R&D Health Check

Our R&D Health Check is a structured engagement designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of ongoing and planned R&D activities within your company.

An R&D Health Check will:

• provide an estimate of the benefits available through relevant Federal and State Government incentive programs (such as the R&D Tax Incentive);

• educate your key technical and financial staff in techniques for identifying and documenting of eligible R&D projects; and where required

• outline strategies for effectively scoping future R&D projects so that associated compliance costs of accessing government incentive programs are minimised.

A typical R&D Health Check involves an on-site presentation on R&D to your key technical and financial staff, a session to identify current and planned R&D projects, and a series of follow-up interviews with relevant technical staff.

We then prepare and supply a detailed report which sets out:

• all eligible R&D activities conducted in the reviewed financial year;

• the net (after tax) benefit of grant funding options available for the eligible R&D projects we have identified;

• opportunities for increased claims and any exposures to risk;

• opportunities for recovery of under-claimed R&D activities (R&D Tax Concession/Incentive ) in earlier year(s)

As a final component of the Health Check, BSI Innovation consultants can also provide a further detailed presentation of the report, together with a commentary on the process to senior management or the Board of your company where required.
