INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
.Report on the Return
We have audited the accompanying Candidate's Financial Statement -Form 4 Return (the "Return") of
Regan Bruss6, a candidate for City Council in the City of Kitchener for the period ended December 31,
2018.
This Return has been prepared by the candidate based on the financial reporting provisions of the Municipal
Elections Act 1996 as amended.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Return based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply
with ethical requirements, and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the Return
is free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
Return. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the Return, whether due to fraud of error. In making those risk assessments, the
auditor considers internal controls relevant to the preparation of the Return in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the official agent, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the Return.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
qualified audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
Due to the inherent nature of the transactions of electoral campaigns, the completeness of contributions,
loan guarantees and other revenue and expenses is not susceptible of satisfactory audit verification.
Accordingly, our verification of these amounts was limited to the amounts recorded in the campaign's
accounting records and we were not able to determine whether any adjustments might be necessary to
contributions, loan guarantees and other revenue and expenses.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the "Basis for Qualified Opinion"
paragraph, the Return of Regan Brussel is prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the reporting
provisions of the Municipal Elections Act 1996 as amended.
Basis of Accounting and .Restriction on Use
The Return is prepared for the Clerk of the Region of Waterloo in accordance with Municipal Elections Act
1996 as amended. As a result, the Return may not be suitable for another purpose. Our report is intended
solely for the candidate and the Clerk of the Region of Waterloo and should not be used for matters/parties
outside the parameters of the Municipal Elections Act 1996.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
As required by the Municipal Elections Act 1996 as amended in our opinion, the Return presents the
information contained in the financial records on which it is based.
