Frequently Asked Questions

Do property companies need an auditor?
Property companies exceeding Companies Act thresholds, those with investor shareholders, and body corporates with annual budgets above R50 million require audits. Property audits are complex due to asset valuations, lease accounting, and complex group structures.
How much does an auditor for a property company cost in South Africa?
Property company audits typically cost R20,000–R80,000 for small portfolios, and R80,000–R300,000+ for large property groups or REITs. Costs depend on portfolio size, number of entities, and property valuation complexity.
Can accounting software replace an auditor for property?
No. Audits provide independent assurance required by law for qualifying companies and by investors for credibility. Clean bookkeeping through Accounter makes audits smoother, but the audit function is a separate assurance service.
