5. SMSF Trustee Responsibilities

Establishing and operating an SMSF carries significant legal and compliance responsibilities. Trustees are personally responsible for ensuring that their SMSF complies with the requirements of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (SIS Act), Australian taxation laws, trust deed requirements, and all relevant regulations.

Trustees are responsible for:

• developing and reviewing investment strategies,
• maintaining appropriate records,
• ensuring contributions remain within allowable caps,
• meeting pension obligations,
• complying with borrowing rules,
• ensuring investments satisfy the sole purpose test, and
• arranging annual independent audits.

Our accounting and administration services assist trustees with compliance and reporting obligations; however, ultimate responsibility for the operation and compliance of the SMSF remains with the trustees at all times.
