Professional Standards
As our clients trust us to deliver solutions that impact their financial reporting process, it is imperative that our internal controls are up to the highest standards. To this end, we have obtained a successful CSAE 3416 audit report to give our clients peace of mind. The CSAE 3416 is issued by the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board as part of a new Canadian Standard on Assurance Engagements. It replaces the Auditor's Report on Controls at a Service Organization, CICA 5970, which was the previous standard in Canada for performing independent assurance engagements.

Reliability, privacy, and security are crucial to the financial industry. This is why we choose to deliver our mission-critical investment applications only from the most secured and advanced data centres across private communication lines and through encrypted technology over the internet.
