Why CPAET
Canada’s first dedicated firm focused exclusively on political financing filing and audit across all levels of government.
Political Financing Is Our Only Focus
Political financing is fundamentally different from ordinary accounting. It is governed by the Canada Election Acts, enforced by the election authorities. CPAET was built with a single focus: political financing compliance — filing and audit — and nothing else.
This exclusive specialization allows us to manage compliance with precision and accountability.
Experience Shaped Inside the Election System
CPAET’s leadership and team bring first-hand experience from within Canada’s election framework. We understand not only what the rules require, but how filings are reviewed, questioned, and audited in practice — particularly in post-election and audit-trigger situations where accuracy matters most.
Built for Compliance, Not Adapted from General Accounting
CPAET was designed specifically for political financing, not adapted from general bookkeeping or tax practices. Our processes, documentation standards, and review workflows are aligned with the election management body’s expectations, ensuring every filing is complete, traceable, and audit-ready.
Fully Online, Responsive, and Structured
CPAET operates as a fully online firm, allowing us to work efficiently with clients across Canada. This structure enables fast response times, clear communication, and timely follow-ups, especially during critical filing and post-election periods.
Each client engagement is handled with care and attention, and every transaction is properly categorized, documented, and reviewed — no matter the size or complexity.
Multidisciplinary Expertise with Practical Technology
Our team brings together CPA-level accounting, internal audit, assurance, data analysis, and technology expertise. AI-assisted validation and automated workflows are used to support consistency, completeness, and deadline management — while professional judgment remains central to every engagement.
Transparent Pricing, No Surprises, No Hidden Fees
Political financing work should never come with hidden fees or unclear scope. CPAET is committed to transparent pricing and clearly defined services, so clients understand what is included, what is required, and how costs are determined — before work begins.
Clear Scope and Professional Independence
CPAET provides political financing filing and political financing audit as distinct professional services, in accordance with independence and ethical requirements. We do not prepare and audit the same financial return. This clear separation protects objectivity, strengthens accountability, and ensures our work stands up to regulatory scrutiny.
Clarity and Confidence for our Clients
For many candidates and other political entities, political financing can feel overwhelming. CPAET provides clear guidance, structured processes, and dependable support, so clients can move forward knowing their compliance is being handled accurately, on time, and with confidence.
A Partner You Can Trust in a High-Risk Environment
Political financing is not just administrative work — it carries personal responsibility and public accountability. CPAET approaches every engagement with the seriousness it deserves, helping clients meet their obligations.
