New Business: President, Mike MacRAE

Ontario has updated the rules for not-for-profit corporations under the Not-for-Profit Corporations Act, 2010 (ONCA), that came into effect October 13 2021.: Under the new regulations, some non-profit public benefit corporations (like us) that have a revenue between $100K and $500K (like us) will be allowed to use a “review engagement” in place of an audit.

This less stringent and less expensive look at our operations is now recommended under the Not-for-Profit Corporations Act, 2010.

This audit that we have reviewed today for 2020 cost the organization $10,283. The only funder that currently requires a full audit is the Ontario Ministry of Seniors for the operating funding they provide us - $42,700. The audit cost nearly 25% of the funds they contribute for the year.

The approval to waive an audit in favour of a review engagement requires an extraordinary resolution, with approval from at least 80% of the votes cast. It’s a good thing to have in place should the province decide to follow the recommendations in their Act.

I’ll make a Motion to approve to waive an audit in favour of a review engagement. Could I have a seconder?

Are there any questions.

You have heard the question. All those in favour? ____________ Opposed? ____
