A fascinating angle of the latest CPAB enforcement action is that it was prompted by information gleaned through the inspection of a "foreign regulator" and self-reported by the Canadian accounting firm in question.

The spectre of coming hikes to tariffs and a new, Trump-style brand of protectionism will impact every Canadian company that exports to the United States." https://lnkd.in/gZWjbgdR
