Trust Account Auditing: Why You Need It and How Real Estate Audit Can Help

Trust accounts are an essential part of the real estate industry. They hold money on behalf of clients, such as tenants, landlords, and property owners. As a real estate agent, it is your responsibility to manage these accounts in compliance with legal requirements. Trust account auditing is a critical process that ensures your trust accounts are being managed properly. In this blog post, we will discuss why you need trust account auditing and how Real Estate Audit can help.


Why Do You Need Trust Account Auditing?

A report by PwC found that fraud is the most significant risk facing Australian businesses, with the real estate sector being particularly vulnerable. Trust account auditing is a legal requirement in most Australian states and territories. It is designed to protect clients' funds by ensuring that trust accounts are managed in compliance with legal requirements. For example, in Victoria, it is mandatory for estate agents to have their trust accounts audited annually by an independent auditor registered with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). Failure to comply with trust account regulations can result in severe consequences, including fines, loss of license, and criminal charges.
