Easily stay compliant with super payments Plus and Premier, Australia only SuperStream compliance is kicking in on 1 July 2015 for Australian businesses that have 20 or more employees. AccountRight has been SuperStream compliant for a while now, and thousands of businesses are already happily paying super using this quick, easy and integrated service. In this release, in addition to APRA-regulated superannuation funds, you can now pay Self Managed Funds (commonly abbreviated to SMSF). This means you can use the Pay Superannuation feature to pay all of your employees’ funds, whether they use retail or self-managed funds. No paperwork, complete authorisation control, no other portals or banking websites to log into, or reports to print and send. Pay Superannuation is the easiest way to stay compliant. So get onto it now if you haven’t already (it’s free with your AccountRight subscription!).

PERFORMANCE  Printing invoices with multiple lines (especially those with 10 or more) is now much faster.  Printing a batch of pay slips takes much less time to complete. IMPROVEMENTS  The Journal Audit Security and Session Security Audit reports now display times in your local time zone, rather than UTC/GMT time.  When entering timesheets, you can now display a calculator using the keyboard.
