WCAG / AODA Accessibility Audit
Know your exposure. Document your compliance. Protect your organization.
AODA requires organizations with 50 or more Ontario employees to meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA on all public-facing web content. Most organizations haven’t formally assessed whether they comply — and find out only when a complaint is filed, a procurement bid is challenged, or an enforcement order arrives.
Who this audit is for
This audit is for organizations that need formal, documented compliance assessment — not a checklist, not an automated scanner report, but a defensible professional audit that can be presented to leadership, legal counsel, or a procurement review.
It’s the right service if:
Your organization has 50 or more Ontario employees and hasn’t formally assessed WCAG compliance.
You’ve received an accessibility complaint or been asked about compliance in a bid process.
You’re preparing a procurement response that requires accessibility documentation.
You’re planning a website redesign and want to establish a baseline — or validate the new build before launch.
You need findings your development team can act on directly.
About the AODA compliance context
What AODA actually requires
Under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, organizations with 50 or more employees must meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA on all public-facing web content. The compliance reporting deadline of December 31, 2025 has passed. Non-compliance begins with a Director’s Order requiring remediation on a set timeline. Willful non-compliance after an order can result in fines up to $100,000 per day for corporations.
The realistic risk for most organizations is not an immediate fine, it is an enforcement order demanding costly emergency remediation under time pressure. That’s entirely avoidable with a proactive audit.
What makes our audit different
Automated scanners (axe-core, WAVE, Lighthouse) catch approximately 57% of WCAG issues. The other 43% require human judgment: whether alternative text is actually descriptive rather than technically present, whether navigation flows make logical sense to a screen reader user, whether error messages genuinely help someone correct a form entry.
Melis Burkay holds CPWA (Certified Professional in Web Accessibility) credentials and has conducted accessibility audits that have stood up to legal and procurement scrutiny. Our reports are written to be defensible, not just useful.
