that we can offer targeted advice to help you improve your superannuation yield.
Trust Account Audit Services

By carrying out a disciplined and rigorous audit, we highlight the strengths of your trust account whilst identifying areas that require improvement to ensure it serves its purpose. After all, the purpose of most trust accounts is to ensure that funds remain secure whilst the investor bides there time, or the benefactor’s recipients reach the nominated life stage. By engaging Kingston & Knight Melbourne auditors, you can be sure that your trust account is safe and secure.

Testimonials
[testimonials style=”style-2″][testimonial user_name=”D. Pugh”]I made my first big career change in the midst of middle-age, becoming self-employed. The freedom of my new work life led to an active interest in personal finance and investing. My original, and only, super fund was an industry fund so I have made the move to a self-managed super fund. I established my fund with the aid of a business partner and later got on to Kingston & Knight Audit through word of mouth. I was sweating a bit when it came time for my first SMSF compliance audit, but Kingston & Knight Audit took care of it in a matter of days. Overall their professional auditors have been very helpful and reliable. I know I can call them to help me deal with any issues and will definitely be using them for my next SMSF audit.[/testimonial][testimonial user_name=”K. Lehmann”]Can’t speak highly enough of the team at Kingston & Knight Audit, great customer service and communication. We run a community services organisation and because of its structure (company limited by guarantee) we are required to have an independent auditor appointed at all times and occasionally undertake compliance audits. Kingston & Knight Audit recently took over as our appointed auditors and so far have had nothing but great experiences with them. Not only are their services more fairly priced and reliable, we don’t even hesitate to pick up the phone if we need to ask about something or get something checked.
[/testimonial][testimonial user_name=”A. Harada”]After we get ourselves into a hard situation, it was Kingston & Knight Audit that help to get us back on our feet. Some family members got caught in a scheme that cost us almost everything. When we found the courage to take action and got the great legal help, it was Kingston & Knight Audit who identified, obtained and prepared the evidence that was needed in the case. It is still an ongoing process but we would have not even had any hope without this evidence. We had no idea about forensic auditing and investigative auditing, but we know now that it is a truly great service that can help many people. Kingston & Knight Audit are very good at helping you with anything you don’t know about during that process.[/testimonial][testimonial user_name=”B. Callaghan”]If you’re looking for investment to get something up and running and need assurance services, Kingston & Knight Audit is the best I’ve come across. Especially if you are still establishing your offering and don’t have much weight behind you, these guys actually listen to you and treat their clients in a professional manner. Got on to KNA through my accountant and they helped me prepare my financial information before making my first serious pitch. Their auditing is incredibly thorough. I learned what I had to do better finance wise and sorted out all the missing links. As assurance, their auditor’s report is excellent and their services are fairly priced so I didn’t get bogged down in the assurance process.
[/testimonial][testimonial user_name=”CS. Jemsek”]Kingston & Knight Audit has revived our organisation and done so with great communication and service, fairness, and honesty. The organisation I work for had some serious issues with its structure and control processes after downsizing over recent years. The downsizing measures were poorly coordinated and hastily executed, so that at the end of it we barely knew what we were meant to do next. We still needed to know what we were doing wrong and where the money was going. Our options were running out when we found Kingston & Knight Audit, who recommended we engage them for a thorough internal audit and risk review. They quickly helped us fill in the gaps in our financial planning and management processes whilst auditing the organisation as a whole. Their recommendations enabled us to preserve the organisation and get back on the path to real growth.
