Mind the Gaps: Common Mistakes and Misconceptions from Firm and Individual Audits 

12:30 PM – 1:30 PM

After three years of auditing firms and more than two years of auditing individuals, the Engineers and Geoscientists BC audit teams have helped improve the practice of registrants across the province and across all sectors. Using our completed audits as a guide, this session will inform registrants about common findings and misconceptions we see amongst registrants in BC. We hope to address some of the questions we hear most often during audits, clear up confusing terminology, and provide practical tools for succeeding in your practice and during an audit.
