If you are going to commit a tax fraud, there is not time limit for the Commissioner to amend an assessment.
Advisers are subject to a higher duty of care and consequently subject to more severe penalties.
If just one trustee of a particular "adviser" is audited and found to have falsified their resolutions, then the chances are that all their clients will be treated as "high risk" by the ATO.
Trustees are also subject to a higher duty of care under trust law, and leave themselves personally liable to actions by beneficiaries, as well as ASIC (if corporate).
This thread started off being educational.
