Individual Compliance Audit Exemption Form
Please only fill out this form if you received an email notification stating that you have been randomly selected for a compliance audit.
You may be eligible for an audit exemption if:
- You are currently on a leave of absence (e.g., medical, parental, or compassionate care leaves or unemployment);
- You hold a Sole Practitioner Permit to Practice with Engineers and Geoscientists BC;
- You are employed by a Registrant Firm that has undergone a compliance audit in the previous 12 months with an in-compliance result; or
- You have other extenuating circumstances which prevent you from undergoing a compliance audit.
Note: Non-practising status and retirement are not acceptable reasons for audit exemption.
If you have been randomly selected for a compliance audit and meet any of the above criteria, you can request an exemption by completing the application form below. Please provide as much detail as possible to outline the reason for an exemption.
Registrants can expect an answer to the outcome of their exemption application within 5 to 7 business days of receipt, unless the request is being reviewed by the Audit and Practice Review Committee, in which case the registrant will be informed of an estimated response date by the Committee.
