What to Look for in a Non-Profit Auditor in New Brunswick
When selecting a non-profit audit firm in New Brunswick:
- ASNPO experience — confirm the firm regularly audits non-profits under ASNPO, not just for-profit businesses using ASPE or IFRS
- T3010 knowledge — if you are a registered charity, the auditor should be familiar with T3010 reporting and its relationship to the financial statements
- Grant audit experience — if you receive government grants, ask about experience with funder-specific audit requirements
- Sector-specific clients — ask whether the firm audits similar organizations (social services, arts, religious, healthcare) for relevant experience
- Independence — the firm cannot also provide bookkeeping or accounting services to an organization it audits

- Small organizations (under $500k revenue): $5,000–$12,000
- Mid-size organizations ($500k–$5M revenue): $10,000–$30,000
- Large organizations ($5M+ revenue): $25,000–$100,000+

Federal Charities in New Brunswick
Registered charities in New Brunswick must file the T3010 annually with the CRA by six months after their fiscal year-end. CRA monitors T3010 filings and may flag charities for compliance review if their charitable disbursement ratios appear low, if their expenditures seem inconsistent with their charitable purposes, or if their financial statements contain unusual items. An experienced non-profit auditor can help ensure your T3010 disclosures are accurate and your financial statements support them.
