Quarterly Financial Report (unaudited) - 1st Quarter 2016-2017
ISSN 2562-6426
For the quarter ended June 30, 2016
1. Introduction
This quarterly report has been prepared by management as required by section 65.1 of the Financial Administration Act and in the form and manner prescribed by the Treasury Board. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the Main Estimates and Supplementary Estimates. This quarterly report has not been subject to an external audit or review.
Mandate
The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP (CRCC)'s fundamental role is to provide civilian review of the conduct of the RCMP members in carrying out their policing duties, thereby holding the RCMP accountable to the public. The CRCC ensures that complaints about the conduct of RCMP members are examined fairly and impartially. Its findings and recommendations help identify and remedy policing problems which stem from the conduct of individual RCMP members or from deficiencies in RCMP policies or practices. A summary description of the CRCC program activities can be found in Part II of the Main Estimates.
Basis of Presentation
This quarterly report has been prepared by management using an expenditure basis of accounting and a special purpose financial reporting framework designed to meet financial information needs with respect to the use of spending authorities. The accompanying Statement of Authorities includes the CRCC's spending authorities granted by Parliament and those used by the agency, consistent with the Main Estimates for the 2016–17 fiscal year.
2. Highlights of fiscal quarter and fiscal year-to-date (YTD) results
This quarterly report reflects the results of the current fiscal period in relation to the Main Estimates for which full supply was released on June 23, 2016. Events that have taken place following the close of the quarter are not reflected in this report.
By the end of the first quarter of 2016–17, the CRCC had spent approximately 20% of its authorities. The CRCC's expenditures on personnel totaled 20% of its planned expenditures. The CRCC is anticipating that spending on personnel will remain high throughout the year as it continues its transition to its new mandate.
3. Risks and uncertainties
The CRCC has no control over serious incidents between the RCMP and the public. Such events may impact on workloads across the CRCC and have the potential to negatively affect the achievement of service standards. Through the use of supply arrangements for specialized investigators, the tracking of workloads within the CRCC and, where needed, the reallocation of staff and resources, the CRCC maintains the necessary flexibility to undertake important and high profile investigations
4. Significant changes in relation to operations, personnel and programs
The CRCC has launched a pilot project in northern British Columbia which aims at enhancing the visibility and role of the Commission in relation to processing and investigating public complaints about the RCMP in that area of the province. The initiative will also seek to build more effective and collaborative relationships with provincial and municipal authorities responsible for public safety and law enforcement oversight, as well as stakeholders and special interest groups implicated in police/community relationships. The initiative will be funded through the reallocation of existing CRCC resources. Two FTE positions have been assigned to the project and will be supported, when needed, by investigative resources drawn from the Commission’s existing supply arrangement for contract investigators.
