What We Do
Internal audit services
Engagements scoped to what your organization actually needs — from a single-cycle audit to ongoing co-sourced capacity.
Risk Assessment & ERM
Enterprise risk assessments and risk-based audit planning that identify and prioritize your most significant exposures.
Internal Controls Review
Evaluation and testing of control design and operating effectiveness across financial, operational, and compliance processes.
Compliance & Regulatory Audits
Audits assessing adherence to applicable laws, regulations, policies, and grant or funding agreement terms.
Audit Co-Sourcing & Staff Augmentation
Flexible, project-based support for internal audit departments needing extra capacity or specialized skills without a full-time hire.
Process & Operational Audits
Reviews of operational processes to surface inefficiencies, control gaps, and concrete opportunities for improvement.
Public Sector Focus
Built for government engagements
Independent & Objective
No conflicting client relationships. You work directly with the practitioner on every engagement — not a rotating bench of junior staff.
Standards-Aligned
Engagements are grounded in the IIA's International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF), with COSO and ISO 31000 informing risk and controls work.
British Columbia-Based
Operating out of British Columbia and available for provincial, municipal, and federal engagements across Canada.
Lean & Responsive
A focused practice built to move at the pace government timelines demand, without large-firm overhead built into the fee.
