What We Offer

Audit Engagements

Full-scope independent audits performed under Canadian Auditing Standards. We test balances, transactions, and controls, then issue a formal opinion on whether your financial statements are presented fairly in all material respects.

Review Engagements

Limited assurance under CSRE 2400, based on analytical procedures and inquiry of management. A review is often accepted by lenders and costs considerably less than an audit, making it the right fit for many private companies.

Compilation Engagements

Financial statements compiled under CSRS 4200 from your internal records. No assurance is expressed, but the statements are professionally presented and suitable for tax filing, internal use and many smaller lending arrangements.

Special Reports & Agreed-Upon Procedures

Targeted reports on specific accounts, transactions or compliance requirements, such as franchise royalty reporting, grant reconciliations or lease covenant calculations, prepared to the terms agreed with you and the receiving party.

Internal Controls Assessment

A structured review of how cash, inventory, payroll and approvals are managed in your business. We identify weaknesses that expose you to error or fraud and recommend practical improvements proportionate to your size.

Due Diligence & Acquisition Reporting

Independent verification of revenue, earnings, working capital and liabilities before a purchase, sale or investment. Our findings give buyers, sellers and lenders a reliable basis for negotiating price and terms.

How Our Audit Process Works

We follow a structured, transparent process from initial planning through to final report delivery, keeping you informed at every stage.

01

Initial Planning & Scoping

We meet with your team to understand the business, identify significant accounts and risks, and set materiality. The scope, timeline, fee and document requirements are agreed in writing before fieldwork begins, so there are no surprises in cost or schedule.

02

Risk Assessment & Fieldwork

Senior CPAs evaluate internal controls, test transactions and balances, and document all evidence in our working papers. Requests for information are consolidated to minimize disruption to your staff. Where practical, much of the testing is completed remotely through secure document sharing.

03

Management Communication

Control deficiencies, proposed adjustments and other concerns are raised as soon as they are identified. Early communication allows issues to be resolved during fieldwork and prevents last-minute delays. Management has the opportunity to respond before any matter is reflected in the final report.

04

Reporting & Delivery

We issue the auditor’s report, review engagement report or compilation report with your financial statements. Our team walks you through the findings and recommendations before the statements are released to stakeholders. We also remain available to answer questions from your bank, surety or board after delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

An audit is usually required by a shareholder agreement, lending covenant, surety, funding agreement, regulation or corporate bylaws. Many private companies need only a review or compilation. We review your agreements during a consultation and confirm which engagement applies before you commit to any work.

An audit provides reasonable assurance through detailed testing of balances, transactions and controls, and results in a formal opinion. A review provides limited assurance based mainly on analytical procedures and inquiry. A review is less extensive and less costly, and is often sufficient for private company lenders.

Among audit firms in Vaughan, a local practice offers faster response times, more accessible senior staff and fees aligned with private businesses. At Spectrum CPAs, the same senior team works with you from planning through reporting, with the technical standards expected of a much larger firm.

Most small and mid-sized audits are completed within four to eight weeks from the start of fieldwork. The timeline depends on the size of the business, the condition of its records and the availability of supporting documents. Reviews and compilations are generally completed more quickly.

Yes. We provide audits and review engagements for nonprofit organizations, registered charities and condominium corporations, in line with ASNPO, CRA charity requirements and the Ontario Condominium Act. Our team understands the reporting expectations of boards, members and funders.
