Speaker Announcement: Ellen Xue at Municipal Masterclass
Campaign compliance is one of the most important — and often overlooked — parts of running for office. At Municipal Masterclass 2026, attendees will hear from professionals who understand the operational side of campaigns, including Ellen Xue, Founder of the Canada Political Audit & Evaluation Team (CPAET).
Ellen Xue is a former Elections Canada Auditor with specialized experience in political financial compliance. Through her work at CPAET, she supports mayoral and city council candidates by helping them build strong financial reporting systems and prepare for post-election audit requirements.
Her experience provides an inside perspective on how campaign finances are reviewed and where candidates and teams most commonly face challenges. Ellen focuses on helping campaigns understand filing requirements, financial documentation, and audit readiness before issues arise.
Recognizing that many campaigns struggle with paperwork rather than policy, Ellen Xue takes a structured and data-driven approach to campaign compliance. Her work helps candidates establish clear financial processes that support transparency and reduce risk.
As a CPA Candidate, Ellen works closely with campaign managers and candidates to develop systems that align with election rules and reporting expectations. Her focus includes compliance protocols, rebate optimization, and helping campaigns avoid unnecessary penalties after election day.
Her perspective offers practical guidance for candidates and teams navigating the financial side of municipal elections, an area that can significantly impact campaign operations and long-term outcomes.
