These financial statements have been prepared by management using the Government of Canada\u2019s accounting policies, which are based on Canadian public sector accounting standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the information in these financial statements. Some of the information in the financial statements is based on management\u2019s best estimates and judgment, and gives due consideration to materiality. To fulfill its accounting and reporting responsibilities, management maintains a set of accounts that provides a centralized record of the NSIRA\u2019s financial transactions. Financial information submitted in the preparation of the Public Accounts of Canada, and included in the NSIRA\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Departmental Results Report,&nbsp;<\/em>is consistent with these financial statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Management is also responsible for maintaining an effective system of internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) designed to provide reasonable assurance that financial information is reliable, that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are properly authorized and recorded in accordance with the&nbsp;<em>Financial Administration Act&nbsp;<\/em>and other applicable legislation, regulations, authorities and policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Management seeks to ensure the objectivity and integrity of data in its financial statements through careful selection, training and development of qualified staff; through organizational arrangements that provide appropriate divisions of responsibility; through communication programs aimed at ensuring that regulations, policies, standards, and managerial authorities are understood throughout the NSIRA&nbsp;and through conducting an annual risk-based assessment of the effectiveness of the system of ICFR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The system of ICFR is designed to mitigate risks to a reasonable level based on an ongoing process to identify key risks, to assess effectiveness of associated key controls, and to make any necessary adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A risk-based assessment of the system of ICFR for the year ended March 31, 2022 was completed in accordance with the Treasury Board&nbsp;<em>Policy on Financial Management&nbsp;<\/em>and the results and action plans are summarized in the annex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The financial statements of the National Security and Intelligence Agency&nbsp;have not been audited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>John Davies<\/strong><br>Deputy Head<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pierre Souligny<\/strong><br>Chief Financial Officer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ottawa, Canada<br>September 9, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"notes-to-the-financial\"><strong>Statement of Financial Position (<em>Unaudited<\/em>)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As of March 31<\/strong> <em>(in thousands of dollars)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"table table-striped table-bordered small\">\n\t<thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th>&nbsp;\n\t\t\t<\/th><th class=\"active text-center\">2022<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"active text-center\">2021<br>\n\t\t\t(Restated Note 11)<\/th>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/thead>\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr style=\"background-color: #dddddd;

It investigates complaints from members of the public regarding activities of CSIS, CSE or the national security activities of the RCMP, as well as certain other national security-related complaints.&nbsp; This independent scrutiny contributes to the strengthening of the framework of accountability for national security and intelligence activities undertaken by Government of Canada institutions and supports public confidence in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-internal-services\">Internal Services<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Internal support services are groups of related activities and resources that are administered to support the needs of programs and other corporate obligations of an organization. These groups are: Management and Oversight Services; Communications Services; Legal Services; Human Resources Management Services; Financial Management Services; Information Management Services; Information Technology Services; Real Property Services; Materiel Services; Acquisition Services; and Other Administrative Services.

Summary of significant accounting&nbsp;policies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These financial statements are prepared using NSIRA\u2019s accounting policies stated below, which are based on Canadian public sector accounting standards. The presentation and results using the stated accounting policies do not result in any significant differences from Canadian public sector accounting standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Significant accounting policies are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"13-a-parliamentary-authorities\">(a) Parliamentary authorities<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>NSIRA is financed by the Government of Canada through Parliamentary authorities. Financial reporting of authorities provided to NSIRA do not parallel financial reporting according to generally accepted accounting principles since authorities are primarily based on cash flow requirements. Consequently, items recognized in the Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position and in the Statement of Financial Position are not necessarily the same as those provided through authorities from Parliament. Note 3 provides a reconciliation between the bases of reporting. The planned results amounts in the \u201dExpenses\u201d and \u201dRevenues\u201d sections of the Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position are the amounts reported in the Future-Oriented Statement of Operations included in the 2021-2022 Departmental Plan. The planned results amounts in the \u201cGovernment funding and transfers\u201d section of the Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position and in the Statement of Change in Departmental Net Debt were prepared for internal management purposes and have not been previously published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"13--b------net-cash-provided-by-government-of-canada-\">(b) Net cash provided by&nbsp;Government of Canada<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>NSIRA operates within the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF), which is administered by the Receiver General for Canada. All cash received by NSIRA is deposited to the CRF, and all cash disbursements made by NSIRA are paid from the CRF. The net&nbsp;cash provided by Government is the difference between all cash receipts and all cash disbursements, including transactions between departments of the&nbsp;Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"15-c-amounts-due-from-or-to-the-crf\">(c) Amounts due from or to the CRF<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Amounts due from or to the CRF are the result of timing differences at year-end between when a transaction affects authorities and when it is processed through the CRF. Amounts due from the CRF represent the net amount of cash that NSIRA is entitled to draw from the CRF without further authorities to discharge its liabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"15--d------expenses-\">(d) Expenses<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Vacation pay and compensatory leave are accrued as the benefits are earned by employees under their respective terms of employment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Services provided without charge by other government departments for accommodation, employer contributions to the health and dental insurance plans and workers\u2019 compensation are recorded as operating expenses at their carrying value.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"16--e------employee-future-benefits-\">(e) Employee future&nbsp;benefits<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pension benefits:<\/strong>&nbsp;Eligible employees participate in the Public Service Pension Plan, a pension plan administered by the Government. NSIRA\u2019s contributions to the Plan are charged to expenses in the year incurred and represent the total departmental obligation to the Plan. NSIRA\u2019s responsibility with regard to the Plan is limited to its contributions.

The estimates are based on facts and circumstances, historical experience, general economic conditions and reflect the Government\u2019s best estimate of the related amount at the end of the reporting period. The most significant items where estimates are used are contingent liabilities, the liability for employee future benefits and the useful life of tangible capital assets. Actual results could significantly differ from those estimated. Management\u2019s estimates are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are recorded in the financial statements in the year they become known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"20--i--------related-party-transactions-\">(i) Related party transactions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Related party transactions, other than inter-entity transactions, are recorded at the exchange amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inter-entity transactions are transactions between commonly controlled entities. Inter-entity transactions, other than restructuring transactions, are recorded on a gross basis and are measured at the carrying amount, except for the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Services provided on a recovery basis are recognized as revenues and expenses on a gross basis and measured at the exchange amount.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Certain services received on a without charge basis are recorded for departmental financial statement purposes at the carrying amount.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"note3\">3. Parliamentary&nbsp;authorities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>NSIRA receives most of its funding through annual Parliamentary authorities. Items recognized in the Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position and the Statement of Financial Position in one year may be funded through Parliamentary authorities in prior, current or future years. Accordingly, NSIRA has different net results of operations for the year on a government funding basis than on an accrual accounting basis. The differences are reconciled in the following tables:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"22-a-reconciliation-of-net-cost-of-operations-to-current-year-authorities%C2%A0used\">(a) Reconciliation of net cost of operations to current year authorities&nbsp;used<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(in thousands of dollars)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"table table-striped table-bordered small\">\n\t<thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th>&nbsp;<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"active text-center\">2022<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"active text-center\">2021<br \/>\n\t\t\t(Restated Note 11)<\/th>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/thead>\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td style=\"text-align: left;\">Net cost of operations before government funding and transfers<\/td>\n\t\t\t<td class=\"active text-center\" style=\"text-align: right;\">16,165<\/td>\n\t\t\t<td class=\"active text-center\" style=\"text-align: right;\">11,663<\/td>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<tr style=\"background-color: #dddddd;

Pension benefits accrue up to a maximum period of 35 years at a rate of two percent per year of pensionable service, times the average of the best five consecutive years of earnings. The benefits are integrated with Canada\/Qu\u00e9bec Pension Plan benefits and they are indexed to inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both the employees and the Agency contribute to the cost of the Plan. Due to the amendment of the Public Service Superannuation Act following the implementation of provisions related to Economic Action Plan 2012, employee contributors have been divided into two groups \u2013 Group 1 related to existing plan members as of December 31, 2012 and Group 2 relates to members joining the Plan as of January 1, 2013. Each group has a distinct contribution rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2021-22 expense amounts to $1,072,922 ($877,610 in 2020-21). For Group 1 members, the expense represents approximately 1.01 times (1.01 times in 2020-21) the employee contributions and, for Group 2 members, approximately 1.00 times (1.00 times in 2020-21) the employee contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NSIRA\u2019s responsibility with regard to the Plan is limited to its contributions. Actuarial surpluses or deficiencies are recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Government of Canada, as the Plan\u2019s sponsor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"27-b-severance-benefits\">(b) Severance benefits<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Severance benefits provided to NSIRA\u2019s employees were previously based on an employee\u2019s eligibility, years of service and salary at termination of employment. However, since 2011 the accumulation of severance benefits for voluntary departures progressively ceased for substantially all employees. Employees subject to these changes were given the option to be paid the full or partial value of benefits earned to date or collect the full or remaining value of benefits upon departure from the public service. By March 31, 2018, substantially all settlements for immediate cash out were completed. Severance benefits are unfunded and, consequently, the outstanding obligation will be paid from future authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The changes in the obligations during the year were as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(in thousands of dollars)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"table table-striped table-bordered small\">\n\t<thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th>&nbsp;<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"active text-center\">2022<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"active text-center\">2021<\/th>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/thead>\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td><strong>Accrued benefit obligation \u2013 Beginning of year<\/strong><\/td>\n\t\t\t<td style=\"text-align: right;\">316<\/td>\n\t\t\t<td style=\"text-align: right;\">146<\/td>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>Expense for the year<\/td>\n\t\t\t<td style=\"text-align: right;\">(7)<\/td>\n\t\t\t<td style=\"text-align: right;\">170<\/td>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>Benefits paid during the year<\/td>\n\t\t\t<td style=\"text-align: right;\">(81)<\/td>\n\t\t\t<td style=\"text-align: right;\">&#8211;<\/td>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td><strong>Accrued benefit obligation \u2013 End of year<\/strong><\/td>\n\t\t\t<td style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>228<\/strong><\/td>\n\t\t\t<td style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>316<\/strong><\/td>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"28-6-accounts-receivable-and-advances\">6.

Responsibility Including Internal Control over Financial Reporting for Fiscal Year 2021-22 (unaudited)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading no-toc\" id=\"37-1--introduction-\">1.&nbsp;Introduction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This document provides summary information on measures taken by the National Security Intelligence Review Agency (NSIRA) to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) including information on internal control management, assessment results and related action plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Detailed information on NSIRA authority, mandate, and programs can be found in our Departmental Plan for the 2021 to 2022 fiscal year and our Departmental Results Report for the 2021 to 2022 fiscal year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading no-toc\" id=\"38-2--departmental-system-of-internal-control-over-financial-reporting-\">2.&nbsp;Departmental system of internal control over financial reporting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"39--21----internal-control-management-\">2.1&nbsp;&nbsp;Internal Control Management<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>NSIRA has implemented a rigourous governance and accountability structure to support the oversight of its system of internal control, which includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>organizational accountability structures as they relate to internal control management to support sound financial management, including the roles and responsibilities of senior departmental managers for control management in their areas of responsibility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>values and ethics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ongoing communication and training on statutory requirements, and policies and procedures for sound financial management and control<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>monitoring of, and regular updates to, internal control management, as well as the provision of related assessment results and action plans to the deputy head and senior departmental management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>NSIRA recognizes the importance of setting the tone from the top to help ensure that staff at all levels understand their roles in maintaining effective financial systems of ICFR and are well equipped to exercise these responsibilities effectively<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"40--22----service-arrangements-relevant-to-financial-statements-\">2.2&nbsp;&nbsp;Service Arrangements relevant to financial statements<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>NSIRA relies on other organizations for the processing of certain transactions that are recorded in its financial statements, and relies on these service providers to ensure an adequate system of ICFR is maintained over services provided to NSIRA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"41--common-arrangements---\">Common Arrangements:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Public Services and Procurement Canada, which administers the payment of salaries and the procurement of goods and services, and provides accommodation services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shared Services Canada, which provides IT infrastructure services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, which provides information on public service insurance and centrally administers payment of the employer\u2019s share of contributions toward statutory employee benefit plans<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Readers of this annex may refer to the annexes of the above-noted departments for a greater understanding of the systems of internal control over financial reporting related to these specific services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"42--specific-arrangements-\">Specific Arrangements:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Prior to fiscal 2021-22, in accordance to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two organizations, NSIRA relied on the Privy Council Office (PCO) for the performance of financial services,&nbsp;including relevant control measures.&nbsp; Effective, April 1, 2021, NSIRA entered into a new MOU with PCO, which reflected a shift whereby NSIRA would work towards financial services self-sufficiency, by fiscal 2022-23 (including a transition period over fiscal 2021-22).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat provides the agency with a SAP financial system platform to capture and report all financial transactions and a PeopleSoft human resources system platform to manage pay and leave transactions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading no-toc\"

id=\"44--progress-during-the-2021-22-fiscal-year-\">Progress during the 2021-22 fiscal year<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>NSIRA\u2019s management team has maintained a system of internal control that ensures that financial information is understandable, relevant, reliable and comparable in concert with the PCO\u2019s support as per the MOU.&nbsp; Progress is disclosed in the Annex of PCO\u2019s Statement of Management Responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"45--new-or-significantly-amended-key-controls-\">New or significantly amended key controls<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In the current
