Regional staff are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the region’s financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations, and for such internal control as is determined is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, regional staff is responsible for assessing the Region’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting.

Part of this overseeing is the hiring of an outside firm to conduct the auditing of the financial statment. The auditors’ objectives are to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement and to issue an auditor’s report that includes their opinion.
