The extent of our procedures will be limited exclusively for this purpose. As a result, no audit or review will be performed and, accordingly, no assurance will be expressed. Our engagement cannot be relied upon to disclose irregularities including fraud, other illegal acts and errors that may exist. However, we will inform you of any such matters that come to our attention.
Our professional services are conducted and the Financial Reports and/or Taxation Returns will be prepared for distribution to the relevant specific organisation or party for the purpose specified in the report or as agreed. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on our professional services to any party other than as specified or agreed, and for the purpose which it was prepared. Where appropriate, our report will contain a disclaimer to this effect.

That information will not be disclosed by us to other parties except as required or allowed for by law, or with your express consent. We wish to advise that our firm’s system of quality control has been established and maintained in accordance with the relevant APESB standard. As a result, our files may be subject to review as part of the quality control review program of The Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia which monitors compliance with professional standards by its members.

The Engagement may operate on either a Fixed Fee for Services Quotation, or an Hourly Rate Fee. If you wish to take up our offer of a Fixed Fee for Service, please let us know and we will be happy to provide a customised quote for your organisation.
The actual fees and rates charged by us reflect the seniority, expertise and experience of the persons involved, as well as factors such as the time frame in which this work is to be carried out, the particular nature of the retainer and the complexity and risks of the matter.
All fees are required to be paid in full 14 days from the date of the invoice issued, or by other arrangements as agreed to in writing. Failure to correspond with us in relation to payment of outstanding fees will result in further collection action being taken without further notice.
