in the form and manner prescribed by the Directive on Accounting Standards, GC 4400 Departmental Quarterly Financial Report. This quarterly financial report should be read in conjunction with the 2020- 21 Main Estimates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A summary description of the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency Secretariat (NSIRA) program activities can be found in Part II of the Main Estimates. For information on the mandate of NSIRA, please visit its website at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nsira-ossnr.gc.ca\/\">http:\/\/www.nsira-ossnr.gc.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This quarterly report has not been subject to an external audit or review.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-mandate\">Mandate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The National Security and Intelligence Review Agency (NSIRA) is an independent external review body, which reports to Parliament. NSIRA was established in July of&nbsp;2019 and is responsible to conduct reviews of the Government of Canada national security and intelligence activities to ensure that they are lawful, reasonable and necessary. NSIRA also hears public complaints regarding key national security agencies and activities. NSIRA replaces the Security Intelligence Review Committee (SIRC), which reviewed CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Service) activities as well as those related to the revocation or denial of security clearances. Going forward, it will also hear complaints regarding the Communication Security Establishment (CSE), as well as national security-related complaints regarding the RCMP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-basis-of-presentation\">Basis of presentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This quarterly report has been prepared by management using an expenditure basis of accounting. The accompanying Statement of Authorities includes the department\u2019s spending authorities granted by Parliament and those used by the department, consistent with the 2020-21 Main Estimates. This quarterly report has been prepared using a special purpose financial reporting framework (cash basis) designed to meet financial information needs with respect to the use of spending authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The authority of Parliament is required before moneys can be spent by the Government. Approvals are given in the form of annually approved limits through appropriation acts or through legislation in the form of statutory spending authority for specific purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-highlights-of-the-fiscal-quarter-and-fiscal-year-to-date-results\">Highlights of the fiscal quarter and fiscal year-to-date results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This section highlights the significant items that contributed to the net increase or decrease in authorities available for the year and actual expenditures for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NSIRA spent approximately 20% of its authorities by the end of the second quarter, compared to 34% in the same quarter of 2019-20 (see graph 1 below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading no-toc\" id=\"5--graph-1-comparison-of-total-authorities-and-total-net-budgetary-expenditures-q3-2022%E2%80%9323-and-q3-2021%E2%80%9322-\">Graph 1: Comparison of total authorities and total net budgetary expenditures, Q2 2020\u201321 and Q2 2019\u201320<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"630\" height=\"445\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/qfr_q2-19-20_fig01-eng.png\" alt=\"Graph: Comparison of total authorities and total net budgetary expenditures - Text version follows\" class=\"wp-image-4112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nsira-ossnr.gc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/qfr_q2-19-20_fig01-eng.png 630w, https:\/\/nsira-ossnr.gc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/qfr_q2-19-20_fig01-eng-300x212.png 300w, https:\/\/nsira-ossnr.gc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/qfr_q2-19-20_fig01-eng-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<details><summary aria-expanded=\"false\" role=\"button\">Text version of Figure 1<\/summary>\n\n<table class=\"table table-striped table-bordered small\">\n\t<caption class=\"text-left\">Comparison of total authorities and total net budgetary expenditures, Q2 2020\u201321 and Q2 2019\u201320<\/caption>\n\t<thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"active text-center\" scope=\"col\">&nbsp;<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"active text-center\" scope=\"col\">2020-21<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"active text-center\" scope=\"col\">2019-20<\/th>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/thead>\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"active text-center\" scope=\"row\">Total Authorities<\/th>\n\t\t\t<td>$20.5<\/td>\n\t\t\t<td>$5.3<\/td>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"active text-center\" scope=\"row\">Q2 Expenditures<\/th>\n\t\t\t<td>$2.7<\/td>\n\t\t\t<td>$1.0<\/td>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"active text-center\" scope=\"row\">Year-to-Date Expenditures<\/th>\n\t\t\t<td>$4.0<\/td>\n\t\t\t<td>$1.8<\/td>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-significant-changes-to-authorities\">Significant changes to authorities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As per graph 2 below as at September 30, 2020, NSIRA had authorities available for use of $20.5 million in 2020-21 compared to $5.3 million as of September 30, 2019, for a net increase of $15.2 million or 287%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading no-toc\" id=\"7--graph-2-variance-in-authorities-as-at-december-31-2022-\">Graph 2: Variance in authorities as at September 30, 2020<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"516\" height=\"289\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/qfr_q2-19-20_fig02-eng.png\" alt=\"Graph: Variance in authorities as at September 30, 2020 - Text version follows\" class=\"wp-image-4113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nsira-ossnr.gc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/qfr_q2-19-20_fig02-eng.png 516w, https:\/\/nsira-ossnr.gc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/qfr_q2-19-20_fig02-eng-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/nsira-ossnr.gc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/qfr_q2-19-20_fig02-eng-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 516px) 100vw, 516px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<details><summary aria-expanded=\"false\" role=\"button\">Text version of Figure 2<\/summary>\n\n<table class=\"table table-striped table-bordered small\">\n\t<caption class=\"text-left\">Variance in authorities as at September 30, 2020 (in millions)<\/caption>\n\t<thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"active text-center\" scope=\"col\">&nbsp;<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"active text-center\" scope=\"col\">Fiscal year 2019-20 total available for use for the year ended March 31, 2020<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"active text-center\" scope=\"col\">Fiscal year 2020-21 total available for use for the year ended March 31, 2021<\/th>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/thead>\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"active text-center\" scope=\"row\">Vote 1 &#8211;

id=\"14-other-subsidies-and-payments\">Risks and uncertainties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the ability of NSIRA to grow its organization in a way that is commensurate with its new mandate. The physical distancing requirements decreased the ability of staff to concurrently work with departments and agencies subject to reviews. In light of that, NSIRA revised its Review Plan and has advanced the introduction of a new approach to the review of complaints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ability to hire a sufficient number of qualified personnel within relevant timelines remains a short- and medium-term risk for NSIRA, particularly given the specialized knowledge and skillset required for many positions. This is further compounded by the requirement for candidates to obtain a Top Secret security clearance, which can incur significant delays, especially during the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While NSIRA has been able to secure temporary space to address its immediate space requirements, the timing at which this staff will be able to operate within this high security zone has still not been determined. NSIRA is working closely with Public Services and Procurement Canada to expedite the fit-up plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ability of NSIRA to access the information it needs to do its work and speak to the relevant internal stakeholders to understand policies, operations and ongoing issues is closely tied to the reviewed departments\u2019 capacity to respond to the demands of NSIRA. The pandemic impacts and existing resource constraints of the reviewed departments could delay NSIRA\u2019s ability to deliver on its mandate in a timely way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NSIRA is closely monitoring pay transactions to identify and address over and under payments in a timely manner and continues to apply ongoing mitigating controls, which were implemented in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mitigation measures for the risks outlined above have been identified and are factored into NSIRA\u2019s approach to the conduct of its mandate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"24-significant-changes-in-relation-to-operations-personnel-and-programs\">Significant changes in relation to operations, personnel and programs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The pandemic forced changes in the way NSIRA conducts operations. The requirement for physical distancing and the existing challenge with respect to high&nbsp;security zone accommodation has led NSIRA to authorize staff to work with nonsensitive files from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Murray Rankin, Chair of NSIRA, has left the Agency. Honourable L. Yves Fortier has been designated acting Chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There have been no new Governor-in-Council appointments during the second quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There have been no changes to the NSIRA
