Below is a condensed statement of the IRB's financial position as well as a condensed statement of operation. A complete set of financial statements can be found on the IRB's Web site at www.irb-cisr.gc.ca/Eng/brdcom/publications/peren/pages/dpr-rmr10.aspx.

Total assets were $12.0 million at the end of 2009-10, a decrease of $13.5 million (53 percent) from the previous year's total assets of $25.5 million. The decrease was mainly due to the write-off of the net book value of the Integrated Case Management System and to a decrease in the amount due from the Consolidated Revenue Fund resulting from a reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Total liabilities were $28.0 million at the end of 2009-10, a decrease of $6.7 million (19 percent) from the previous year's total liabilities of $34.7 million. The decrease was mainly due to a reduction in the year-end salary related accrued liabilities and employee future benefits.

Actual spending by program activity


Actual spending by program activity graph

[D]


During 2009-10, the IRB's total actual expenditures amounted to $114.1 million which were dedicated to the application of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. The large majority of these resources was allocated to the conduct of hearings and tribunal operations for the delivery of efficient justice in the cases referred to the Board, in accordance with the law. A smaller portion was dedicated to support services as well as to compliance with government policies and regulations to ensure stewardship of the program activities.

Fiscal year 2009-10 was marked by a large increase in the number of decision-makers to nearly a full complement by the last quarter. From a financial perspective, the previous personnel shortfall had provided the IRB with some flexibility (that came mainly from savings on salaries, benefits and operations) in order to work on short-term business improvement projects. This temporary flexibility disappeared by the end of the reporting period.

With the resources available, the IRB heard and rendered decisions in over 55,000 cases during 2009-10. The quantities, types and costs are illustrated on the diagram above. Overall, this represents a 14 percent increase in the number of decisions rendered over the previous reporting period.
