What does a late audit actually cost?
Late lodgement, a rushed auditor, and a tax return filed on guesses.
The audit starts when the books are finished — and they rarely are
- Auditor fieldwork waiting on missing records
- Late lodgement exposure with SSM
- Form C prepared before the audited figures exist
Six months after year end arrives faster than the ledger closes.

The audit deadline is not the accounting deadline
The books must be closed well before the audit is due.
An audit takes time, so the real deadline for the books is the statutory date minus the audit itself and the query round-trips.
Treat the lodgement date as the target and the books will always be late.
Plan backwards from the lodgement date
Close, audit, circulate, lodge — each with its own date.

Why start before the year end?
Because the audit window is fixed by the statutory date, not by when the books happen to be finished.
Can I appoint my own auditor?

Questions, answered
What is OCTIS?
OCTIS does your accounting and bookkeeping, audit and tax. Licensed accountants check the work, and company secretary services are available on the same account.
Is the lowest price guarantee real? How does it work?

Is the money-back guarantee real? How does it work?

How does OCTIS help me get more done?
One app and one chat instead of a firm for each service. You upload a document once, and you see where every order stands without asking.
How does OCTIS help me cut extra costs?
We automate the whole process, so your company's compliance and the back-and-forth cost less to run. That is why we can charge less and deliver faster. A live company health check in the app also shows where you are spending more than you should, alerts you, and suggests a better option that costs less.
How does OCTIS help me keep risk under control?
Reminders for your company's deadlines, so nothing is missed, and a professional legal team when you need one.
Is everything in OCTIS done by AI?
No. Licensed professionals do the work. AI helps them work faster, and helps you understand and analyse your own company quickly.
