Building INDUSTry professionals

Builders, subcontractors, developers and building owners are impacted the most by the trust account laws and may be required to set up and use a trust account. If you're a trustee or expect to become one, there are strict rules and requirements that must be followed. Trustees may also need to complete mandatory training. ​

How we can help

We’re here to help you prepare for the impact that trust accounts will have on your business. We can help you to assess and update your systems and processes, upskill and train your staff or provide ongoing advice and support for the set up and administration of a trust account.


Are you concerned about your compliance risk? Take the stress out of your trust account reviews and QBCC audits by conducting regular compliance risk assessments with Building Trusts.

 

Make sure you know where your business is and isn’t compliant and steps to make required updates and changes before you are audited or fined by the QBCC for non-compliance.

 

We’ll look more comprehensively across your business’s systems, workforce and processes and give you a report with actionable recommendations so you can operate within the rules and remain compliant.

 

 

By purchasing our compliance risk assessment, you will:

— receive a detailed review, including a report of findings prepared by our specialist team

— have clear recommendations for any changes required

— identify gaps within processes or areas of non-compliance

— proactively reduce compliance risk.


Pricing

1. Single compliance risk assessment – $2,400

This covers an initial and once-off audit, detailed report with insights and recommendations, supporting information and training material and a handover meeting to explain the findings. 

 

2. Compliance risk assessment package – $3,600

This covers at least two separate audits of your trust accounts, again with a detailed report, recommendations and handover meetings. We will recommend conducting at least two assessments per year to help track and monitor your progress towards overall compliance.
