Protect your clients against additional fees with Audit Shield.
The premise of Audit Shield is very simple. It is a solution offered by a CPA accounting firm that provides for the payment (often this is written off) of professional fees incurred when their client is selected for a review, audit, inquiry, investigation, or examination of filed returns instigated by the CRA and other provincial revenue authorities.
With Audit Shield the accountant and the client can take on a CRA review or audit, side by side, responding in the most thorough way, without the cost or stress being a concern.
