Real Estate Trust Account Inspection Quotes

Every licensed real estate agent in Australia is required to have their trust account audited annually by a qualified, independent auditor to comply with state and territory regulations. Whether you're in NSW, Queensland, Victoria, or elsewhere, trust account compliance is non-negotiable. Finding an auditor who understands property agency regulations, reconciliation requirements, and state-specific reporting shouldn't be a hassle. AuditLink connects you with 3-6 experienced real estate trust account auditors who provide transparent, fixed-price quotes within 24-48 hours.

Typical Deadlines & Timeframes

Trust account audit requirements vary by state, but most jurisdictions require an annual audit within 3 months of your financial year-end. For agencies operating on a 30 June year-end, this means your audit must be completed by 30 September. Some states (like Queensland) also require periodic reconciliations and additional reporting. Missing the deadline can result in fines, license suspension, or regulatory action by Fair Trading or the Office of Fair Trading. Peak season is July to September, so posting your job early ensures you meet your deadline without stress.

What Does a Real Estate Trust Account Audit Cost in 2025?

Small agencies with under 50 annual transactions usually pay $800-$1,200. Medium-sized agencies managing 50-200 properties pay $1,200-$1,800. Large agencies or those with compliance issues, multiple accounts, or high transaction volumes can expect $1,800-$2,500+. Our marketplace ensures you're comparing qualified auditors at competitive rates.

Why Clients Hate Doing This Themselves

Most real estate principals and trust account managers dread audit season. You're already juggling property management, sales, and compliance paperwork—now you need to find an auditor who's qualified under your state's legislation, responsive, and won't charge exorbitant fees. Many auditors quote over the phone without seeing your records, then surprise you with extra charges for 'complex reconciliations' or 'additional testing.' The back-and-forth requesting statements, receipts, and reconciliations drags on for weeks, and one missed deadline can put your license at risk. It's stressful and time-consuming.
