SMSF Audits
GPS provides Self Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF) audit services to accountants, trustees, and financial planners throughout Australia. We are committed to providing you with a service that meets your needs. Our flexibility and adaptability ensure we help you get the best results. We are registered with ASIC and are members of the SMSF Association.
How we assist Accountants and Administrators
GPS through its principal Gary Smith has a long-standing reputation for providing efficient, effective, and truly independent audit support for accountants and administrators in the audit of SMSFs. We focus on building relationships with accounting practices and administrators that deliver success.
Benefits of using GPS:
- GPS is a truly independent firm. We do not provide accounting or tax services and therefore your client relationship is protected.
- We provide high quality affordable SMSF Audits. We offer both fixed fee and tailored fee arrangements. Fees are competitive and determined in consultation with you and dependent on both the number and complexity of the funds you require to be audited.
- We provide guidance on audit and compliance requirements in the form of checklists and designated forms for trustee declarations and disclosures.
- Being members of the SMSF association, we stay up to date with training. In addition, Gary holds a SMSF Specialist Auditor designation with the Association. Our audits are performed in accordance with the professional obligations of approved SMSF auditors as required by the SSA which includes adherence to the Australian Auditing Standards; the competency standards in ASIC Class order 12/1687 and the independence requirements of APES 110.
- We are always looking for new and improved ways to achieve efficiency in our audits. We have streamlined our procedures and practices, reducing the time our experts spend on administrative duties, so we can concentrate on giving your clients’ portfolio the attention they deserve
- GPS works with clients to resolve issues and deal with potential breaches in an open communication environment prior to issuing any contraventions. GPS utilises Heffron for specialist advice when required.
How we assist Trustees
All SMSF’s are required to be audited by an approved auditor under the Superannuation Industry Supervisory Act 1993.
The audit of a SMSF begins with a financial audit of the fund. This is done to establish that the financial report is fairly stated and not materially misstated. The financial audit is completed together with a SMSF compliance audit which assesses your SIS compliance. We work with our trustees to resolve issues and deal with any potential breaches. To do this we will always communicate in an open with you, prior to issuing any contraventions.
Our goal is to add value beyond the audit report. GPS can provide general advice and could refer any specific issues arising on individual funds, if necessary, to an external specialist. We work with trustees and the accountants to achieve fast, reliable and cost effective SMSF Audit services.
We are unable to both prepare and audit SMSFs financial statements. We do have business partners who can assist in this space. If we can connect you with the right people we will.

what our clients have to say
Having worked with Alison in both project and business as usual environments I have found her to be professional, approachable and receptive to feedback, qualities that do not always go hand in hand in the audit/compliance space. Alison provides honest and thoughtful assessments of risk as well as grounded advice on compliance related issues that positively impact operational and project outcomes. Alison’s bright and bubbly personality, coupled with her focus on quality service and results makes her a pleasure to deal with. I would have no hesitation in recommending Alison to organisations seeking a risk and compliance expert who will treat others with integrity and respect.
Kim Taylor Director JKMS
I have known Gary personally and worked with Gary professionally for over 20 years. Gary has been very passionate and dedicated in all the professional roles he has undertaken. I know he will be very successful in his new endeavour. I wish him all the best.
Heather BeckingsalePartner, Woods Prince , Lawyers
I engaged Alison to provide audit and assurance services for a large statutory body on the Sunshine Coast. Alison conducted a thorough and comprehensive audit. Alison not only made recommendations to improve internal controls but also provided value to the organisation by utilising system data to improve management information, reporting and decision-making. Alison is professional, courteous, reliable and efficient. I have valued her work.
Lee PDirector
I have known Gary for many years. He has been a client and a stakeholder of Harris Black, Chartered Accountants and has been our appointed auditor or for many years across a range of clients. Gary has been effective with our client referrals and have always received good feedback on Gary’s work and that of his staff. He is a pleasure to work with. His competency and integrity is unquestionable. I wish him every success in his new venture.
Reneee BettenayDirector, Harris Black, Chartered Accountants
I wish to highly commend Alison for her first-class professional approach while conducting this audit. It was great to have an auditor come to help us resolve the problems that were outstanding! In this context Alison was a great help, both in her assistance and in her understanding. Her support and ‘modus operandi’ were excellent. She is a credit to your Firm.
Peter HPrincipal
Alison Milford he has been engaged by organizations with which I have worked over many years, in the areas of internal audit, compliance and regulatory assurance.
In areas where I have not worked closely with her, those to whom she reported have been greatly impressed by her diligence, competence and integrity. Where I have worked closely with her, I have found that these views echo my own.
I would not hesitate to engage her in the future on any matter relating to her areas of expertise.
