Audit Proposal Letters and Response Strategies

This final module dives deep into the pivotal moment when CRA communicates its proposed audit findings through a formal audit proposal letter. CPA professionals will learn how to analyze these letters, extract the factual and legal basis for adjustments, and craft compelling response submissions that may prevent reassessment altogether. The course emphasizes tone, structure, and content strategy in writing persuasive replies, drawing from real-world examples involving income inclusion, denied deductions, and GST adjustments. CPAs will also explore the importance of contemporaneous documentation, third-party corroboration, and early legal consultation when facing high-risk findings.
