2. Assurance and Accounting | BDO
At BDO, we are more than a list of services. We’re a dedicated team of industry-wide
professionals who offer real-time strategies for everything from growing pains and
bookkeeping woes to financial insecurities and forecasting.

financial statements that project feasible goals for your future.
BIG DECISIONS RELY ON SOUND
ADVICE. THAT’S WHY YOUR NUMBERS
SHOULD BE IN ORDER AND YOUR
FINANCIALS IN CHECK.
Our three levels of service
Our three-step service of compilation, review, and audit means you
get the personalized services you need to meet your business goals
every step of the way.
Compilation: We thrive on bringing everything together —
numbers, books and plans for the future. Trust us to compile your
financial results, present them professionally in easily readable
formats, and provide you with the specific information you need to
make smart business decisions.
Review: Sometimes a fresh perspective is the ideal perspective.
Consider having your financial statements reviewed if bankers,
outside shareholders and others rely on them to make decisions
that can affect your business. At BDO, we look over your figures for
plausibility in accordance with GAAP, then issue a report outlining
our process.
Audit: In an unpredictable business environment, growing
organizations need a safety net. The best way to find security is
in an audit. Our audit approach is planned and proactive, as we

focus on your financial statements and related accounting records.
We then carry out tests to verify your figures and analyze the
reasons for your account fluctuations. In the end, you benefit from
credible statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, that
identify areas for improvement and alert you of concerns.
International Financial Reporting Standards
Our professionals are ready to help you prepare for the transition to
IFRS. We offer high quality audit and consulting services, in addition
to other advisory services, to assist your company in becoming
IFRS compliant. We are up-to-date on the latest information and
procedures involved in this transition in order to provide our clients
with the best possible services.
Accounting and other services
While BDO is well known for our assurance and accounting
services, we also offer the following niche services to meet your
specific needs.
Special reports: Oftentimes, our clients find themselves in unique
situations where they must provide a lender, landlord, or business
partner with a special report. Whatever your request — from
audited statement of sales to a year-in-review report, etc. — we
can help.
Review of interim financial statements: At BDO, we also provide
interim reviews to permit timely consideration of significant
accounting matters. This provides an opportunity for early
resolution of issues affecting the annual financial statements.
Review of other financial information: Although we’re “details
people” by nature, we like to step back once in a while and look
at the big picture. The more issues we spot now, the bigger your
opportunities will be in the future.
Bookkeeping: Sometimes, all you need is a little organization.
Our professionals are happy to help with your bookkeeping
needs — after all, we like to make sense of your numbers.
Around the world
As part of BDO’s worldwide network of public accounting firms, our
Canadian member firm has access to more than 1,000 offices in
over 100 countries. We are the fifth largest accounting and advisory
network in the world, with a full range of related services tailored
to each respective locale. If your business needs to expand to the
global marketplace, BDO Member Firms across the globe can work
together to seamlessly meet your business needs.
Management letters: Working closely with our clients gives our
professionals a front-seat view of behind-the-scenes business. They
can pinpoint possible risks and future opportunities, then compile
them into a periodic management letter to keep you informed.
Other types of audit: Audits don’t have to be financial. If you
know your business is growing but aren’t sure that your technology
can keep pace, consult our IT professionals. They can examine your
system, compare it with industry standards, and suggest areas of
risk and points for improvement.

accounting trends and business patterns. We strive to learn your business so we can provide customized compilation, review, or assurance strategies that help ensure
your continued success.
