Audit & Advisory Services for Charities & Nonprofits in Canada
At Lekadir LLP, we specialize in auditing and advisory services for not-for-profit organizations (NFPOs) across Canada. We understand that charities, foundations, associations, and cultural institutions operate with a mission, not a profit motive. That’s why our tailored audit approach helps nonprofits meet complex reporting, compliance, and donor accountability requirements while staying focused on impact.
Why Not-for-Profits Choose Us
Experts in Canadian Nonprofit Financial Audits
Our audit professionals bring in-depth knowledge of the Canadian not-for-profit sector, including charity law, CRA requirements and the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act. We’ve worked with clients of all sizes, from volunteer-run community initiatives to large, national nonprofit organizations.
Risk-Focused Audits that Meet CRA and CPA Canada Standards
We conduct our audits in accordance with Canadian Auditing Standards (CAS) and apply the Accounting Standards for Not-for-Profit Organizations (ASNPO), which govern financial reporting, contribution recognition and fund accounting for NPOs. These standards guide our evaluation of compliance and transparency.
Our risk-based audit methodology addresses common issues like:
Misuse of restricted or deferred contributions
Fraud risks from cash donations or pledges
Weak internal controls in small teams
Inadequate financial oversight by volunteer boards
Regulatory compliance gaps
We customize audit procedures to your funding model, governance structure and reporting obligations.
Materiality That Reflects Your Reality
Nonprofits are accountable to funders, boards, members and the public. We apply a materiality framework that emphasizes transparency in expenditures, grant usage and compliance, not just financial outcomes.
