Why This Guide Matters for Your RTO
If your RTO is CRICOS registered, the Education Agent Commissions Data Collection is mandatory by 30 October 2026. This isn't optional—every provider must respond, including those with nothing to report. The challenge? The PRISMS template only asks for final numbers, but getting there requires you to make critical decisions about commission classification, student counting, GST removal, and reconciliation to your accounts. Many providers struggle with exactly where to draw the line between direct and indirect payments, and one wrong call can throw off your entire submission. This practical guide walks you through the real-world complexity, giving you the clarity you need to lodge with confidence.
About Khushboo Gupta
Hi, I'm Khushboo Gupta, a Chartered Accountant and CPA who specializes in helping RTOs navigate CRICOS compliance. Over the years, I've worked with dozens of providers tackling exactly this challenge—figuring out which agent payments go where, how to count students correctly, and how to reconcile everything back to their accounts. I created this guide because I kept seeing the same confusion points come up again and again. I wanted to give providers a clear, practical resource they could use right now, without needing to hire a consultant. If you want more hands-on support applying this to your specific records, I also offer one-to-one coaching sessions and help setting up the SKG capture tool to turn your accounting lines into PRISMS-ready data. But first, grab the guide—it'll give you the foundation you need.
