Regulatory and Compliance
Ensuring regulatory compliance is critical to managing risk and increasing shareholder value. Legislators in both Canada and the United States are demanding increased management accountability through the establishment of an effective system of internal controls.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the US and the Canadian rules under Bill 198 have been a source of much discussion in the media and in boardrooms since their introduction. These rules and regulations have heightened management’s awareness regarding corporate governance.
