Hooking up the pipes
A good audit starts with good data. We save you time and reduce business disruptions with seamless and flexible data capture. This helps free up your people from doing the manual work to focus on solving more sophisticated business problems.
We work with the major Canadian service providers to be able to directly extract and aggregate data in the right format from different platforms so that they can feed into our audit and tax processes. Our Connect platform provides secure, real-time information sharing at every stage of the audit and measures its progress on a dashboard you can view. We’ve also adopted tools that are more agile and flexible to connect and aggregate data from different platform sources.

Smarter risk assessment
Automation is already making audits faster, smarter and driving better insights and client experiences. For example, instead of sample-testing, process automation can analyze all transactions and data points quicker than ever before. Through AI, any problems are remembered by the machine, which then learns and applies the learning to the next data set.
Halo for Funds is revolutionizing audits by harnessing the power of data. Our data auditing suite lets us analyze your data to better spot anomalies and areas of potential risk.
