Your financial reporting is at the centre of your business’s best practice when it comes to recording and understanding your profit and loss and balance sheets, as well as any other reporting required of your business to satisfy your lenders’, regulators’ and other key stakeholders’ expectations.

From annualised, special purpose financial reports (most relevant for privately-owned businesses and SMEs) to general purpose financial reports (that grow in complexity as your business grows), how you set up your reporting at the outset creates significant efficiencies and overall benefits to the business. You must have access to reliable, real-time data that can be used for a number of purposes – for example, in Board and shareholder reporting, for ATO tax governance and other regulator programs, and with your banks and other key lenders.

The team at Grant Thornton works with our clients – from all industries – on their financial reporting needs. We have the skillsets and experience to support your business as it meets its financial reporting obligations, with an investment in automation technology and systems that promote efficiency and accuracy.

We can scale up your reporting requirements as you grow or to meet new business milestones, spot red flags or potential issues in your reporting – from underpaid GST, to miscalculated superannuation payments – and help you proactively manage these with the relevant regulators.

    Tax Agents Disclosures

    The Tax Practitioners Board maintains a register of tax agents and BAS agents. You can access and search this register here. This register includes details of the registration (and conditions if applicable) of Grant Thornton and our individual registered tax agents with whom you engage.

    Your engagement letter with Grant Thornton and the Standard Terms and Conditions set out our procedures for dealing with problems or complaints. The Tax Practitioners Board also has a complaints process in relation to tax agent services as outlined on their website which can be accessed here. 

    Tax agents have obligations to the Tax Practitioners Board and to their clients.  You also have obligations under the taxation laws and to your tax agent.  Please refer to these obligations on the TPB website or the TPB’s fact sheet "Information for Clients".

    Section 45 of the Tax Agent Services (Code of Professional Conduct) requires Grant Thornton to notify you if it becomes aware of certain events which have occurred in the past 5 years. Grant Thornton is not aware of any such events.
