Become an SMSF Specialist Auditor (SSAud®)
The SMSF Specialist Auditor™ (SSAud ® ) program is specifically designed for audit professionals seeking recognition for their specialist skills and knowledge. The SSAud ® designation provides independent recognition of your audit expertise and knowledge of statutory obligations, Auditing & Assurance Standards and AUASB Guidance Statements.
The SSAud® designation is recognised as an approved program under the SMSF Auditor regulations (SIS 9A.01). This means, when held in conjunction with an accounting degree, diploma or certificate from a prescribed university or institution, the SSAud® designation will satisfy ASIC’s education requirements to be registered as an approved SMSF auditor.
Note: Holding the SSAud® designation does not itself confer registration as an approved SMSF auditor. To be registered as an approved SMSF auditor, in addition to meeting the prescribed education requirements, you must meet other requirements which include being an Australian resident, passing a competency examination, and having the required levels of practical experience.
You are also required to comply with ongoing statutory obligations such as lodging an annual statement, completing the prescribed ongoing professional development and holding the prescribed professional indemnity insurance.
