Statement of Management Responsibility Including Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Responsibility for the integrity and objectivity of the accompanying financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022, as well as for all information contained in these statements, rests with the management of the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (ORSCC). These financial statements have been prepared by management using the Government of Canada'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 ORSCC’s financial transactions. Financial information submitted for the preparation of the Public Accounts of Canada, and included in the ORSCC's Departmental Results 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 ORSCC, as well as by conducting an annual risk-based assessment of the effectiveness of the ICFR system.
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 necessary adjustments.
The ORSCC is subject to periodic Core Control Audits performed by the Office of the Comptroller General and uses the results of such audits to adhere with the Treasury Board Policy on Financial Management.
The financial statements of the ORSCC have not been audited.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the Year Ended March 31
1. Authority and objectives
Created by the Supreme Court Act in 1875, the Supreme Court of Canada is Canada's final court of appeal. It serves Canadians by deciding legal issues of public importance, thereby contributing to the development of all branches of law applicable within Canada. The independence of the Court, the quality of its work and the esteem in which it is held both in Canada and abroad contribute significantly as foundations for a secure, strong and democratic country founded on the Rule of Law. The Supreme Court of Canada is an important national institution, positioned at the pinnacle of the judicial branch of government in Canada, separate from and independent of the executive and legislative branches of government.
The Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (ORSCC) provides all necessary services and support for the Court to process, hear and decide cases. It also serves as the interface between litigants and the Court.
The ORSCC has a single Core Responsibility: The administration of Canada’s final court of appeal. This Core Responsibility is supported by two programs: Court Administration and Administration of the Judges Act for the Judges of the Supreme Court of Canada. In addition, the ORSCC is further supported by its Internal Services, which are services in support of programs and/or required to meet corporate obligations of the ORSCC.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
These financial statements have been prepared using the ORSCC's accounting policies stated below, which are based on Canadian public sector accounting standards. The presentation and results using the stated accounting policies do not result in any significant differences from Canadian public sector accounting standards.
Significant accounting policies are as follows:
- Parliamentary authorities
The ORSCC is financed by the Government of Canada through Parliamentary authorities. Financial reporting of authorities provided to the ORSCC do not parallel financial reporting according to generally accepted accounting principles since authorities are primarily based on cash flow requirements. Consequently, items recognized in the Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position and in the Statement of Financial Position are not necessarily the same as those provided through authorities from Parliament. Note 3 provides a reconciliation between the bases of reporting. The planned results amounts in the "Expenses" and "Revenues" sections of the Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position are the amounts reported in the Future-oriented Statement of Operations included in the 2021-22 Department Plan. Planned results are not presented in the "Government funding" section of the Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position and in the Statement of Change in Departmental Net Debt because these amounts were not included in the 2021-22 Departmental Plan.
- Net cash provided by Government
The ORSCC operates within the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF), which is administered by the Receiver General for Canada. All cash received by the ORSCC is deposited to the CRF, and all cash disbursements made by the ORSCC are paid from the CRF. The net cash provided by Government is the difference between all cash receipts and all cash disbursements, including transactions between departments of the Government.
- Amounts due from or to the CRF
Amounts due from or to the CRF are the result of timing differences at year-end between when a transaction affects authorities and when it is processed through the CRF. Amounts due from the CRF represent the net amount of cash that the ORSCC is entitled to draw from the CRF without further authorities to discharge its liabilities.
- Revenues
Sales and other revenues are recognized in the period the event giving rise to the revenues occurred.
Revenues that are non-respendable are not available to discharge the ORSCC's liabilities. While the Registrar is expected to maintain accounting control, she has no authority regarding the disposition of non-respendable revenues. As a result, these revenues are considered to be earned on behalf of the Government of Canada and are therefore presented as a reduction of the ORSCC's gross revenues.
- Expenses
Vacation pay and compensatory leave are accrued as the benefits are earned by employees under their respective terms of employment.
Services provided without charge by other government departments for accommodation, employer contributions to the health and dental insurance plans, interpretation services and security services are recorded as operating expenses at their carrying value.
- Future benefits
- Pension benefits:
Eligible employees participate in the Public Service Pension Plan, a multiemployer pension plan administered by the Government. The ORSCC’s contributions to the Plan are charged to expenses in the year incurred and represent the total departmental obligation to the Plan. The ORSCC's responsibility with regard to the Plan is limited to its contributions. Actuarial surpluses or deficiencies are recognized in the financial statements of the Government of Canada, as the Plan's sponsor.
Eligible federally appointed judges and their survivors are entitled to fully-indexed annuities providing that the judges meet minimum age and service requirements. The main benefits paid from this plan are recorded on a pay-as-you-go basis. They are included in the Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position as a component of salaries and benefits, and the judges' contributions are credited to revenues. Contributions made by the ORSCC and the judges pertaining to the portion of the plan that relates to indexation of benefits are recorded in the Judges' Supplementary Retirement Benefits Account, which is presented in the Statement of Financial Position. The ORSCC's contribution towards indexation is expensed at the time it is accrued in accordance with the Supplementary Retirement Benefits Act. The actuarial liability associated with the judges' pension plan is recorded in the financial statements of the Government of Canada, the ultimate sponsor of the Plan.
- Severance benefits:
The accumulation of severance benefits for voluntary departures ceased for applicable employee group. Employees were given the option to be paid the full or partial value of benefits earned to date or collect the full or remaining value of benefits upon departure from the public service. The remaining obligation for employees who did not withdraw benefits is calculated using information derived from the results of the actuarially determined liability for employee severance benefits for the Government as a whole.
- Pension benefits:
- Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at cost. When necessary, an allowance for valuation is recorded to reduce the carrying value of accounts receivable to amounts that approximate their net recoverable value.
- Non-financial assets
The cost of acquiring equipment and other capital property are capitalized as tangible capital assets and are amortized to expense over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as described in Note 9. All tangible capital assets and leasehold improvements having an initial cost of $10,000 or more are recorded at their acquisition cost. The ORSCC does not capitalize intangibles assets, works of art and historical treasures that have cultural, aesthetic or historical value.
- Measurement uncertainty
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported and disclosed amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes at March 31. The estimates are based on facts and circumstances, historical experience, general economic conditions and reflect the Government's best estimate of the related amount at the end of the reporting period. The most significant items where estimates are used are the liability for employee future benefits and the useful life of tangible capital assets. Actual results could significantly differ from those estimated. Management’s estimates are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are recorded in the financial statements in the year they become known.
- Related party transactions
Related party transactions, other than inter-entity transactions, are recorded at the exchange amount. Inter-entity transactions are transactions between commonly controlled entities. Inter-entity transactions, other than restructuring transactions, are recorded on a gross basis and are measured at the carrying amount, except for the following:- Services provided on a recovery basis are recognized as revenues and expenses on a gross basis and measured at the exchange amount.
- Certain services received on a without charge basis are recorded for departmental financial statement purposes at the carrying amount. Other related party transactions, other than inter-entity transactions, are recorded at the exchange amount.
- Services provided on a recovery basis are recognized as revenues and expenses on a gross basis and measured at the exchange amount.
3. Parliamentary authorities
The ORSCC receives most of its funding through annual parliamentary authorities. Items recognized in the Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position and the Statement of Financial Position in one year may be funded through parliamentary authorities in prior, current or future years. Accordingly, the ORSCC has different net results of operations for the year on a government funding basis than on an accrual accounting basis. The differences are reconciled in the following tables:
a. Reconciliation of net cost of operations to current year authorities used

Accrued liabilities | 2,318,755 | 1,646,223 |
Total accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 2,402,293 | 2,561,666 |
5. Employee future benefits
a. Pension benefits
The ORSCC’s employees participate in the public service pension plan (the "Plan"), which is sponsored and administered by the Government of Canada. Pension benefits accrue up to a maximum period of 35 years at a rate of 2 percent per year of pensionable service, times the average of the best five consecutive years of earnings. The benefits are integrated with Canada/Québec Pension Plans benefits and they are indexed to inflation.
Both the employees and the ORSCC contribute to the cost of the Plan. Due to the amendment of the Public Service Superannuation Act following the implementation of provisions related to Economic Action Plan 2012, employee contributors have been divided into two groups - Group 1 relates to existing plan members as of December 31, 2012 and Group 2 relates to members joining the Plan as of January 1, 2013. Each group has a distinct contribution rate.
The 2021-2022 expense amounts to $2,052,400 ($2,139,725 in 2020-2021). For Group 1 members, the expense represents approximately 1.01 times (1.01 times in 2020-2021) the employee contributions and, for Group 2 members, approximately 1.00 time (1.00 time in 2020-2021) the employee contributions.
The ORSCC's responsibility with regard to the Plan is limited to its contributions. Actuarial surpluses or deficiencies are recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Government of Canada, as the Plan's sponsor.
b. Severance benefits
Severance benefits provided to the ORSCC's employees were previously based on an employee's eligibility, years of service and salary at termination of employment. However, since 2011 the accumulation of severance benefits for voluntary departures progressively ceased for substantially all employees.
Employees subject to these changes were given the option to be paid the full or partial value of benefits earned to date or collect the full or remaining value of benefits upon departure from the public service. By March 31, 2022, substantially all settlements for immediate cash out were completed. Severance benefits are unfunded and, consequently, the outstanding obligation will be paid from future authorities.
The change in the obligations during the year were as follows:
(in dollars)
2022 | 2021 | |
---|---|---|
Accrued benefit obligation - Beginning of year | 580,112 | 652,293 |
Expense for the year | (41,057) | (35,814) |
Benefits paid during the year | (17,643) | (36,367) |
Accrued benefit obligation - End of year | 521,412 | 580,112 |
