Tax Audit Insurance

We proudly offer our clients participation in our annual tax audit insurance policy.

Accountancy Insurance (Audit Shield) is comprehensive tax audit insurance product which covers the professional fees incurred as a result of an official audit, enquiry, investigation or review instigated by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and other federal, state and territory based agencies. Today, Accountancy Insurance provide service to more than 2500 accounting firms across Australasia and Canada. Professional Indemnity, Management Liability Insurance and Cyber Insurance are also peace of mind Accountancy Insurance products available to Australian accounting firms.

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and other government bodies continue to target individuals, businesses and Self Managed Superannuation Funds. Audit Shield is underwritten by AAI Limited, trading as Vero Insurance (a subsidiary of Suncorp Group Limited), and has proven to be a vital tool in protecting you against the potential costs (accountants, lawyers, barristers etc) when matters arise in regards to audit activity.
