Designated External Examiners | Law Society of ACT

Canberra law practices serving Australia's capital operate under ACT Law Society regulations. All practices must engage approved external examiners for annual trust account audits. Costs range from $1,500 - $3,500 for most practices. Canberra's unique market focuses on government, administrative law, and federal litigation work. The examination period is April 1 to March 31 each year, and external examiners must be approved by ACT Law Society and complete reports by May 31.
