Frequently asked questions
What does fixed fee trust account audit mean?
A fixed fee trust account audit means the price is agreed against a defined scope before audit work begins. The quote should identify the account status, profession, state, audit period, number of trust accounts, record readiness, software, and deadline.
What is the standard active trust account audit price?
Many standard active trust account audits start from $549 + GST per trust account. Some state, profession, or scope rows are $749 + GST where the audit pathway requires additional work.
Is a dormant trust account audit cheaper?
Yes, where the account genuinely qualifies. AuditsPro dormant trust account audits may start from $149 + GST per trust account, but this scope only applies where the account had no transactions, no trust money, and zero balance for the full audit period.
Do I need to upload documents before getting a fixed fee?
No. You can request a fixed fee quote first using your profession, state, audit period, number of trust accounts, software, deadline, and records status. Sensitive audit records should be uploaded only after the scope and engagement pathway are clear.
Why does fixed fee pricing still vary?
Fixed fee does not mean every audit has one price. A dormant account, standard active real estate file, conveyancer trust account, and solicitor trust account can require different review work, state checks, reporting steps, and auditor time.
Is this available across Australia?
Yes. AuditsPro supports trust account audit requests across Australian states and territories, with state-aware intake, online document workflow, and Australian client services.
