Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the details and information you provide to us and the disclosure of all material and relevant information. This includes informing us of any change in your circumstances and advising us of any subsequent event which may affect the accuracy and completeness of the information provided.

We may ask questions of you regarding the information provided. You are responsible for providing accurate and complete responses to our questions within a reasonable time. This should not be taken as meaning that we will verify the accuracy and completeness of the information provided.



The taxation law provides you with "safe harbours" from penalties for incorrect or late tax returns if you provide "all relevant taxation information" to us in a timely manner. Failure to discharge the responsibilities described above may mean that you are not eligible for that "safe harbour" protection.

Information acquired by us in the course of this engagement is subject to strict confidentiality requirements and we will not disclose that information to other parties except as required or allowed by law, or with your written consent.

We will advise you of your rights, obligations and options available to you under taxation laws. We may also provide you with advice on the application of taxation laws, including any possible penalties and other consequences to enable you to make an informed decision of the course of action that may be taken.

Taxation laws change frequently. All advice will be based on the current law at the time the advice is provided. It is your responsibility to obtain updated advice in relation to actual or proposed transactions entered into at a later time.

We will act in your best interests at all times, subject to the overriding requirement that we must comply with the law. For example, we would be unable to lodge a tax return for you that we knew contained a false or misleading statement.



Our firm's quality control procedures have been established and maintained in accordance with APES 320 – Quality Control for Firms and, as a result, our files may be subject to review under the Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia quality control review program. By accepting our engagement, you acknowledge that, if requested, our files relating to this engagement will be made available under this program. We will advise you if this occurs.
