WEBINARS

Topdocs’ SMSF Compliance Suite ensures your SMSFs are always up to date and compliant by providing you with unlimited access to Topdocs’ award winning range of SMSF Compliance documentation.

With ever increasing scrutiny on investment strategies by the ATO, continued litigation around SMSF death benefits stemming from inadequate documentation, and more stringent documentation requirements for accounting firms arising from the need to outsource audits, it is becoming clear that the use of pro forma compliance documentation is an area of high risk for SMSF professionals.
