What Is a CPA Compilation Report (Notice to Reader)?
A CPA compilation report, also called a Notice to Reader (NTR), is a set of financial statements prepared by a licensed Chartered Professional Accountant using information provided by the business owner. The CPA compiles the data into a standard format with a compilation engagement report attached. The CPA does not audit or review the numbers. The report states that the financial statements were compiled from management-provided information without audit or review assurance.
Banks, landlords, investors and franchise systems in Scarborough require compilation reports because they need financial statements in a standardized CPA-prepared format. Internal QBO or Xero reports are not accepted. The bank needs a signed CPA report with the proper engagement language before approving a loan. We prepare compilation reports for Scarborough businesses from $250 with same-week turnaround.

CPA Compilation Report (Notice to Reader) in Scarborough
CSRS 4200 compilation engagement financial statements for Scarborough corporations. Built from your books, tied straight into your T2, at AFFORDABLE flat-fee pricing.
Trial Balance Compilation
We close the prior year, roll forward opening balances and produce a trial balance that ties out before a single statement is drawn.
- Close prior year and roll forward opening balances so the trial balance agrees to last year's compiled financial statements.
- Clear suspense, undeposited-funds and unreconciled accounts in your QBO or Xero data so no placeholder balance flows into the statements.
- Verify bank, loan and credit card balances on the trial balance agree to year-end statements.
- Confirm the trial balance is in balance and retained earnings tie to prior year plus current net income before adjusting entries.
- Deliver the cleaned trial balance as the foundation for an accurate compilation.
Notice to Reader Report
Under CSRS 4200, we prepare statements that meet the current standard with the required basis-of-accounting disclosure.
- Prepare the compilation under CSRS 4200, which replaced the old Section 9200 NTR and requires the basis of accounting disclosed in a note.
- State the chosen basis of accounting (cash or accrual) directly in the statements, the disclosure CSRS 4200 makes mandatory.
- Attach the compilation engagement report identifying management's responsibility and confirming no assurance is expressed.
- Confirm with the lender or known third-party user before issuing, since CSRS 4200 requires the statements to suit the intended user.
- Issue a professional, CPA-signed Notice to Reader at an AFFORDABLE flat fee.
Adjusting Journal Entries
The entries between your raw books and the final statements are where accuracy is made.
- Post depreciation at year-end to align book amortization with CCA pools on the T2 Schedule 8.
- Record accrued liabilities, prepaid expenses and unearned revenue so income and expense fall in the correct period.
- Book the corporate income tax provision so the income statement reflects after-tax results.
- Reconcile and adjust the shareholder loan account to its true year-end balance.
- Document each adjusting entry so the path from trial balance to statement is fully traceable.
Year-End Working Papers
The working-paper file is what stands behind the numbers. Structured, defensible, upgradeable.
- Build a lead-schedule working-paper file supporting every material balance on the compiled statements.
- Include account reconciliations, CCA continuity schedule and tax provision calculation.
- Structure the file so a future CSRS 4400 review engagement or assurance audit can build on it directly.
- Retain working papers for the professional retention period.
- Deliver an organized file that protects you and keeps future engagements cost-effective.
T2 Corporate Tax Integration
Compiled statements and the T2 are one continuous process, not two jobs.
- Carry the compiled balance sheet and income statement onto Schedule 100 and Schedule 125 through matched GIFI coding.
- Reconcile compiled net income to taxable income on Schedule 1, applying add-backs and deductions.
- Tie the tax provision booked in the statements to the actual tax calculated on the T2.
- Prepare the compilation and T2 as one engagement. No duplicated work, no reconciliation gap.
- Bundle the statements and T2 at one flat, AFFORDABLE fee with no hourly billing.
Multi-Year NTR Packages
A single year rarely satisfies a lender or buyer. We prepare a consistent multi-year package.
- Prepare two- and three-year comparative compiled statements on a consistent basis of accounting.
- Restate prior years onto the same CSRS 4200 basis where earlier statements used the retired NTR format.
- Assemble the multi-year set in the format banks expect for mortgage and credit applications.
- Reconcile each year's statements to the T2 filed for that year across all periods.
- Deliver the full multi-year package at a flat, transparent fee with no surprise charges.

Sample Compilation Engagement Report (Illustrative)
To [Client Company Name] Inc.
Management provided the underlying financial data used to prepare the enclosed statements for [Client Company Name] Inc., covering the balance sheet as at [date] and the related statement of operations and retained earnings for the corresponding year. Note 1 sets out the accounting basis applied in putting these statements together.
Responsibility for the completeness and accuracy of that underlying data, and for choosing the applicable accounting basis, rests entirely with management.
Our work was carried out under the compilation engagement standard applicable in Canada, which requires us to follow the relevant ethical rules of the profession.
Our role was limited to helping management assemble the financial information into readable statements. We did not carry out an audit or a review of this information, and we were not required to test, confirm, or otherwise verify the accuracy or completeness of what management provided to us.
As a result, no audit opinion, review conclusion, or assurance of any kind is being expressed on this financial information. Anyone intending to rely on these statements should first confirm they are suitable for their intended purpose.
