ISSN 2562-6426

For the quarter ended June 30, 2022

1.0 Introduction

This quarterly financial report has been prepared by management as required by section 65.1 of the Financial Administration Act, in the form and manner prescribed by the Treasury Board. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the Main Estimates. 

This quarterly report has not been subject to an external audit or review.

1.1 Mandate

The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP (CRCC)'s fundamental role is to provide civilian review of the conduct of RCMP members in carrying out their 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 that 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.

1.2 Basis of Presentation

This quarterly report has been prepared by management using an expenditure basis of accounting. The accompanying Statement of Authorities includes CRCC's spending authorities granted by Parliament and those used by the agency consistent with the Main Estimates for the 2022-2023 fiscal year. This quarterly report has been prepared using a special purpose financial reporting framework designed to meet financial information needs with respect to the use of spending authorities.

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.

The CRCC uses the full accrual method of accounting to prepare and present its annual departmental financial statements that are part of the departmental performance reporting process. However, the spending authorities voted by Parliament remain on an expenditure basis.

2.0 Highlights of fiscal quarter and fiscal year-to-date (YTD) results

By the end of the first quarter of 2022-23, the CRCC spent approximately 24% of its authorities compared to 25% for the same period in 2021-22.

Personnel represents 80% of the CRCC's total planned expenditures for 2022-23, which is consistent compared with 80% for 2021-22. The CRCC is anticipating that spending on personnel will remain high throughout the year as its workforce is adjusted to meet mandate priorities and increased public demand for services.

3.0 Risks and uncertainties

The CRCC has continued to manage with its existing appropriations despite the growing public demand for its services. However, in fiscal year 2021-22, the CRCC expended 99.8% of its operating budget, further highlighting the need for additional resources. Funding is being sought through the Supplementary Estimates to address current and future year pressures, with the objective of maintaining the integrity of the complaint and review process and conduct investigations deemed in the public's interest.
