New Compliance Plan Auditor appointed
to service RE business
Following a review of our operations to ensure we support our specialist responsible entity (RE) service offering to the best possible standards, Equity Trustees has appointed a single provider to manage the managed investment scheme (MIS) compliance plan audit program.
The move from multiple providers to a single provider following a tender process was to ensure consistent high quality audit processes as efficiently as possible from a time and cost perspective.
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) has been appointed as the MIS compliance plan auditor for a period of three years replacing:
•
Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu
•
Ernst & Young
•
Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd
•
KPMG
•
Pitcher Partners
Equity Trustees is working with PWC and outgoing compliance plan auditors to make sure the transition is completed.
Equity Trustees is RE for more than 300 funds.
A list of impacted funds serviced under Equity Trustees Limited (ABN 46 004 031 298 AFSL 240975) is here.
A notification for trusts impacted under EQT Responsible Entity Services Ltd (ABN 94 101 103 011 AFSL 223271) is here.
