My personal experience with Audit Shield is that they look for every possible way they can argue that CRA activity falls within the items that are covered. They run a very ethical, client-centric business. In addition to avoiding "surprise audit costs", the practitioner never has to think "is this worth fighting economically?" I have lost count of how many times I have been able to tell a client “There’s no fee for that - you paid for Audit Shield". That takes a lot of the sting out of a CRA review! If the client does not want coverage, the decision is theirs.

Audit Shield has enabled us to facilitate discussions with our clients regarding the way governments have stepped up their questions and the issues that are now being explored by them and, consequently, the time that we have devoted to dealing with those issues and questions.

We have seen an increase in Canada Revenue Agency audit activity in recent years, so we believed it would be beneficial to offer Audit Shield to manage those costs to our clients.
Partner, Good Redden Klosler LLP, Simcoe & Tillsonburg ON
Audit Shield gives our clients freedom from uncertainty. Clients come to accountants to get things done properly, but with the Canada Revenue Agency in the mix, things can go off the rails. Audit Shield gives clients a level of assurance that everything is going be ok.

I know that I've been very happy with the results of making Audit Shield available to clients at our firm. Even clients who decline still appreciate being afforded the choice, and I have had quite a few note that this is a no-brainer for them, based on costs incurred in the past from CRA reviews.

We’ve been offering Audit Shield to our clients for over 4 years now with great success. Feedback is overly positive from clients who appreciate having the choice of how to manage unforeseen tax audits and reviews. It has also given clients who chose not to participate a better understanding of the additional work, and cost, required for these reviews. We are extremely pleased with the Audit Shield offering and service, making Audit Shield an important service to offer our clients. The renewal and claims process has become very streamlined.
