If your company is listed on the TSX™ then you are required by National Instrument 52-109 (NI 52-109) Certification of Issuer’s Annual and Interim Filings to have your CEO and CFO certify as to accuracy of your company’s financial statements as well as the effectiveness of your financial and disclosure controls. In today’s economic environment you need a partner in compliance that can save your time and your company’s capital. You need COMPLIANCE PARTNER®.

The COMPLIANCE PARTNER® software product for both NI 52-109 and SOX 404 compliance provides your organization with a COSO-based, step-by-step approach, incorporating a wide variety of controls content, testing procedural tools, and special compliance built functionality in an easy-to-use and affordable software product.
A Proven Solution Recommended by CFOs and Audit Committees
COMPLIANCE PARTNER® comes highly recommended by TSX™ based CFOs and Audit Committee members as the leading solution for meeting the requirements of NI 52-109, as well as SOX 404 for those organizations that are dual listed.

Meet Initial Requirements & Provide A Sustainable Foundation
COMPLIANCE PARTNER® provides an integrated platform to reduce the cost of controls design, documentation and testing. Customers report one year cost savings of as much as 50%, and further cost reductions of up to 65% in year two and beyond. The product allows you to manage your internal time requirements more effectively while reducing the need for expensive external resources or large-scale software projects.
Top-Down Risk Based Approach Utilizing the COSO Framework
Streamline your control design and testing activities by using our top-down risk based scoping tools to identify risk both quantitatively and qualitatively. Provide presentation quality output to your CFO and audit committee.
Rich Internal Control and Disclosure Control Templates That Can Be Customized
We have spent over six years developing hundreds of best practice templates covering the design and testing of entity-level controls (such as audit committee effectiveness, tone-at-the-top leadership, etc), process-level controls (such as revenue, disbursements, IT controls, etc), as well as disclosure controls and procedures. Modify the content to suit your business environment. Quickly integrate and import your existing control documentation and testing results to provide a complete platform to manage and rapidly deploy your control infrastructure.
Design and Document Controls
Most organizations use a mixture of Excel®, Word®, Visio® and other tools to manage their NI 52-109 documentation. The result is costly maintenance and incomplete and neglected documentation that undermines your control infrastructure and the CEO/CFO certification. COMPLIANCE PARTNER® provides an integrated means to rapidly design and document controls with control narratives, attributes, financial statement assertions, risks and more. As your organization changes it is simple to make and deploy the updated information and to keep your control structure valid. Immediately send out reports or automatically create Visio® flowcharts to highlight control and segregation of duties issues.
Test Controls and Remediate Deficiencies
Only COMPLIANCE PARTNER® provides you with a comprehensive set of testing templates across all key financial controls processes including IT controls. Use the product to develop an effective testing strategy and supporting procedures and then create field ready documentation to undertaking the evaluation of the required controls. Report testing results and identify control deficiencies. Develop and implement remediation plans. Report to your Audit Committee. COMPLIANCE PARTNER® makes the tough work easier.
