HOW OUR SERVICE WORKS

REAL ESTATE

Our fixed fee for the audit is based on the number of trust accounts you have, the number of rental properties you manage and the number of properties sold if applicable.

Once we have determined the scope of the audit, we will advise you our fees and you can choose to engage us as your trust account auditor.

We will send you our Engagement Letter to formalise the relationship and we will prepare the Agent Representation Letter for you for your convenience. Both of these will need to be signed by you.

We will then arrange a time and place to audit your files at your premise.

After the visit, you will be issued an invoice for the service.
