Our audit process is a deep dive into your organization to identify areas of opportunity and growth.
Through our analysis, we are able to gain insight into organizational structure, demographics, and most importantly, community members’ feelings of belonging, inclusion and trust and make recommendations that will spark meaningful and lasting change within your organization.
Our audits are guided in values of anti-oppression, intersectionality, feminism and community. Get started with 5 Things You Need to Know About Equity Audits from Koshiki Tanaka, Policy and Research Director

“Working with the team at Bakau Consulting was an honour. They're all very encouraging, understanding and thorough. As an organization, we're very motivated to be more inclusive and diverse, especially because it's our ethical responsibility as therapists and humans. Cicely and everyone on their team helped audit our team and client community, then provided us with easy to understand results and recommendations. If you're ready to turn motivation into action, Bakau Consulting should be your first call.”
Our audits will identify exactly where your organization is right now and provide you with the knowledge to get to where you need to be.
