A professional (e.g. lawyer, accountant) may be engaged by Deputy(ies) to assist in preparing the contents of the Deputy Report. The Deputy report prepared by the professional may be submitted in the hardcopy format and signed off by the Deputy(ies). You will need to inform OPG prior to the submission of the hardcopy Deputy report and provided supporting documents to indicate that a professional (e.g. accountant, book keeper, lawyer) was engaged.
