Observations

Introduction

Observations in SMSF Sorted are automated validations and checks designed to identify specific compliance situations that may require attention. These observations help ensure that funds are compliant and highlight any issues that need further review or action.
Within the Observations feature, users can take actions such as adding comments, raising queries, creating review points, or marking an observation as OK to indicate no further action is required.

How to View and Manage Observations

Step 1: Navigate to Clients > Manage Jobs > My Jobs. Select the desired Job and head to the Job Dashboard.

  1. Warnings: Highlights validation issues that need attention.
  2. Good to Go: Observations that have passed the validation checks.
  3. Not Applicable: Observations that do not apply to the fund.
  4. Data Not Available: Observations that cannot be run due to missing data or unavailable APIs from respective software.
