Audit, Reviews and Other Assurance Services
An audit is the highest level of assurance we provide. All our audits are done in accordance with Canadian Auditing Standards (CAS). The report page provides an opinion on the financials based on discussion, analytics, and substantive testing of source documentation.
A review is a limited assurance engagement. All our reviews are done under Canadian Standards for Review Engagements (CSRE 2400). The report page does not provide an opinion, but instead notes any matters that came to our attention. Procedures are largely analytics and discussion with management.
Other assurance engagements we offer include compliance engagements such as video production audits, lawyer trust account audits, and project audits.
Compilations and Tax Services
A compilation offers no assurance and is based on financial information provided by management. These are governed by Canadian Standards on Related Services (CSRS 4200). We will typically adjust for obvious errors. Statements typically include minimal notes and are prepared to meet tax filing requirements.
We offer tax preparation both as part of other engagements or as a stand-alone service. Our office prepares hundreds of annual returns each year. Our general practice tax preparation includes filings for all levels of a groups structure with corporate returns (T2), annual slips (T4s / T5s), personal returns (T1), trust returns (T3), partnership returns (T5013), non-profit information returns (T1044), charity returns (T3010), and various elections.
