The problem this seat exists to solve

The audit chair will oversee financial reporting in mining-related services, where work performed, contract changes and collection may progress on different timelines. The committee needs to distinguish realised performance from estimates that remain exposed to commercial or operational uncertainty.

Trace the estimate through contract performance

Follow the original terms, approved changes, work evidence, billing and cash receipts. Determine who verifies progress and how estimates are updated when delivery departs from plan. Where a margin increase rests on a revised forecast, require an explanation of the evidence supporting the change and the risks that remain.

Chair the reporting and control review

Lead review of revenue, work in progress, contract margins and receivable recoverability. Examine how management identifies disputed variations and obligations not yet invoiced. Ask whether operational reports and financial records provide a consistent account of progress.

The chair should ensure significant judgements reach the committee early enough for challenge. A last-minute adjustment may solve a reporting issue while leaving the underlying information weakness untouched.

Discuss scope, independence and significant findings with the external auditor. Review management's remediation of weaknesses at the interface between sites, commercial teams and finance. The committee should understand whether a finding reflects an isolated error or a process that cannot reliably produce the necessary evidence.

Qualifications and a clear governance boundary

Candidates should have deep financial reporting expertise and audit oversight experience, with Canadian public-issuer governance knowledge. Contract-based industrial or mining-services experience is important. They must understand the commercial context without allowing pressure to preserve a margin forecast to override supportable reporting.

Applicants should discuss a contract whose reported results improved while cash or delivery evidence deteriorated. Explain how the issue was investigated and how conclusions were communicated to the board.

The chair provides informed oversight, not contract management or financial statement preparation. Effective service should improve the quality of estimates, the completeness of obligations and the committee's ability to recognise when a commercial problem requires a different level of audit attention.

Terms

Where the board sits: Montreal, Canada
Applications close: 10 November 2026
Appointment: Board and committee chair appointment
Compensation: CAD 85,000–145,000 per year (indicative annual board fee)
Time commitment in this market: Typically 6–9 board meetings a year plus committee cycles; resource issuers add site visits and a heavier technical-report load.

Before you apply — Canada

No nationality test applies to you. Whether residency matters depends entirely on where the company is incorporated — federal CBCA companies have a 25% resident-Canadian rule, Ontario and BC companies do not.

Residency test: 25% of directors of a CBCA corporation must be resident Canadians. Ontario abolished its equivalent requirement in 2021 and British Columbia has none.
Nationality test: None.
Work authorisation: A non-resident director attending board meetings does not require a work permit; board attendance falls within permitted business-visitor activity. Executive and interim operating roles require authorisation.
Tenure limit once appointed: No cap. NI 58-101 requires disclosure of whether the board has adopted term limits or other renewal mechanisms, and to explain why not if it has not.

How this works

Every seat here is applied for by a certified director.

That is the whole difference. A sponsor reading applications from this Exchange knows the pool has been tested — which is why the briefs are real and why an application gets read. Five steps, and the first three are free.

1
Register — free
Read every brief, every regime map and both tools. Nothing is hidden behind the paywall and nothing ever has been. You can apply straight away — one application a fortnight.
2
Sit the assessment — free, about 30 minutes
15 judgement questions on statutory duty, your functional depth and cross-border practice. Sitting it costs nothing and you see your band and a gap report either way — so you learn something about your own standing whether or not you go further.
3
Pass, and you are certified — free, for 12 months
There is no fee to certify. A certified member applies to board, interim and advisory seats, one application a week. That alone is more than most directors act on in a quarter.
4
Then, if you want the rate — Foresight InfinityUS$250 a month
Your application is collated, verified against your profile and carried to the sponsor every week instead of waiting out the seat’s priority period — and we search for you rather than waiting for you to look. Foresight Infinity Plus, US$500 a month, is carried first, the moment it is matched, with a document written for that seat and your score attached.
Monthly only — there is no annual term on either. One payment a month; nothing renews on its own.
5
Your certificate and your membership are not the same thing
The certificate runs 12 months. A membership renews every month. If you stop paying you do not go back to the beginning — you keep the certificate you earned and return to one application a week until it expires.
