Frequently asked questions

ASF Audits is Australia's leading independent SMSF (Self-Managed Super Fund) auditor. We partner with accounting firms, SMSF administrators, and financial advisers to deliver high-quality, technology-enabled SMSF audits. We've been doing this for over 30 years and audit more than 59,000 SMSFs per year.

Yes, completely. We audit only. We don't offer accounting or financial advice services, which means we never compete with your accounting firm or adviser for your clients. This independence also strengthens your credibility with the ATO.

We have 130+ specialist SMSF auditors, over 20 ASIC-registered auditors, and more than 30 years of industry experience. We've been named SMSF Auditor of the Year nine times and are a certified Great Place to Work.

We're based in Adelaide, South Australia, with operations supporting accounting firms and administrators across Australia.

An SMSF audit is an independent review of a self-managed super fund, required annually by the ATO. It covers both financial statements and compliance with superannuation laws to ensure the fund is operating correctly, and members' retirement wealth is protected.

After an initial consultation to understand your practice needs, we configure your access to our platform (Skylight), integrate with your software, and train your team. Most practices are fully operational within 2–3 weeks. We can also pilot with a small batch of audits first if you prefer a phased approach.

Most audits are completed within 5 days of receiving complete documentation. Some straightforward audits are turned around the same day. For urgent situations, we can often accommodate expedited service. You can track progress in real time through our client portal.

Our senior auditors have decades of combined experience handling complex SMSF situations. We'll communicate clearly, provide practical solutions, and support you through any technical challenges, you're never left to deal with difficult issues alone.

We offer flexible, transparent pricing tailored to your practice, including flat rates for consistency, tiered pricing for flexibility, asset-based fees for fairness, and customised combinations for complex portfolios. Every engagement includes our full-service commitment. Contact us for a tailored proposal.

Our fees reflect the true value we deliver — faster turnarounds, superior technology, genuine technical expertise, and a real partnership approach. We're happy to discuss your specific requirements and provide a comparison.

We use two in-house platforms: HubX, our proprietary audit platform, and Skylight, our intelligent client portal. Both were built from the ground up by our team to give you complete transparency, efficiency, and control over the audit process.

We integrate seamlessly with the three major SMSF administration platforms: BGL 360, SuperMate, and Class. Connection is one-click, enabling secure and automated data transfer with no manual re-keying required.

Through Skylight, our client portal, you get a real-time dashboard showing the status of every audit in your portfolio — with visual progress tracking, priority indicators, and instant alerts. No more chasing emails.

Yes. We use bank-level encryption, secure data centers, multi-factor authentication, and 24/7 security monitoring. We fully comply with Australian Privacy Principles, and your data is never shared or sold. We also conduct regular penetration testing and are transparent about our security practices.

We work with accounting firms, SMSF administrators, and financial advisers across Australia. Whether you manage a handful of SMSFs or thousands, we have the capacity and technology to support your practice.

Absolutely. With 130+ specialist auditors and robust offshore team support, we're never stretched thin. Partners like Intello have grown from a few hundred to several thousand SMSFs with our support.

We make switching simple. We'll handle the transition, integrate with your existing software, and can even pilot with a small batch to give you confidence before fully onboarding.

Yes, we have a dedicated Acquisitions & Partnerships service designed to support flexible practice transitions. If you're looking to exit, grow through acquisition, or restructure your SMSF audit portfolio, we can help.
