Audit of SMSF for three years at once. Same contravention in year one continues through to the following years. Is there a requirement to do a contrevention report to the ATO for each year or can one be done that includes all of the years.

You have to treat each year as a separate audit - this means completing each year before moving on to the next one.
You need to apply the 7 tests each time to determine whether a contravention is required.
If year 1 was the first instance of the particular breach, and there are no other issues, then the fund passes Test 4 in year 1, but will fail in Years 2 and 3. A contravention report may still be required in year 1, depending on the result of the other 6 tests.
