Strata & Body Corporate Audit Australia

Strata schemes and body corporate entities across Australia often require independent financial audits to comply with legislation, owner expectations, or management agreements. Whether you're managing a residential apartment complex, commercial strata, or mixed-use development, an independent audit provides transparency and accountability to lot owners. Finding an auditor experienced in strata accounting, administrative fund management, and sinking fund budgets shouldn't be difficult. AuditLink connects you with 3-6 qualified strata auditors who provide transparent, fixed-price quotes within 24-48 hours.

Typical Deadlines & Timeframes

Strata audit requirements vary by state and by the size and type of strata scheme. In NSW, large schemes must have their financial statements audited annually. In Queensland, body corporate schemes may require audits under the BCCM Act or management agreements. Many strata committees request audits voluntarily to ensure financial transparency. Audits are typically due within 3-4 months of the financial year-end. Peak season for strata audits is July to November.

What Does a Strata Audit Cost in 2025?

Strata and body corporate audit fees typically range from $1,000 to $4,000 depending on scheme size, number of lots, fund complexity, and financial reporting requirements. Small residential schemes with under 20 lots usually pay $1,000-$1,800. Medium-sized schemes with 20-100 lots pay $1,800-$2,800. Large schemes, commercial strata, or those with multiple funds (administrative, sinking, capital works) can expect $2,800-$4,000+. Our marketplace ensures you're comparing qualified auditors at fair market rates.

Why Clients Hate Doing This Themselves

Most strata managers and committee members find the audit process overwhelming. You're already managing maintenance, owner complaints, and AGM preparation—now you need to find an auditor who understands strata accounting, levy budgets, and fund management. Many auditors quote over the phone without understanding your scheme's complexity, then hit you with scope creep charges for 'additional testing' or 'complex fund analysis.' The process drags on for weeks with constant requests for bank statements, levy rolls, and budget reports. Owners ask questions, and you're stuck waiting on the auditor. It's frustrating.
