Real estate agencies are audited. That is not a risk to manage occasionally when an audit is coming. It is an ongoing obligation. Auditors look for reconciliation failures, unresolved adjustments, unclaimed funds sitting in holding accounts and software that is not appropriate for trust accounting. These are not hard things to get right. They are hard to maintain without proper oversight.
End of Month Angels provides compliance reviews, audit preparation and regulatory guidance for agencies across all Australian states and territories. We review your trust account framework against the legislation that applies to your agency, identify where your exposure sits and give you a clear, direct assessment of what needs to change.
If you have been delegated compliance responsibility without a clear understanding of what that means in practice, you are not alone. Most property managers who come to us for compliance support were never formally trained on the legislation. They were trained on the software and told to get through end of month. We close that gap.
From 1 July 2026, agencies will be required to implement formal AML/CTF programs covering customer identification, transaction monitoring, risk assessments and staff training. Many agencies are not prepared for this. If you are not sure what it means for your business or where to start, we can walk you through it.
We highly recommend End of Month Angels. Their knowledge of trust accounting and compliance is second to none. Having them manage our trust accounting has taken a huge weight off our shoulders and given us real peace of mind. Their flexible approach means the support is always tailored to our needs. We can focus on running our business knowing our compliance is in safe hands.
