Property practitioners have unique audit requirements that extend from the business records to the trust accounts.

The property practitioner industry also has specific legislation that directs how the accounting records for business and trust are to be kept, turned into financial statements / trust reports and audited.

Are you comfortable with your audit responsibilities relative to:

  • The new ISA 315 and ISA 330 (Revised) on the business financial statements,
  • Deciding which assurance standards to apply to business VS trust audits
  • Trust account compliance audit procedures,
  • Audit report for trust and business,
  • Auditing compliance with other legislation e.g., FICA, and
  • Agreed upon procedures engagements on trust records.


Property practitioner audit deadlines are 6 months after year end.

Join us as we help audit trainees, managers and partners navigate the pre-engagement, planning, execution and finalisation phase of an audit of a property practitioner, including its trust accounts.
