ASIC says that on Friday, 12 April 2013, it registered the 2,000th auditor as part of the new self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) auditor registration reform. As of Wed 17.4.2013, ASIC said it had registered a total of 2,192 approved SMSF auditors.
From 1 July 2013, those wishing to conduct SMSF audits must be registered with ASIC. The regulator recommends that applications be made by 30 April 2013 to provide ASIC with adequate time to process the applications by 30 June 2013. Those not registered by that date will not be able to conduct SMSF audits until they are registered.
