Audit Shield Service Update
April 28, 2020
JobKeeper payment audits and reviews are covered by our Audit Shield service.
Covid-19 has challenged nearly every aspect of our lives, both personally and in business. The government has taken unprecedented steps to try and manage the issues of a health crisis and an economic crisis at the same time. The support packages are being announced in concept with the specific details being built two to three steps behind the concept and announcement. This is not a criticism, but more of a statement with respect to a show of dynamic and action driven responses in a time where that is required by both Federal and State governments.
Although our Audit Shield service excludes any matter in relation to application, assessment or review of government benefits or entitlements, we are pleased to announce that we have been working closely with our service provider and they now have an inclusion in place for JobKeeper payment audits and reviews only. This means that JobKeeper payment audits and reviews are covered by our Audit Shield service. Our Audit Shield service will provide for the payment of our professional fees otherwise payable by you when incurred as a result of our accounting firm
being required to respond to a JobKeeper payment audit or review on your behalf.
What you should know about this new inclusion:
- You do not need to do anything to have this included in your current Audit Shield service offering if you are currently participating.
- It only covers JobKeeper payments. All audits and reviews of other Covid-19 support packages are not covered unless they form part of an audit of a lodged return (i.e. BAS audit, Payroll Tax audit etc.).
- It only covers post payment audits and reviews so any issues or queries with the JobKeeper payment application process are not covered.
- This is being added at no additional cost to you.
