2023 FINANCIAL STATEMENT

Strengthen IPC Governance and Accountability

In 2022, the IPC continued to strengthen its internal management and governance capacity by providing leadership and management training programs to its senior leaders and managers.

The IPC continued to enhance its modern controllership and fiscal best practices to ensure responsible use and greatest value of public funds. In this regard, the IPC met our financial target of a year-end balanced budget by spending within one per cent of our budget. As per the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act R.S.O. 1990, CHAPTER F.31, the financial statement of the IPC is audited on an annual basis by the Office of the Auditor General of Ontario.

As part of our 2022-23 annual planning cycle, we proposed further enhancements and changes to our organizational structure and operations to enhance accountability and deliver on the IPC’s evolving and growing mandate effectively. We look forward to implementing these improvements in 2023 and will report further on them in our next annual report.
