Simeoni always provides us with a reliable and professional service throughout the audit period and post audit on follow up matters. All identified issues reached a prompt resolution and most importantly the attitude from the audit team was always positive and supportive. I felt the whole process was well managed and the auditors were most helpful, informative and friendly. We will continue to work with the Simeoni audit team in the future.Deanne Bennett. Managing Director at Bennett Property Management Pty Ltd.
