Unaudited Financial Statements 2013-14

For the Year Ended March 31, 2014 Canadian Intergovernmental Conference Secretariat   Statement of Management Responsibility Including Internal Control over Financial Reporting Responsibility for the integrity and objectivity of the accompanying financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2014, and all information contained in these statements rests with the management of the Canadian Intergovernmental conference Secretariat (CICS) These financial statements have been prepared by management using the Government’s accounting policies, which are based on Canadian public sector accounting standards. 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’s 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 CICS’s financial transactions. Financial information submitted in the preparation of the Public Accounts of Canada, and included in the CICS’s Departmental Performance Report, is consistent with these financial statements. 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 Financial Administration Act and other applicable legislation, regulations, authorities and policies. 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 CICS’s and through conducting an annual risk-based assessment of the effectiveness of the system of ICFR. The system of ICFR is designed to mitigate risks to a reasonable level based on an on-going process to identify key risks, to assess effectiveness of associated key controls, and to make any necessary adjustments. The CICS is subject to periodic Core Control Audits performed by the Office of the Comptroller General and uses the results of such audits to comply with the Treasury Board Policy on Internal Control. A Core Control Audit was performed in 2011-12 by the Office of the Comptroller General of Canada (OCG). The Audit Report and related Management Action Plan are posted on the departmental web site at respectively Core Control Audit of the Canadian Intergovernmental Conference Secretariat and CICS Management Action Plan. The financial statements of the CICS have not been audited.     André M. McArdle, Secretary Ottawa, Canada  September 9th, 2014       Brian J.
