``We recognised that the standout feature dealing with Accountancy Insurance (AI) was in the 'simplicity' of the overall relationship. Offering Audit Shield to our clients involved minimal practice involvement from us, as AI ensured everything was handled on our behalf with the utmost professionalism. Claims were settled quickly and with no fuss; the processes relating to the product itself were also easy to utilise. I would strongly recommend incorporating Audit Shield into any practice, as a worthy value offering.``

``We like the broad cover of the Audit Shield policy as it covers not just 'audits', but reviews, investigations, questionnaires and the like. Write offs as a result of this type of work are a thing of the past! The claims process is very easy and straight forward, takes less than 5 minutes to complete, and we have been paid in 2-3 days!

``Audit Shield gives my clients peace-of-mind, knowing that their fees (including engaged experts if required) will be covered should they be subject to an invasive and time consuming audit. It also allows me to advise my clients that fees in relation to audit work are subject to an additional charge and should they not take up the Audit Shield service, they will be liable for that charge. The Accountancy Insurance team is very professional and the mail out and administrative process is seamless.``

Devenny Payne, Bacchus Marsh VIC

Rob Schammer, General Manager

``Our practice has benefited from the Audit Shield service with an amazing take up over the past three years. Our Account Manager has provided insight into how to improve our take up rate and taught us not to discount clients simply because they didn’t adopt a policy in the first year. Accountancy Insurance has provided ongoing education and we are constantly learning about the service and how this benefits our clients' needs.``

``Audit Shield is excellent, not simply in terms of products provided, but more importantly in good old-fashioned customer service and support. In particular, we are fortunate to have Beatrice Koh as our Account Manager. Beatrice is incredibly thorough, very well organised and manages multiple, nuanced mail-outs and client follow-up in a way that releases our staff and improves the product acceptance by our clients. As an added bonus, we are able to use Beatrice’s excellent summary lists to check and improve the integrity of our database.

``We are now confident in our approach to audit activity. In the past, we would be looking to get the audit resolved for a minimal cost to the client that would often lead to a write-off, so no one benefited. Audit Shield has created a 'win win' situation - the client knows that with the coverage they will get a premium service at no cost and internally we know that we will get paid for the job so we treat the work as a high priority, which means more efficient resolutions in the case of audit activity.``

``Audit Shield has been of great benefit to us, as it protects our clients and firm, whilst offering an additional, value added service. Clients do not generally understand the complexity of the work involved with an audit response, especially a matter such as payroll tax. As such, it can be difficult to recover the time we legitimately spend responding to these matters. With Audit Shield in place, a proper response to audit queries can be attended to. I especially like the usability of the software platform and it's easy to run reports. Grant & Victor have been great, very attentive, and their communication is fantastic.``

``Offering Audit Shield to our clients has enhanced their customer experience.

The quality product is supported by superior customer service; the Account Managers are attentive and eager to help throughout the process. Any claims are quickly dealt with and once they are submitted, there is nothing further for us to worry about. We really value our partnership with Accountancy Insurance and continue to appreciate the benefits for us and our clients.``

``We were originally attracted to Audit Shield as other policies we've had only covered 'audits'. With Audit Shield there are no arguments with definitions, they are all covered. Our clients see it as a comfort because they know professional fees can be expensive, Audit Shield minimises those costs. There is significant activity and our clients now do not hesitate to engage us to have these queries answered.

I have not hesitation in recommending the services of Accountancy Insurance to any accounting firm.``

Blackburn Prior, Lismore NSW

William Ford, Director

``The benefits of Audit Shield are multi-faceted. The process of explaining insurance helps to articulate to clients what we do versus what we can’t or don’t do. Discussing the ‘elephants in the room’ leaves the client much clearer about their responsibilities. This often results in them improving their own records and habits, when they realise that our ability to get them out of trouble is less than they previously thought. Audit Shield also helps the relationship between ourselves and our clients re-build after the shock and emotionally draining experience of an audit. From the client’s perspective, gratitude is the main feedback we receive about the service. From our business perspective, it is easier to re-arrange workflows and staff resources to accommodate an insured client than an uninsured client. For the sake of your client and yourself, get on board with Accountancy Insurance – it seems a lot of other accountants are offering it already.``

``In terms of 'recoverability' for the time we are required to spend on ATO audit matters, Audit Shield is most certainly beneficial for our firm.

It is not disruptive, we have always had a very pleasant experience dealing with Accountancy Insurance. The people have always been great, and the turnaround time is great. The claims process has been very easy, we know what we need to have, we lodge the claim when we receive it and when they are completed, we'll have the money in our bank account. Our advice to other firms would be, don't be concerned with getting a negative client reaction, as you will get quite the opposite.``

We did have a claim go through the review panel, which was very well handled and was ultimately paid. We have been happy to refer Audit Shield to other accountants, and we have. It is a product that we and our clients see value in, it's pretty unique.``

We were also pleasantly surprised to find that Audit Shield covers a wide range of government enquiries including workers comp and payroll tax, in particular with payroll tax when clients don’t have liability. Only once you have to make an inevitable claim, you realise how important the Audit Shield policy is. We are particularly impressed by how quick claims are paid once lodged.``

When we made a claim, it was a very efficient process. There were very few queries with the paperwork. The system was very streamlined. It took less than 20 minutes to do the paperwork. Our admin person actually said they would like to set up our systems as well as Accountancy Insurance's. It strengthens client relationships and in the situation where we have a new client coming on board, it gives us a competitive advantage against the other accountants that are just offering straight accounting services. It adds to our overall service offered. The whole experience of dealing with Audit Shield has been a positive one. Everyone in the practice feels that way. Recently it has been one of the best value added products we have offered and is so simple to administer.``

``The whole process is very smooth, especially the administration process. All that is required each year, is a small amount of partner time to review the client list prior to the mail out. Even the follow up of our clients is handled by Accountancy Insurance. We have only had a few claims and they have gone through very smoothly. The people at Accountancy Insurance add a personal touch, everyone has been able to answer questions. The extensive cover offered by the policy is a real benefit to our clients.``

``I initially saw a requirement for Audit Shield when a number of clients were being audited at a significant cost, through no fault of their own. Even when an audit results in no adverse findings, clients still incur the accounting fees to defend the issue. I think we'll see an increase in audit activity over the next few years as the Government looks for ways to increase their revenue in economically challenging times. The service provided by Accountancy Insurance has been outstanding, they are professional and proactive.``

The retrospective cover is a huge benefit, as it allows me to offer the service to new clients and ensure that work we may have to do to respond to audits of returns lodged by another accountant is covered. Audit Shield can also be used as a point of difference when speaking to potential clients, as their current accountant may not offer the service.``

We want to see our clients succeed and Audit Shield is a product that can help them to do this.``

“Most clients are unaware of the time-consuming nature of an ATO audit. Audit Shield allows our practice to invoice based on time, without having to explain to clients what is involved and our likely fees in the event of an audit. This saves our practice enormous time and energy. Our clients have expressed their thanks to us for our proactive approach and for taking the time to organise this insurance on their behalf. They are aware of the benefit and cost associated with the insurance, and believe taking up the service far outweighs the risk of worrying about how much our fees may be in the event of an audit. Without hesitation I would absolutely encourage all accounting firms to embrace Audit Shield and offer this to their clients.”

``One of the big benefits of using Audit Shield over the past 3 years has been our ability to do audit work without worrying about a client backlash on fees, nor having write-offs for ATO audits. Any out of pocket expenses have been covered via a very straight forward claim process. Prior to offering Audit Shield, we experienced a number of audits and we became concerned about covering unexpected expenses. With Audit Shield, we now have a level of certainty around our exposure to unwarranted costs, and this has provided peace of mind – for us and for our clients. Initially we were not sure how our clients would react, however we have not had any clients react negatively. Instead we have found that Audit Shield is popular across a range of clients, for example with those clients who worry about having ATO audit activity outside their control.Over 25% of our client base has always taken up Audit Shield. Our philosophy has been that it is our responsibility to let our clients know what services are available, tell them the benefits but then leave them to decide whether or not the offer is right for them. We certainly do not do any 'hard sell'. Offering Audit Shield is easy and takes very little time commitment as the bulk of the work is done by Accountancy Insurance. Our suggestion to other accounting firms who do not yet offer Audit Shield to their clients - spend half an hour of your time with Accountancy Insurance to learn about Audit Shield. It will be one of the best investments you make - for your firm and your clients. Costs of inaction could be higher than costs of action.``

BSM Accountants, Victoria Park WA

``Initially, we partnered with Accountancy Insurance because we were struggling to recover fees from some of our clients in relation to ATO audit response work. Some clients didn't understand the 'value' of this work; we were losing hours and, even more importantly, endangering the relationship we'd worked hard to establish with our clients in the first place. Since implementing the Audit Shield service, our experience with the claims department has been positive and the marketing mail out is all taken care of by Accountancy Insurance. The whole process has been most efficient and accurate. We can report a very good take up rate and we're expecting even more clients to come on board given the increasing ATO scrutiny. Audit Shield is a great value-add service for our practice and our clients share our enthusiasm!``

``In addition to the great peace-of-mind for both our clients and ourselves, we found Audit Shield to be a very important business tool for SMEs. The broad policy is easy to understand and straight forward; all our claims have been settled very quickly and the lodging process is easy. Personally, I love the facts that there is no excess fee and no minimum, as to how much you can claim. This way, there is absolutely no write-off on fees anymore. Also, the client take up rate is high and keeps growing every year! The superior customer service and marketing assistance Accountancy Insurance (AI) provides means that the entire experience has been extremely efficient. You can’t ask for much more than that!``

If you are an accounting firm considering Audit Shield; go for it! Over the past 5 years, our take-up rate has always been at least 20%. Our experience – whether or not a client takes up Audit Shield – has been that people appreciate knowing what is available to them, and the fact that we have gone 'beyond the basics'. Audit Shield is very straight forward to administer, with the majority of work undertaken by Accountancy Insurance. When we have had to make claims, they have always been paid promptly and without a fuss. Our firm has appreciated the personal approach of AI – having had 2 visits from directors in recent months. We would recommend Audit Shield to any WA accounting practices who want to operate as 'best practice' firms.``

``We initially saw Audit Shield as a 'want' rather than a 'must' but this soon changed because of the increased ATO audit activity. In our experience the ATO is getting more sophisticated, using data matching technology to review information from a range of government departments, and other third parties to identify possible risks and errors. For this reason, we have offered Audit Shield to our clients for the past 4 years. Our clients and our firm cannot not be happier with the service we receive from Accountancy Insurance. Accountancy Insurance deliver what they promise with highly efficient implementation and a claims process second to none. The policy is the broadest audit insurance policy we have seen on the market. We find the local WA team to be friendly, helpful and easy to deal with; and our claims have always been paid promptly. We recommend Audit Shield to all accountants who do not have it in their practice yet. If you would like to speak to me about Audit Shield and our experience, please get in touch.``

Moore Australia , Perth WA

Brett Cornwall, Director

``Audit Shield has given us the ability to get the best outcomes for our clients – because we are now effectively funded to produce detailed and thorough responses to any ATO queries and reviews. Our clients know our time cost will be covered by Audit Shield, should they be audited or requested to prove a claim, be it large or small. We thought it was an important insurance coverage to offer clients in light of what is, in our opinion, continuing increased ATO audit activity – both in general and particularly in areas such as GST, cash economy, high wealth individuals and various project based audits. One recent example was a client who had a cash economy audit on the basis of his margins being slightly below ATO business benchmarks. Arguing his position became a complex and expensive process, for which we were able to claim through Audit Shield. Our clients have the comfort of knowing that we can provide the right response to the ATO on their behalf, and that any costs incurred will be reimbursed – be that responding to an audit or securing GST refunds from the ATO. Any feedback we have received from clients has been positive, and we would definitely recommend Audit Shield to other accounting firms. It is important that clients are offered the peace of mind - knowing we can put the time into getting the best outcomes for them in dealing with any ATO audits - without additional unexpected expense.``

Domenic Fulco, Practice Manager

``We signed up for Audit Shield in 2008 and have found the product to be well accepted amongst our clients. Melisa from AI looks after the mailing to the clients, which means we don't have to spend time on it. Recently we have noticed increased activity from the ATO in regards to BAS audits, especially where the client expects a large refund or the ATO sees something a little differently. Notifying a potential claim is easy, it is all done electronically via the web based system. Once the audit is finished, we notify AI, include our invoice and in a majority of cases we are paid within 48 hours. They also remind us regularly on claims that have not been finalised as yet. This is great as it is easy to forget that the audit has finalised so this acts as a good prompt to have the claim finalised. Audit Shield is a good value add to clients and is a sound revenue earner as well. It is a valuable tool to have.``

The client feedback regarding Audit Shield has been very positive too. We most certainly consider Audit Shield a worthwhile offering to our clients. The conversations we now have with clients who have suffered tax audit enquiries are substantially easier thanks to Audit Shield. Most of our clients are comfortable with the fee to participate when they consider the risks. Offering Audit Shield has been a very beneficial exercise for our accounting firm, and is something we plan to continue well into the future.”
