SMSFs
Winding Up a Self-Managed Super Fund
The practical records and coordination required when an SMSF is being brought to an orderly close.
Why this matters
Closing an SMSF is an administrative and compliance process, not simply a decision to stop investing. Trustees need to deal with the fund's assets, liabilities, member benefits, records and final reporting in the correct order.
What to organise
Prepare a complete asset and liability list, records of member balances, investment documents, bank activity and outstanding obligations. Keep the timeline of trustee decisions and professional instructions clear.
When to seek tailored support
Work with an SMSF specialist on the planned sequence for finalising the fund. Ask what needs to happen before accounts are closed and what records must still be retained after wind-up.
