The duration of an audit depends on the size and complexity of your business. A standard internal financial audit typically takes 2-3 weeks from initial consultation to final report delivery. For larger organizations or more complex audits, the timeline may extend to 4-6 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during our initial consultation.

For a comprehensive audit, we typically require financial statements, general ledger, bank statements, accounts receivable and payable aging reports, inventory records, fixed asset schedules, and relevant policies and procedures. Our team will provide a detailed document request list tailored to your specific audit type and business needs.

We maintain strict confidentiality protocols for all client information. Our secure data portal uses enterprise-grade encryption for file transfers. All team members sign confidentiality agreements, and we implement access controls to ensure only authorized personnel can view your data. We're also fully compliant with Canadian privacy regulations.
