🎙️ On the latest Canadian Securities Exchange podcast, host Anna Serin is joined by Brent Wolfe, Partner and National Director, Public Companies at MNP, for a timely and practical conversation on what public issuers need to know heading into audit season. The discussion breaks down why annual audits have become more complex and costly for venture issuers, what’s driving auditor capacity constraints, and how companies can reduce risk, time, and expense by engaging auditors earlier, planning for complex transactions in advance, and investing appropriately in finance expertise. Anna and Brent also explore upcoming regulatory developments, including IFRS 18 and proposed semi-annual reporting for venture issuers, along with practical advice on audit readiness, use of technology and AI, off-calendar year-ends, and what investors should actually look for when reviewing financial statements. 💬 “The accounting should never drive the business—but if you don’t think about the accounting until April, that’s when problems surface.” — Brent Wolfe Whether you’re a CFO, CEO, director, or advisor to a public company, this episode offers clear, issuer-focused guidance on navigating audits, managing compliance costs, and preparing for what’s ahead in 2026 and beyond. #AlwaysInvested #CSEPodcast #PublicCompanies #AuditSeason #FinancialReporting #VentureIssuers #IFRS18 #CapitalMarkets #CSEListed #InvestorDisclosure
