The Australian Taxation Office's Approach to Regulating and Registering Self Managed Superannuation Funds

This is the first of two audit reports concerning the Tax Office's administration of SMSFs pursuant to the provisions of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993.
This audit report examines the efficiency and effectiveness of the Tax Office's approach to regulating and registering self managed superannuation funds. Specifically the ANAO examined the:

  • Environment in which SMSFs operate, including the Tax Office's regulatory roles and responsibilities;
  • Tax Office's governance of its SMSF regulatory role; and
  • Systems, processes and controls the Tax Office uses to register SMSFs, and enforce the lodgement of fund income tax and regulatory returns.
