SUMMARY OF REQUIRED SERVICES:

CBC/Radio-Canada is seeking offers to establish Arrangements with a maximum of six (6) prequalified successful Suppliers for the provisioning of accounting advice and related services.
We are specially looking for experienced advisory teams with leading technical expertise that can quickly and efficiently assist CBC/Radio-Canada on an “as-and-when-required basis” with its accounting, assurance and reporting matters. In addition, we are seeking accounting firms with staff resourcing depth to be able to assist management on a temporary basis with projects or staffing replacement needs.

Requirements

CBC/Radio-Canada requires accounting advisory services to assist with significant current issues as they arise, and expected future financial reporting matters. The nature of the services will be broad and the Corporation’s needs may vary depending on the nature of transactions entered into, changes in the business which arise, expertise existing internally, and the evolution of IFRS and PSAS accounting standards, as well as sustainability reporting frameworks. Deliverables will range from brief telephone advice to staffing and written positions. CBC/Radio-Canada expects the core types of support to include:

Accounting and Financial Reporting – Advice
Internal Controls and Financial Processes – Advice
Assurance Services
Staffing Assistance
Training and Education
