Three activities sit outside the practice, each with a licensed or independent specialist attached. Financial product advice is licensed activity and it is not something the practice is licensed for. Where financial product advice is required, we work alongside appropriately licensed financial advisers, and we stay responsible for the accounting and tax consequences of what you decide. Audits are carried out by external auditors, because independence rules mean the practice that prepares a set of accounts does not audit them. We arrange and manage the engagement, prepare the file, and run the process. The same principle applies to lending and to insolvency: we prepare lender-ready information and introduce licensed finance brokers or registered liquidators, and we stay involved as your first point of contact rather than handing you off. ## Insights - [Division 296 and your SMSF: what we do about it](https://walchinpractice.com.au/insights/smsf-division-296-tax-1-july-2026): From 1 July 2026 Division 296 reduces super tax concessions above $3 million.
