Switching auditors
Changing auditors takes one board decision. We handle the rest.
Boards often stay with an auditor they are unhappy with because switching sounds risky. In practice, the new auditor does almost all of the work.
Four steps
How the switch actually works
01
Request a proposal
A fixed fee and timeline within two business days.
02
Owners appoint us at the AGM
Under the Condominium Act, owners appoint the auditor. We give you suggested motion wording.
03
We contact the prior auditor
With your consent, we request working papers and opening balances. A routine professional handover.
04
Your first audit with us
Your manager receives our checklist before year-end. Same process every year after.
What your board actually does: review the proposal, add the appointment to the AGM agenda, and sign one consent letter.
What stays the same, and what gets better
Stays the same
- Your property manager and management company
- Your bank, investments and accounting system
- Your fiscal year-end
- How owners receive the statements
Gets better
- A fixed fee agreed upfront
- A dated checklist before year-end
- One consolidated list of questions
- A plain-language walkthrough for the board
When can we switch?
Owners normally appoint the auditor at the AGM, so most switches take effect for the next year-end. If your current auditor resigns or the position is vacant, different rules apply.
Will our current auditor cooperate?
Yes. A professional handover between auditors is standard practice and expected under professional rules.
Is there extra cost in the first year?
Your proposal states the fee upfront, including any first-year work on opening balances.
Do we need to tell our current auditor first?
Not before you have a proposal. Once the board decides, we will guide you on the notice and consent letter.
