Audit, audit-related and non-audit services
All requests for non-prohibited audit, audit-related and non-audit services provided by
TELUS’ external auditor and its affiliates to TELUS are required to be pre-approved by
TELUS’ Audit Committee. To enable this, we have implemented a process by which all
requests for services involving the external auditor are routed for review by the VP Risk
Management and Chief Internal Auditor to validate that the requested service is a non-
prohibited service and to verify that there is a compelling business reason for the
request. If the request passes this review, it is then forwarded to the Chief Financial
Officer for further review. Pending the Chief Financial Officer’s affirmation, the request is
then presented to the Audit Committee for its review, evaluation and pre-approval or
denial at its next scheduled quarterly meeting. If the timing of the request is urgent, it is
provided to the Audit Committee Chair for his or her review, evaluation and pre-approval
or denial on behalf of the Audit Committee (with the full committee’s review at the next
scheduled quarterly meeting). Throughout the year, the Audit Committee monitors the
actual versus approved expenditure for each of the approved requests.
