CEO/CFO Certification Consulting

The implementation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the United States has created the need for more rigorous and disciplined requirements in Canada. To this effect, Canadian Securities Administrators ("CSA") has published Multilateral Instrument 52-109 "Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings" (“MI 52-109”).

Sarbanes-Oxley Sections 302 and 404 and MI 52-109 address financial reporting disclosure and the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls. Successful compliance with these rules requires considerable organization, focus and time, which is where RSM Richter can help.
