Time and Deadline for Submitting Your Conveyancers Trust Account Audit VIC
- Annual Trust Account Audit Requirement
As a conveyancer in Victoria, you are required to have your trust account audited annually by an independent, qualified auditor. This ensures that your trust funds are properly recorded and reconciled. The audit must cover the full financial year, typically from 1 July to 30 June. - Audit Report Submission Deadline
The audit report must be completed and submitted to Consumer Affairs Victoria within three months after the end of the financial year. For most businesses, this means submitting the report by 30 September. - Late Submission Consequences
Failing to submit your audit report on time may result in penalties or other disciplinary actions. It’s essential to ensure that your audit is completed and submitted promptly to avoid any issues. - Trust Accounts Not in Use
If your trust account was not used during the audit period, you must still confirm this with Consumer Affairs Victoria. In most cases, a statutory declaration may be sufficient instead of a full audit.
