Leveraged Insurance (IFA) Audit

Independent analysis of your Immediate Financing Arrangement (IFA): projected net outcome, adverse-scenario stress testing, and exit costs.

Recent CRA regulatory scrutiny and Tax Court decisions highlight the multi-decade risks of leveraged insurance. While licensed to structure IFAs, our firm has deliberately chosen never to sell them.

We provide strictly independent, quantitative policy modeling to help corporate policyholders, CPAs, and legal counsel assess risk and evaluate exit options.

What We Model

Tax-Deduction Disallowance Sensitivity

We model your policy and debt structure under scenarios where interest deductions are restricted, exposing the raw net cash flow required to keep the plan afloat.

ACB & Taxable Policy Gain Trajectory

As a policy's Adjusted Cost Base (ACB) erodes over time, surrendering it to pay down debt can trigger a massive taxable gain. We calculate your exact projected ACB curve and surrender tax exposure.

Macro Stress-Testing

We stress-test your leverage against rising bank borrowing costs and reduced carrier dividend scales (longevity risk).

Exit Cost Analysis

We calculate the exact Net Present Value (NPV) and cash required to unwind the leverage structure today versus executing a phased payoff strategy.
