The CBSA is organized into seven branches. Each one is headed by a vice-president who reports directly to the President. The Executive Vice-President provides support to the President, concentrating on the leadership of the Agency's program and operational management, as well as the management of financial resources and comptrollership.
Operations are delivered in eight regions: Atlantic, Quebec, Northern Ontario, Greater Toronto Area, Windsor/St. Clair, Niagara/Fort Erie, Prairies and Pacific. CBSA officers are also located in 39 points abroad. The Admissibility and Enforcement branches develop the programs and policies that the Operations Branch delivers. The Innovation, Science and Technology Branch works with these branches to ensure that we maximize our capacity to support effective and efficient operations. Underpinning all our policy, program and operational work are the critical strategic and enabling functions that span the Strategy and Coordination, Human Resources and Comptrollership branches. The CBSA works closely with its Department of Justice Legal Services Unit to ensure that CBSA operations, service delivery, policy development, corporate direction and management are legally supportable.
This structure was chosen to encourage strong internal synergies among all program areas and to support clear accountability for all functions. Everything we do is focused on maximizing and supporting the performance of our front-line.

Summary
The CBSA seeks to contribute to a sustainable Canada, with the collaboration of its employees, by thinking and acting in innovative and modern ways. The CBSA's Sustainable Development Strategy 2007–2009 provides employees and stakeholders with a clear understanding of the CBSA's sustainable development direction and approach.
The Strategy establishes the link between sustainable development and existing policies, programs and operations rather than duplicating or expanding them. Through learning, we will lay the foundation for sustainable development in management and decision-making processes, thus achieving our mandate while contributing to a prosperous economy, the quality of the environment and social equity.

The Internal Audit Plan was initially approved by the Audit Committee in March 2005 and updated in June 2006. The plan was originally established for three fiscal years (2005-2006 through 2007-2008). However, it is currently being revised and a new multi-year plan for 2007 to 2009 is expected to be approved in the first quarter of the 2007-2008 fiscal year.
