ISSN 2562-6426

For the quarter ended December 31, 2021

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 fundamental role of the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP (CRCC) is to provide civilian review of the conduct of 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.

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 2021-2022 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 third quarter of 2021-22, the CRCC spent approximately 70% of its authorities compared to 72% for the same period in 2020-21.

Personnel represents 80% of the CRCC's total planned expenditures for 2021-22 compared to 70% for 2020-21. 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 Uncertainty

The CRCC has continued to manage with its existing appropriations despite the growing public demand for its services. However, without additional resources, there is a clear risk that the CRCC will not be able to deliver on its service standards and mandate commitments. Additional funding is being sought to address current and future year pressures, with the objective of maintaining the integrity of the public complaint and review process.
