Engagement Terms

Engagement Terms

The basis on which we provide information and deliver work.

General information only

The content on this website is general information only. It is not personal financial, tax, legal or technology advice, and it does not take account of your particular circumstances. You should not act on it without seeking advice specific to your situation.

Engagements are in writing

Any AI strategy, build, governance or advisory work is performed only under a signed engagement with Local Knowledge Pty Ltd that sets out the scope, deliverables, limitations and fees. Nothing on this website creates an engagement or a client relationship on its own.

You own it; we own the judgement

We build AI systems your business owns — the models, the data and the workflow — delivered in-house by Local Knowledge Pty Ltd under a signed engagement. A CPA reviews the decisions that matter. We do not hand your data or your decisions to a black box you rent and can never take with you, and we do not provide legal advice; where a matter is reserved to a lawyer, we will say so and arrange it independently.

Reasonable assurance, not a guarantee

Strategy, build, governance and assurance work reduce risk to a reasonable level based on the records, evidence and scope agreed — they are not a guarantee of a particular outcome, that a model will perform in every situation, or that a value, tax position or claim will be accepted by every buyer, financier, auditor or regulator. An AI system requires ongoing governance; it is never “set and forget”.

Your responsibilities

The usefulness of any AI system, R&D claim or advice depends on the completeness and accuracy of the records, data and information you provide. You remain responsible for your own compliance obligations, including maintaining contemporaneous records and meeting lodgement deadlines, except to the extent expressly agreed in an engagement.

Professional standards

Our work is performed in accordance with the applicable professional and ethical standards. Where a conflict or a matter reserved to a lawyer or another qualified professional arises, we will decline the work or arrange it independently rather than compromise that standard.

Professional Standards Scheme

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

Local Knowledge Pty Ltd participates in the CPA Australia Professional Standards Scheme. The scheme limits the civil liability of participating practitioners for professional services, subject to its terms.
