This quick overview helps trustees and owners assess whether their scheme meets key legal and regulatory requirements — and whether it may be time to reconsider your current managing agent.
We look at essential areas such as governance, compliance, financial health, maintenance planning, and service quality. A well-managed scheme should:
Hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) every year, with accurate dates recorded.
Maintain signed financial statements for the previous financial year.
Be fully registered with CSOS and up to date with annual CSOS returns.
Have registered and approved conduct rules lodged with CSOS.
Keep an approved 10-year maintenance plan in place.
Conduct an insurance replacement valuation at least every three years.
Be registered for tax and submit annual returns timeously.
Maintain a healthy reserve fund aligned with legislative requirements.
Ensure all municipal accounts are in the scheme’s name and up to date.
Receive prompt, efficient communication and professional service from the managing agent.
If your scheme falls short in any of these areas, it may signal non-compliance — or that your managing agent is not meeting the required standard.
