Our fees always seem to have an adjustment for work for new standards or legalisation – why can’t this be in the scale fees to provide certainty?

Local audit regulations require PSAA to set the fee scale before 1 December of the financial year to which the audit fees relate. This deadline often precedes full visibility of the impact of any changes.

If a change in audit requirements is substantial and we can reliably estimate the additional fees, we will incorporate them into the fee scale as soon as possible. Please note that we do not include contingencies within scale fees.
