CERTIFICATION

Review Engagements (moderate level of assurance):

If an audit is not required by funders, shareholders, or members, it is possible to choose a review engagement, which provides a good level of assurance as to the accuracy of the financial statements.

The objective of a review engagement is to prepare and review financial statements to ensure they are plausible, meaning they are trustworthy and comply with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada. The level of assurance is less than that of an audit (verification).

The chartered professional accountant performing a review must be independent of the client and have a good knowledge of the organization's industry.

Audit – Verification Mission (high level of assurance)

Financial accounting audit is the modern form of control, verification, inspection, and monitoring of accounts, providing a critical dimension. An audit can be internal or external. In the case of an external financial audit, it may be subject to contractual or legal missions.

Audited financial statements are the preferred means by which many companies and organizations report to their creditors, shareholders, and the government.

The preparation of financial statements for audit purposes is the responsibility of the company's or organization's management. The auditor's responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements.

An audit mission minimally includes:

• A review of the internal control system in place within the company or organization
• A report that meets the various expectations of external users
• An evaluation of the entity's financial performance and recommendations for desirable changes

TAXATION

Income Tax

Whether you are an employee, retiree, investor, SME, or large enterprise, we can help you meet your tax obligations throughout the year.

Tax Planning

The objective of tax planning is to organize your affairs to minimize your taxes. There are three ways to reduce your taxes, and each has its own variations. You can reduce your taxable income, increase your deductions, take advantage of tax credits, or a combination of the three.

R&D Credits

The Research and Development (R&D) tax credit program is a financial incentive offered by the federal and provincial governments to encourage innovation, improvement, and the development of new processes within your company. Regardless of your industry, this program reimburses a portion of your investments in research and development (R&D).

Without knowing it, many companies invest in R&D each year and forget to claim the credit. If you improve, invent, or develop new processes, equipment, or products, you may be eligible for the R&D credit.
