Everything Brisbane law firms need to know about external examiners, Queensland Law Society compliance, and trust account audit regulations
Get started with your trust account audit
Brisbane's rapidly growing legal sector operates under Queensland Law Society regulations. All law practices holding trust money must engage QLS-approved external examiners for annual audits under the Legal Profession Act 2007.
Every Brisbane law practice receiving trust money must have an annual external examination. The examination period is April 1 to March 31 each year, and the report must be submitted by May 31. External examiners must be approved by Queensland Law Society and meet strict professional standards.
Brisbane's expanding economy drives high demand for conveyancing, commercial, and development work - creating substantial trust account volumes.
Strong property market means conveyancing firms handle large trust balances requiring experienced external examiners familiar with PEXA and high-value transactions.
