Address the following areas in your explanation: What is a trust account? (20-30 words) A trust account is a financial account that holds funds on behalf of the client or a third party. Why must we have separate accounts for property sales and property management? (20-30 words) Managing separate accounts makes it easier to correctly meet different tax obligations. Also, it is so they do not mix them up, property sales account holds deposits and property management acoount holds rental money and bonds. Why can we not put that money in our general account? (30-50words) Because it is money that you are handling on behalf of someone else, such as rental payments or bond payment unlike non-trust money where it is paid directly to you.

(b) What is the difference between sales trust money, property management trust money and general business trading money? Provide two examples for each type of trust money to support your analysis. (150 - 200 words) Sales trust money is all the money held on behalf of vendors and buyers such as deposits and money received in advance for property marketing. Property management trust money is money held on behalf of the landlord such as security deposit, any expenses paid in advance and rent. Genral business trust money is money held such as salaries, office supplies and commission paid to employees. 4. Different Australian states and territories have different rules and regulations when it comes to trust accounts. What are the rules when a licensee opens a bank account with an approved financial institution in NSW? (100 - 150 words) - Licensees need to notify the aiuthorised deposit-taking institution in writing that the account is a ‘trust account’. - If the trust account is held by a corporation, the account must be in the name of the corporation. - The name of the licensee, firm or corporation needs to appear as a prefix of the account name, foolowed by any other necessary identifier of the trust account. - The words ‘trust account’ must also appear in the name of the trust account and all cheques drawn on the trust account. 5. According to the Property and Stock Agents Regulation 2014 (NSW) , licensees can keep manual or computerised trust accounts. (a) Analyse and list two records of trust account transactions that must be kept by a licensee. (150 - 200 words) Licensee must maintain regular bank reconciliation statements that reconcile the trust account ledger with the corresponding bank statements. This process involves comparing the entries in the ledger with the transactions recorded by the bank, identifying any discrepancies, and ensuring that the ending balance in the ledger matches the banks balance and money coming and going. A licensee is required to maintain a log of all daily payments and receipts for money coming into and going out of their trust account. The document should resemble a cash book with sequentially numbered pages that display the following information on their corresponding pages: (a) the order in which the receipts were issued or canceled, and (b) the sequence in which the checks were drawn or canceled, and (c) the sequential reference numbers or other methods of transfer identification in the event that monies were received or disbursed via electronic funds transfer. The licensee shall record the information required by subsection 24(3) for a check and by clause 24(5) for an electronic funds transfer in the record whenever monies are sent out of the trust account. The licensee shall balance the cash book or other record at the end of each designated month and do the following: (a) The licensee is required to provide a statement at the conclusion of each designated month that compares the amount of the licensee's trust account to the balance of the relevant cash book or other record.
