Changes to the Requirements
On 1 July, several changes were made to the trust account requirements to simplify processes and reduce the administrative burden and cost of compliance. These changes impact:
- Who must be paid from the PTA
- When you can withdraw funds from the PTA as a trustee
- Record-keeping, training, and auditing requirements
- How you account for trust funds as part of the MFR requirements.
Upcoming Event
