Scounge.au

scrounge.au is an on-shore Australian forensic accounting and compliance platform engineered for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), corporate advisors, and accountants. The platform automates complex forensic audits of transaction data to isolate critical statutory risk indicators, protecting businesses from severe regulatory penalties and back-pay liabilities before the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) or Fair Work Ombudsman initiates formal investigations. Core Audit Engines & Features Superannuation Guarantee (SG) Shortfall Audit: The platform ingests inconsistent, unstructured payroll CSV data and uses fuzzy logic algorithms to align disparate headers across Wages and Super records. It accurately reconstructs historical contribution timelines, recalculating precise liabilities, nominal interest, and administration fees under the SG charge framework to uncover hidden shortfalls. Payday Super Cashflow Assessment: Ahead of the July 1, 2026 legislative transition, scrounge.au models current cleared payroll frequency against the mandated real-time payment frequency. The engine delivers a cashflow shortfall analysis, forecasting the working capital strain required to match immediate superannuation clearings and preventing structural breaches. Sham Contracting & Employee Risk Profiling: By parsing contractor transaction histories, frequency, and payment consistency, the system evaluates contractor arrangements against the evolving Fair Work employee reclassification standards. It quantifies the financial exposure of worker misclassification, including unpaid leave entitlements and payroll tax gaps. The Forensic Output For a fixed pricing structure of $179 per audit, users execute a secure, local fulfillment chain: run_forensic_scan, generate_pdf_report, and send_forensic_report. The resulting comprehensive PDF report delivers a detailed expense breakdown, multi-period revenue trend analysis, and strategic actionable insights. https://scrounge.au
