Real Estate Trust Account Inspection QLD

Every licensed real estate agent in Queensland is required to have their trust account audited annually by a qualified, independent auditor to comply with the Property Occupations Act and regulations enforced by the Office of Fair Trading. Whether you're managing residential property in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, or regional Queensland, trust account compliance is non-negotiable. Finding a Queensland auditor who understands property agency regulations, reconciliation requirements, and QFT reporting shouldn't be a hassle. AuditLink connects you with 3-6 experienced QLD trust account auditors who provide transparent, fixed-price quotes within 24-48 hours.

Typical Deadlines & Timeframes

Queensland real estate agents must have their trust account audited within 3 months of the financial year-end. For agencies operating on a 30 June year-end, this means your audit must be completed by 30 September. The Queensland Office of Fair Trading requires submission of the audit report and financial statements shortly after. Missing the deadline can result in fines, license suspension, or regulatory action. Peak season for QLD trust account audits 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?

Queensland real estate trust account audit fees typically range from $800 to $2,500 depending on transaction volume, number of properties managed, and trust account complexity. 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 Queensland auditors at competitive rates.

Why Clients Hate Doing This Themselves

Most Queensland 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 Queensland legislation, responsive, and won't charge exorbitant fees. Many auditors quote over the phone without seeing your QLD trust account 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 OFT deadline can put your license at risk. It's stressful.
