2. Not Professional Advice
​

No Product offered by Skopeo SMSF constitutes, and no Product should be relied upon as, legal advice, auditing advice, accounting advice, tax advice, regulatory advice or any other form of professional advice.
 

Products are designed to assist SMSF audit professionals in their work. They are not a substitute for the exercise of professional judgement by a qualified SMSF auditor, nor do they replace or diminish your own professional obligations under applicable standards and legislation, including but not limited to: ASQM 1 and ASQM 2; ASA and ASAE standards; the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth); the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (Cth) and associated regulations; APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards); and any requirements of ASIC, the ATO, APRA or relevant professional bodies.
 

Skopeo SMSF Pty Ltd is not an audit firm, does not hold an ASIC auditor registration, and does not provide audit, assurance, compliance or advisory services. Products are published in a publishing and software development capacity only.

3. No Guarantee of Compliance

No Product guarantees compliance with any standard, regulation or legislative requirement. Compliance with applicable standards and legislation is your sole responsibility. The outcome of any ASIC inspection, ATO audit, professional body review or other regulatory action is not warranted, predicted or guaranteed by Skopeo SMSF. The purchase or use of a Product does not constitute evidence of compliance with any standard.

4. Customisation Required

Skopeo SMSF is not responsible for any consequences arising from your failure to customise a Product, including but not limited to: leaving placeholder text unchanged, using sample data as actual data, or failing to adapt controls and procedures to your firm’s specific circumstances. You should consider engaging a qualified professional to review customised documents before implementation.
