CATSA is committed to supporting Government of Canada priorities, as set out in the Speech from the Throne, the government’s budget plans, the mandate letter from the Prime Minister to the Minister of Transport, and the letter of expectations from the Minister of Transport to the Chairperson of CATSA’s Board of Directors (see Appendix A).
Under provisions of the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority Act (the CATSA Act), and within the framework of the Aeronautics Act, CATSA is responsible for the screening of persons who access aircraft or restricted airport areas, the property in their possession or control, and the belongings that they give to an air carrier for transportation at designated airports across the country.
Risk management is embedded into strategic decision-making and resource allocation within CATSA, thereby allowing the organization to make informed decisions at the corporate and operational levels.
CATSA manages its corporate risks through an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework, and maintains a comprehensive overview of its risk profile, including descriptions of key operational and financial risks, risk ratings as measured by likelihood and impact of risk occurrence, and risk mitigation strategies.
CATSA’s overall risk attitude is conservative and flexible.
CATSA’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and approved by the Accounting Standards Board of Canada (AcSB).
Note that the financial statements below do not include cost recovery (refer to page 16 for more information).
In my capacity as Chief Financial Officer of the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA), accountable to the Board of Directors of CATSA through the Chief Executive Officer, I have reviewed the 2025/26 – 2029/30 Corporate Plan and budgets, and the supporting information that I considered necessary, as of the date indicated below. Based on this due diligence review, I make the following conclusions:
CATSA uses a number of key indicators to set operational performance targets and to monitor, assess and report on progress and achievements in areas of critical importance to the fulfillment of its mandate, mission, and strategic objectives.
