Trust Accounts & Fund Management
Your secretary in Australia — transparent, compliant, and always accountable.
When you're investing from overseas, one of the biggest challenges isn't finding opportunities — it's moving money safely and legally. How do you transfer $500K to Australia? Who holds it? Who ensures compliance with both countries' regulations?
MPAC acts as your corporate secretary in Australia. We establish trust structures to receive and manage your funds, and ensure every dollar is accounted for with full transparency. Think of us as your financial operations team on the ground.
Here's how business is conducted: all investment decisions are made through formal director and shareholder meetings. These meetings produce official meeting minutes that document every resolution. MPAC's secretary then follows the instructions from those meeting minutes precisely — putting your money to work based on the directors' commands. This means you retain full control over every decision, while we handle the execution, compliance, and reporting on the ground in Australia. Nothing moves without a documented directive from the directors.
The Trust Gap Between Countries
You're sending hundreds of thousands of dollars to a country where you don't have family, don't have a lawyer you trust, and can't read the contracts natively. Wire transfer scams, undisclosed fees, non-compliant structures — the risks are real. And even if everything is legitimate, you need someone who speaks your language, understands your culture, and can operate on your behalf when you're 7,000km away.
How MPAC Manages Your Funds
Trust Account Setup
We establish Australian trust structures with proper legal frameworks. Your funds are held in regulated accounts with full audit trails.
Corporate Secretary Services
We act as your corporate secretary — executing instructions from formal meeting minutes created during director and shareholder meetings. Your directors command, we execute. Every action is documented and traceable.
Cross-Border Compliance
We navigate the regulations of both countries — Australian FIRB requirements, anti-money laundering compliance, and your home country's capital outflow rules.
Transparent Reporting
Monthly statements, real-time transaction updates, and full documentation. You see every dollar in, every dollar out, every fee charged.
Double Tax Agreement (DTA) Optimisation
Australia has DTAs with 40+ countries including Vietnam. We ensure your investment structure maximises treaty benefits — reduced withholding taxes, foreign tax credits, and proper income allocation so you never pay tax twice on the same dollar.
