Assurance
All of our professional personnel and partners are graduates from Quebec’s major universities. Given our constant concern with quality, our members see it as their duty to engage in a continuing education program composed of courses given by the Ordre des comptables professionnels agréés du Québec, along with courses determined according to an internal professional development plan. We therefore ensure that you receive high-quality services that comply with the latest standards in the profession. New members of our team, in particular our candidates, are hand-picked with the goals of harmony and complementarity to ensure maximum stability and skills.
The multidisciplinary team at Petrie Raymond is attentive to your company’s needs when it comes to financial statements. We analyze your needs in order to guide you toward your best option.
Assurance adds to the credibility of your financial information.
You can be confident that your financial statements are presented correctly to respond to your legal or contractual requirements, and you reap valuable information to help you make enlightened business decisions.
By taking advantage of our assurance engagement services, you will be better informed to manage your business’s resources, plan your financial transactions, and communicate with banks, investors, and your partners.
We provide a broad range of services, including, among others:
- Audit of financial statements
- Audit of other financial information
- Review of financial statements
- Review of other financial information
- Audit or review engagement as part of special missions – for example, for grants, project financing, expenses report, etc.
- Direct engagements
- Attestation engagements other than audits or reviews of historical financial information
- Agreed-upon procedures engagements
- Due diligence for business acquisition projects
We accompany a large number of non-profit organizations, including charities, associations, foundations, and condominium associations. Accounting standards and the presentation of financial information are sometimes complex. Our expertise in performing audit of these organizations is recognized and goes back decades.
Compilation Engagement on Financial Information
When you do not need certified financial statements or financial information, Petrie Raymond can proceed to its compilation. We will assist management in the preparation of the compiled financial statements or information in accordance with a basis of accounting selected by management.
A compilation engagement is not an assurance engagement. The engagement does not require us to perform procedures to verify the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by management. Accordingly, the practitioner does not express an audit opinion or a review conclusion, or provide any form of assurance on the compiled financial information.
In addition, at Petrie Raymond, all certified financial statements are reviewed by our quality-control department to ensure that our product complies with the standards in force in the profession but also the high quality standards established by our firm.
