-
Auditors are flagging files where the only evidence of a fund's crypto is a spreadsheet of transactions or an exchange holding statement — neither proves the fund actually owns and still holds those coins.
-
The ATO calls this a common flaw across SMSF audit files, and new guidance will ask auditors to independently check wallet balances against the public blockchain, not just take a trustee's word for it.
-
Without that evidence, an auditor has little choice but to modify the audit report or refer the fund on — turning a missing document into a compliance problem for an otherwise healthy fund.
How Holdproof works
Holdproof turns the exchange accounts and wallets a fund already holds into a signed, timestamped ownership record cross-checked against the blockchain itself — the one document auditors say is missing, not another tax calculator.
-
01
Connect each fund's exchange account or wallet address with read-only access — no private keys, no trading permissions.
-
02
Holdproof takes a signed, timestamped snapshot of every balance and cross-checks it against the public blockchain.
-
03
Download the finished evidence pack and hand it straight to your fund's auditor — built to answer the exact ownership and existence questions they're required to ask.

What people are saying
Real quotes from public reviews and forums, with names removed. None are about Holdproof — it isn't available yet.
We're seeing some files where the trustees have just given their auditors an Excel spreadsheet with a bunch of crypto transactions.
just relying on the holding statements from the crypto exchanges to verify existence and ownership when we expect them to do some additional substantive testing
We often find a holding statement on the audit file, but no other evidence [and] the holding statement alone isn't sufficient to support ownership and existence
