Tasmania’s audit cycle follows the financial year: trust accounts held under the Property Agents and Land Transactions Act are audited to 30 June and the report reaches the Property Agents Board by 30 September. Sales, property management and strata trust money all fall inside the scope.
Distance is irrelevant to the way we work — Hobart, Launceston or the north-west coast, the audit is the same online engagement: records exported from your trust platform, statutory testing, one batched query round, then the signed report and a management letter that tells your team exactly what to tighten. Multi-office groups get every account audited in one pass on a per-account fixed fee.

Questions, answered
When is the Tasmania trust account audit due?
The audit covers the year ended 30 june and the report is due by 30 September. We diarise your dates at booking and confirm them in the engagement letter against the regulator's current requirements.
Who must have a trust account audited in Tasmania?
Licensees who held trust money during the audit period — real estate agents, property managers and, depending on licence type, conveyancers and settlement agents — under the Property Agents and Land Transactions Act 2016. If you held no trust money, ask us whether a declaration can be lodged instead of an audit.
How is the audit report lodged?
Auditor's report lodged with the Property Agents Board. You receive the signed report and a management letter through the portal, and we keep the lodgement evidence on file with it.
What does the audit cost?
A real estate or conveyancing trust account audit is $649/account ex GST; law-practice external examinations are $890/account ex GST. Additional accounts under the same licence are priced per account, fixed before we start.
Do you need to visit our office?
No. Records export from your trust software to the portal, testing and queries happen remotely, and the report is lodged electronically. The whole engagement typically takes 5–10 business days from complete records.
