All successful franchise systems are based on a consistent approach towards business processes and compliance, as well as sound operational and financial controls. At Burge & Associates, we are committed to delivering optimum assurance for franchisors and adding value to their franchisees.

Accurate reporting of royalties, rebates and brand protection are 3 significant issues for both today's franchisor and franchisees. The auditing of franchisees of all sizes using the latest techniques can provide important benefits to all stakeholders in the system.

Burge & Associates provides independent and objective analysis of franchisee operations to ensure the franchisor's interests are protected.  We also strive to provide added value to the franchisee by assisting with localized controls designed to improve their own operations.

In the modern business world, having sound corporate governance is expected and it is no different for the franchise sector. By having an audit, franchisors set the "tone at the top" by having accountability and control systems that are proportionate to the risks involved in their business. Good governance provides an organization the framework from which to create value for all stakeholders in the system through leadership, ethics, entrepreneurism and innovation. 

Burge & Associates understands the complex nature of franchising and has the right mix of expertise and hands on experience.
