BDO Canada releases Audit Quality Report 2024-2025

BDO Canada releases its 2024-2025 Audit Quality Report, underscoring the firm's commitment to maintaining and enhancing the quality of its audit and assurance services.

As Canada's business landscape evolves, BDO remains focused on delivering quality engagements and upholding quality service for all clients and stakeholders.

The report outlines how quality is demonstrated by BDO through the firm's governance and leadership, talent and culture, audit process, and focus on evolving technology. There are three key areas that BDO's audit quality is centered around: pursuit of high-quality clients, complemented by a rigorous client acceptance process; specialization in various industries and sectors to efficiently perform risk-based audits; and a commitment to gain a deep understanding of each client's business operations, which allows BDO to be thorough and thoughtful.

"Quality management is an ongoing journey, and we are continuously raising the bar. We work as one team, and at every level, each member helps drive quality for the firm, ensuring alignment and consistency throughout every deal."
Jeanny Gu, Managing Partner, Assurance

BDO recognizes that every individual, from senior leadership to partners and employees, plays a vital role in quality management, making it a cornerstone of all business areas.

"Each of us plays an important role in consistently delivering quality. Our firm-wide commitment to consistency enables us to provide high-quality assurance engagements, which not only gives us the opportunity to excel in the marketplace but also attract and retain top talent, fulfilling our promise of quality."
Jonathan Chasle, Head of Assurance Quality and Professional Standards

Chasle is also a member of BDO Global's Audit Quality Committee. Established in 2024, the committee promotes quality across the firm and develops global initiatives to enhance its audit and assurance practices.

While the future of audit continues to evolve, the firm's commitment to people and clients will remain consistent. BDO is eager to continue its journey of advancing quality management and integrating new technologies into its auditing processes.
