FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2013

Statement of Management Responsibility Including Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Responsibility for the integrity and objectivity of the accompanying financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2013,and all information contained in these statements rests with the management of the Office of the Superintendent of FinancialInstitutions (OSFI). These financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with InternationalFinancial Reporting Standards.

Some of the information in the financial statements is based on management's best estimates and judgment, and gives dueconsideration to materiality. To fulfill its accounting and reporting responsibilities, management maintains a set of accountsthat provides a centralized record of OSFI’s financial transactions.

Management is also responsible for maintaining an effective system of internal control over financial reporting designed toprovide reasonable assurance that financial information is reliable, that assets are safeguarded and that transactions areproperly 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 an organizational structure that provides appropriate divisions ofresponsibility; through communication programs aimed at ensuring that regulations, policies, standards, and managerialauthorities are understood throughout OSFI; and through conducting an annual assessment of the effectiveness of the systemof internal control over financial reporting.

An assessment for the year ended March 31, 2013 was completed in accordance with the Treasury Board Secretariat’sPolicy on Internal Control and the results and action plan are summarized in the annex.

The system of internal control over financial reporting 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 any necessaryadjustments.

The effectiveness and adequacy of OSFI’s system of internal control is reviewed by the risk based work of internal auditstaff, who conduct periodic risk based audits of different areas of OSFI’s operations, and by OSFI’s Audit Committee,which oversees management's responsibilities for maintaining adequate control systems and the quality of financialreporting, and which reviews and provides advice to the Superintendent on the audited financial statements.

Deloitte LLP has audited the financial statements of OSFI and reports on their audit to the Minister of Finance. This reportdoes not include an audit opinion on the annual assessment of the effectiveness of OSFI's internal controls over financialreporting.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Minister of Finance We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, which comprise the statement of financial position as at March 31, 2013, and the statement of operations and total comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions as at March 31, 2013, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Other Matter

The statement of financial position as at March 31, 2012 and the statement of operations and total comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended were audited by another auditor who issued an unmodified opinion on June 22, 2012.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2013 (in thousands of Canadian dollars)

1. AUTHORITY AND OBJECTIVES

Mandate

The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) was established by the Office of the Superintendentof Financial Institutions Act (OSFI Act) in 1987. Pursuant to the Financial Administration Act (FAA), OSFI is adivision of the Government of Canada for the purposes of that Act and is listed in schedule I.1 of the Act. TheGovernment of Canada is OSFI’s parent and the ultimate controlling party of OSFI.

In 1996, OSFI subsequently received a legislated mandate that clarified its objectives in the regulation andsupervision of federal financial institutions and private pension plans. In support of a safe and sound Canadianfinancial system, OSFI’s mandate under the legislation is to:

• Supervise federally regulated financial institutions (FRFIs) and private pension plans to determine whether theyare in sound financial condition and meeting minimum plan funding requirements respectively, and arecomplying with their governing law and supervisory requirements;

• Promptly advise institutions and plans in the event there are material deficiencies and take, or requiremanagement, boards or plan administrators to take, necessary corrective measures expeditiously;

• Advance and administer a regulatory framework that promotes the adoption of policies and procedures designedto control and manage risk;

• Monitor and evaluate system-wide or sectoral issues that may impact institutions negatively.

The Office of the Chief Actuary provides a range of actuarial valuation and advisory services, under the CanadaPension Plan Act and the Public Pensions Reporting Act to the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and some federalgovernment departments, including the provision of advice in the form of reports tabled in Parliament.

Revenue and spending authority

Pursuant to Section 17 of the OSFI Act, the Minister of Finance may spend any revenues collected under Sections 23and 23.1 of the OSFI Act to defray the expenses associated with the operation of OSFI. The Act also establishes aceiling for expenses to be drawn from the Consolidated Revenue Fund of Canada (CRF) at $40 million above theamount of revenue collected.

OSFI’s revenues comprise assessments, service charges and fees. The expenses against which assessments may becharged include those in connection with the administration of the Bank Act, the Cooperative Credit AssociationsAct, the Green Shield Canada Act, the Insurance Companies Act, the Protection of Residential Mortgage orHypothecary Insurance Act and the Trust and Loan Companies Act. The formula for the calculation of assessmentsis included in regulations.

Section 23 (2) of the OSFI Act provides that assessments may be charged for the administration of the PensionBenefits Standards Act, 1985 (PBSA, 1985) and the Pooled Registered Pension Plans Act. The assessments are setannually by regulation pursuant to Section 23 (2) of the OSFI Act.

Section 23.1 of the OSFI Act provides that the Superintendent may assess against a person a prescribed charge(“service charge”) and applicable disbursements for any service provided by or on behalf of the Superintendent forthe person's benefit or the benefit of a group of persons of which the person is a member. “Person” includesindividuals, corporations, funds, unincorporated associations, Her Majesty in Right of Canada or of a province, and aforeign government. The service charges are detailed in the regulations.




1. AUTHORITY AND OBJECTIVES (continued)

Pursuant to Section 16 of the OSFI Act, Parliament has provided annual appropriations to support the operations ofthe Office of the Chief Actuary.

2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2013 were authorized for issue by the Superintendent ofFinancial Institutions on June 20, 2013. The head office is located at 255 Albert Street in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.OSFI’s principal activities are described in Note 1.

3. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for cash entitlement which has beenmeasured at fair value.

The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars because that is the currency of the primary economicenvironment in which OSFI operates.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements of OSFI have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards(IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The accounting policies used in thefinancial statements are based on the IFRS applicable as at March 31, 2013, and encompasses individual IFRS,International Accounting Standards (“IAS”), and interpretations made by the International Financial ReportingInterpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) and the Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”). The policies set outbelow are consistently applied to all periods presented.

4. NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET ADOPTED

(i) Financial Instruments

IFRS 9, "Financial Instruments" (“IFRS 9”) was issued by the IASB in November 2009 and revised on October 28,2010, and will replace IAS 39, "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement". IFRS 9 uses a singleapproach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiplerules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context ofits business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Two measurement categoriescontinue to exist to account for financial liabilities in IFRS 9, "Fair value through net results" (“FVTNR”) andamortized cost. Financial liabilities held for trading are measured at FVTNR, and all other financial liabilities aremeasured at amortized cost unless the fair value option is applied. The treatment of embedded derivatives under thenew standard is consistent with IAS 39 and is applied to financial liabilities and non-derivative hosts not within thescope of the standard. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015, with earlyadoption permitted. At this time, management has determined that the impact of IFRS 9 on the financial statements isnot expected to be significant.




4. NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET ADOPTED (continued)

(ii) Fair value measurement

IFRS 13, "Fair Value Measurement" (“IFRS 13”), a comprehensive standard for fair value measurement anddisclosure requirements for use across all IFRS standards, was issued by the IASB on May 12, 2011. The newstandard clarifies that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability in anorderly transaction between market participants, at the measurement date. It also establishes disclosures about fairvalue measurement. IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. At this time,management has determined that the impact of IFRS 13 on the financial statements is not expected to be significant.

(iii) Accounting for employee benefits

In June 2011, the IASB issued significant amendments to IAS 19, "Employee Benefits" (“IAS 19”). These changesaffect the recognition of actuarial gains and losses by removing the option to use the corridor approach and requiringimmediate recognition in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). These OCI amounts cannot be reclassified to theStatement of Operations when the liability is ultimately settled. There are also changes to the recognition,measurement and presentation of past service costs, cost of benefits and finance expense or income relating toemployee benefits. Further, termination benefits are recognized as a liability at the earlier of when the entity can nolonger withdraw the offer of the termination benefit or when it recognizes any related restructuring costs. There areadditional disclosure requirements. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1,2013 and is generally applied retrospectively with certain exceptions.

Upon retrospective application of the revised standard, the expected impacts to the annual 2013 results, includingthe related change in presentation discussed below, are as follows:

Net results will be increased by the actuarial losses of $3,108 currently recorded in the Statement of

Operations and Total Comprehensive Income.

OCI will be decreased by the actuarial losses of $3,108 now presented in OCI.

The total of net Results and OCI will be equal to net results currently presented in the Statement of

Operations and Total Comprehensive Income as OSFI does not currently use the corridor approach.

(iv) Presentation of items of other comprehensive income

In June 2011, IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, "Presentation of Financial Statements" (“IAS 1”). Theseamendments include a requirement for entities to group items presented in other comprehensive income on the basisof whether they are potentially reclassifiable to net results subsequently (reclassification adjustments), andemphasize the importance of presenting net results and other comprehensive income together and with equalprominence. The amendment is effective for annual periods starting on or after July 1, 2012.




5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies of OSFI are set out below:

a) Cash entitlement (Cash overdraft)

OSFI does not have its own bank account. The financial transactions of OSFI are processed through the CRF. Cashentitlement represents the maximum amount OSFI is entitled to withdraw from the CRF without further authority.

Through the Annual Reference Level Update (ARLU) estimates process, OSFI secures a revolving expenditureauthority pursuant to Section 17.4 of the OSFI Act. This authority enables OSFI to draw up to $40 million from theCRF to ensure availability of funds prior to receipt of revenue. Drawings on this facility are presented as cashoverdraft.

No interest is earned or charged on these amounts.

b) Financial instruments

The classification of financial instruments is determined by OSFI at initial recognition and depends on the purposefor which the financial assets were acquired, or liabilities were incurred. All financial instruments are recognizedinitially at fair value. The fair value of financial instruments on initial recognition is based on the transaction price,which represents the fair value of the consideration given or received. Subsequent to initial recognition, financialinstruments are measured based on the accounting treatment corresponding to their classification.

Classification Accounting Treatment

Fair Value through netResults

Cash Entitlement is classified as “Fair Value through net results”.

Cash Entitlement is measured at fair value.

Loans and Receivables Trade and Other Receivables and Accrued Base Assessments are classified as“Loans and Receivables”.

Loans and Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed ordeterminable payments that are not quoted in an active market.

Subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, Loans and Receivables are measuredat amortized cost using the effective interest method, less impairment, if any. Anygain, loss or interest income is recorded in revenues or expenses depending on thenature of the loan and receivable that gave rise to the gain, loss or income.

Financial LiabilitiesMeasured at Amortized Cost

Accrued Salaries and Benefits, Trade and Other Payables excluding employer’scontributions for employee benefit plans, Unearned Base Assessments, andUnearned Pension Plan Fees are classified as “Financial Liabilities Measured atAmortized Cost”.

Financial Liabilities Measured at Amortized Cost are non-derivative financialliabilities that have not been designated as Financial Liabilities at fair value throughnet results.

Subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, Financial Liabilities are measured atamortized cost using the effective interest method. Any gain, loss or interestexpense is recorded in revenues or expenses depending on the nature of thefinancial liability that gave rise to the gain, loss or expense.




5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Impairment of financial assets

OSFI assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group offinancial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if,there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initialrecognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flowsof the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, OSFI first assesses individually whether objective evidence ofimpairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assetsthat are not individually significant. If OSFI determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for anindividually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assetswith similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individuallyassessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognized are not included in acollective assessment of impairment. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has incurred, the amountof the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimatedfuture cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The present value of theestimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an eventoccurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reduced byadjusting the allowance account. If a future write-off is later recovered, the recovery is credited to the Statement ofOperations and Total Comprehensive Income.

c) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and/or accumulatedimpairment losses, if any. Historical cost includes the costs of replacing parts of property and equipment whenincurred, if the recognition criteria are met. Repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the Statement ofOperations and Total Comprehensive Income as incurred.

Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Assets Useful Life

Leasehold improvements Lesser of useful life or remaining term of the leaseFurniture and fixtures 7 yearsOffice equipment 4 yearsInformatics hardware 3 or 5 yearsInformatics infrastructure (Networks) 4 or 5 yearsInformatics software 5 years

Software is capitalized as property, plant and equipment when the software is integral to the use of the relatedhardware.

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end, andadjusted prospectively if appropriate.





d) Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of internally developed and externally purchased software that is not an integral part to therelated hardware.

Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the historical cost model is appliedrequiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of internally developedsoftware consists of directly attributable costs necessary to create, produce, and prepare the software to be capable ofoperating in the manner intended by OSFI.

OSFI holds intangible assets that have finite lives and are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed forimpairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period andthe amortization method is reviewed at least at each financial year end. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of five years and is recorded in the relevant expense line itemdepending on the business activity to which the expense pertains.

Amortization of the assets begins when development is complete and the assets are available for use. They areamortized over the period of expected future benefit.

Costs incurred during the pre-development stage are expensed in the period incurred.

e) Impairment of non-financial assets

OSFI assesses at each reporting date whether there are any internal indicators that an asset may be impaired (e.g.damaged assets or assets no longer being used). If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for anasset is required, OSFI estimates the asset’s recoverable amount.

An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost to sell and its value in use. Where thecarrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down toits recoverable amount. There is no risk of not recovering the carrying amount of the asset given OSFI’s ability torecover all costs from Federally Regulated Financial Institutions and Federally Regulated Private Pension Plans.

OSFI assesses internally developed intangible assets not yet in use for impairment on an annual basis.

f) Employee benefits

i. Short term benefits

Short term benefits are recorded in the Statement of Operations and Total Comprehensive Income when an employeehas rendered the service. Unpaid short-term compensated leave that has vested at the reporting date is accrued atyear end and not discounted. Short-term compensated leave expected to occur within twelve months of the reporting

date is classified as short-term employee benefits. OSFI contributes to the Government of Canada sponsored PublicService Health Care Plan and Dental Service Plan for employees.





ii. Post employment benefits

Pension benefitsSubstantially all of the employees of OSFI are covered by the public service pension plan (the “Plan”), acontributory defined benefit plan established through legislation and sponsored by the Government of Canada.Contributions are required by both the employees and OSFI to cover current service cost. Pursuant to legislationcurrently in place, OSFI has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions with respect to anypast service or funding deficiencies of the Plan. Consequently, contributions are recognized as an expense in theyear when employees have rendered service and represent the total pension obligation of OSFI.

Severance On termination of employment, employees are entitled to certain benefits provided for under their conditions ofemployment through a severance benefits plan. The cost of these benefits is accrued as the employees render theirservices necessary to earn severance benefits. The severance benefits are based upon the final salary of theemployee.

The cost of benefits is actuarially determined as at March 31 of each year using the projected benefit methodprorated on services. The obligation is unfunded. The calculation of the liability is based upon a current marketdiscount rate which is based on the market yields at the valuation date on high quality corporate bonds and otheractuarial assumptions, which represent management’s best long-term estimates of factors such as future wageincreases and employee resignation rates. All actuarial gains (losses) are recognized in Statement of Operations andTotal Comprehensive Income in the period in which they arise.

Other benefitsThe Government of Canada sponsors a variety of other benefit plans from which former employees may benefit uponretirement. The Public Service Health Care Plan and the Pensioners’ Dental Service Plan are the two major plansavailable to OSFI retirees. These are defined benefit plans sponsored by the Government of Canada. Contributionsare required by OSFI to cover current service cost. Pursuant to legislation currently in place, OSFI has no legal orconstructive obligation to pay further contributions with respect to any past service or funding deficiencies of thePlan. Consequently, contributions are recognized as an expense in the year when employees have rendered serviceand represent the total obligation of OSFI with respect to these plans.

iii. Other long-term benefits

Sick leaveEmployees are eligible to accumulate sick leave until retirement or termination. Unused sick leave is not eligible forpayment on retirement or termination, nor can it be used as vacation. All sick leave is an accumulating non-vestingbenefit. A liability is recorded for sick leave balances expected to be taken in excess of future allotments.

The cost of sick leave as well as the present value of the obligation is determined using an actuarial valuation. Anygains and losses are recognized in net results in the period in which they arise.





g) Leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor areclassified as operating leases. Payments under operating leases (net of any incentives received from thelessor) are charged to the Statement of Operations and Total Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basisover the period of the lease.

OSFI does not have borrowing authority and therefore cannot enter into lease agreements that are classified asfinance leases. OSFI has established procedures to review all lease agreements and identify if the proposed termsand conditions would result in a transfer to OSFI of substantially all the benefits and risks incidental to ownership.

OSFI records the costs associated with operating leases in the Statement of Operations and Total ComprehensiveIncome in the period in which they are incurred.

h) Statement of Operations and Total Comprehensive Income

The format of the Statement of Operations and Total Comprehensive Income has been designed to show therevenues and expenses by each of OSFI’s business lines. It is considered that this format best represents the natureof the activities of OSFI. Expenses have been disclosed by nature in Note 14 of these financial statements.

i) Revenue recognition

OSFI recognizes revenue so as to recover its expenses. Any amounts that have been billed for which costs have notbeen incurred are classified as unearned on the statement of financial position. Revenue is recorded in theaccounting period in which it is earned (service provided) whether or not it has been billed or collected. At the endof the period, amounts may have been collected in advance of the incurrence of costs or provision of services,alternatively, amounts may not have been collected and are owed to OSFI.

Base Assessments – Revenue from base assessments is recognized based on actual costs incurred as services arecharged based on cost recovery and all costs are considered recoverable. Base Assessments are billed annuallybased on an estimate of the current fiscal year’s operating costs (an interim assessment) together with a finalaccounting of the previous year’s assessment for actual costs incurred. Assessments are calculated prior toDecember 31 of each year, in accordance with Section 23(1) of the OSFI Act and the Assessment of FinancialInstitutions Regulations, 2001. Differences between billed estimates and actual cost incurred at the end of the periodare recorded as accrued base assessments or unearned base assessments.

Pension Plan Fees are earned from registered pension plans. Fee rates are set annually by regulation based onbudgeted expenses, pension plan membership and actual results from previous years. Pension plan fees are chargedin accordance with Section 23(2) of the OSFI Act. Revenue from pension plan fees is recognized based on actualcosts incurred as services are charged based on cost recovery and all costs are considered recoverable. Differencesbetween the amounts billed to industry and actual cost incurred at the end of the period are recorded as accruedpension plan fees or unearned pension plan fees.





User Fees and Charges include revenue earned pursuant to the Charges for Services Provided by the Office of theSuperintendent of Financial Institutions Regulations, 2002 - as amended from time to time – in respect of legislativeapprovals and approvals for supervisory purposes, and surcharges assessed to federally regulated financialinstitutions assigned a “stage” rating pursuant to the Guide to Intervention for Federal Financial Institutions.Assessment surcharges are charged in accordance with the Assessment of Financial Institutions Regulations, 2001.Revenue from user fees and charges is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the service. Percentageof completion is measured based on actual services performed to date as a percentage of total services to becompleted.

Administrative Monetary Penalties are penalties levied to financial institutions when they contravene a provision ofa financial institutions Act and are charged in accordance with the Administrative Monetary Penalties (OSFI)Regulations. Penalties levied are not available to reduce the net costs that OSFI assesses the industry (i.e., they arenon-respendable) and are remitted to the Consolidated Revenue Fund when collected. OSFI assesses itsAdministrative Monetary Penalty revenue against specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal oragent. OSFI has concluded that it is acting as a principal for Administrative Monetary Penalty revenue.

Cost-Recovered Services represent revenue earned from sources other than those listed above. These services areprovided in accordance with the terms and conditions agreed to by the transacting parties. Revenue from cost-recovered services is recognized based on actual costs incurred and all costs are considered recoverable.Revenue and the matching expenses from cost recovered services not specifically related to the Regulation andSupervision of Federally Regulated Private Pension Plans or Actuarial Valuation and Advisory Services aregrouped with the Regulation and Supervision of Federally Regulated Financial Institutions on the Statement ofOperations and Total Comprehensive Income. This includes items recovered from other government entitiessuch as the cost of supervision of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation in accordance with theNational Housing Act.

j) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when OSFI has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it isprobable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and areliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The expense relating to any provision is presented inthe Statement of Operations and Total Comprehensive Income. If the effect of the time value of money is material,provisions are discounted using a rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Wherediscounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized in net results.

k) Government funding

Government funding, including parliamentary appropriations, are recognized where there is reasonable assurancethat the funding will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the funding relates to anexpense item, it is recognized as income over the period necessary to match the funding on a systematic basis to thecosts that it is intended to compensate. The funding and the corresponding expense item are recognized at theirgross amounts.




6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of OSFI’s financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptionsthat affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingentliabilities, at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result inoutcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability in which case, the impactwill be recognized in the financial statements of a future fiscal period.

Judgments

In the process of applying its accounting policies, management has made the following judgments which have themost significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:

Recognition of Internally Developed Software

The accounting policy relating to OSFI’s intangible assets is described in Note 5 (d). In applying this policy,judgment is used in determining whether the internally developed software meets the criteria for recognition as anasset. If an asset has been developed, judgment is required to identify the point at which the asset is capable of beingused as intended and to identify the directly attributable costs to be included in the carrying value of the developmentasset.

Operating lease commitments – OSFI as lessee

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) enters into commercial property leases for OSFI's officespace and recovers such cost from OSFI. OSFI also enters into leases for certain office equipment. OSFI hasdetermined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, that significantly all of the risksand rewards of ownership have not been transferred to OSFI and as such accounts for these contracts as operatingleases.

Administrative monetary penalty revenue – OSFI as principal

OSFI collects administrative monetary penalties from financial institutions when they contravene a provision of afinancial institutions Act. OSFI has determined that it is the principal in the arrangement and has recorded theadministrative monetary penalties as revenue.

Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the Statement ofFinancial Position date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assetsand liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:

Estimated useful lives of assets

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are based on management’sintentions with respect to the asset, historical experience with the asset, internal asset management plans and otherfactors as determined by management. The useful lives are reviewed on an annual basis and any revisions to theuseful lives are accounted for prospectively.




6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS(continued)

Severance benefits

The cost of the defined benefit severance plan as well as the present value of the obligation is determined using anactuarial valuation. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, future salaryincreases, and departure rates. All assumptions are reviewed annually as at March 31. In determining theappropriate discount rate management considers the interest rates of corporate bonds in Canada with an AAA or AArating and with maturities matching the estimated cash flows of the severance payments. Departure rates are basedon experience from the public service of Canada and include mortality, disability, termination and retirement. Futuresalary increases and pension increases are based on expected future inflation rates in Canada.

Further details about the assumptions used are given in Note 12 (a).

Sick leave

The cost of sick leave as well as the present value of the obligation is determined using an actuarial valuation. Theactuarial valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, future salary increases, usage rates, anddeparture rates. All assumptions are reviewed annually as at March 31. In determining the appropriate discount ratemanagement considers the interest rates of corporate bonds in Canada with an AAA or AA rating and with maturitiesmatching the estimated sick leave usage. Departure rates are based on experience from the public service of Canadaand include mortality, disability, termination and retirement. Future salary increases are based on expected futureinflation rates in Canada.

Discount Rates

Since the estimated cash flows of the severance payments and the estimated sick leave usage are unrelated, thediscount rates determined above may differ.

7. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (continued)

OSFI records an allowance for doubtful accounts considering the age of an outstanding receivable and the likelihoodof its collection. Provisions are also made where collection of the receivable is doubtful based on informationgathered through collection efforts. An allowance is reversed once collection of the debt is successful or the amountis written off. Impairment losses on trade and other receivables recognized during the year ended March 31, 2013were $160 (March 31, 2012: $100). Recoveries during the year ended March 31, 2013 totaled $69 (March 31, 2012:$33).

A receivable will be considered to be impaired and written off when OSFI is certain that collection will not occurand all requirements of the OSFI Act or the Debt Write-Off Regulations, 1994 have been met. During the year, nointerest was earned on impaired assets and none of the past due amounts were renegotiated. Those that are neitherpast due nor provided for or impaired are considered to be fully collectible.

The aging of non-related party trade receivables was as follows (for terms and conditions relating to related partyreceivables, refer to Note 8:

Theirfair value is insignificant.

11. PROVISIONS

In its normal course of operations, OSFI is involved in claims and litigation for which provisions are made to theextent determinable, in accordance with accounting policy Note 5 (j). During the year, OSFI settled a pay equityclaim dating from 1987 to 1997 in the amount of $1,332 which was previously fully provisioned and included inaccrued salaries and benefits. As a result of the settlement, $3,007 of the amount that had previously been accruedwas recognized as a reduction in Human Resources Expenses with corresponding adjustments to Revenues from theRegulation and Supervision of Federally Regulated Financial Institutions in the Statement of Operations and TotalComprehensive Income and Unearned Base Assessments on the Statement of Financial Position as at year-end.

The amount was not previously disclosed in the financial statements as it was determined that disclosure of thedetails of the provision would have seriously prejudiced OSFI’s position.




12. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

a) Post-employment benefits

i. Pension benefits

Substantially all of the employees of OSFI are covered by the public service pension plan (the “Plan”), acontributory defined benefit plan established through legislation and sponsored by the Government of Canada.Contributions are required by both the employees and OSFI. The President of the Treasury Board of Canada sets therequired employer contributions based on a multiple of the employees’ required contribution. The generalcontribution rate effective as at March 31, 2013 was 12.062% (2012 - 12.345%). Total contributions of $9,074(2012 - $8,690) were recognized as expense in the year ended March 31, 2013.

The Government of Canada holds a statutory obligation for the payment of benefits relating to the Plan. Pensionbenefits generally accrue up to a maximum period of 35 years at an annual rate of 2 percent of pensionable servicetimes the average of the best five consecutive years of earnings. The benefits are coordinated with Canada/QuébecPension Plan benefits and they are indexed to inflation.

ii. Severance benefits

Information about OSFI’s severance benefit plan is presented in the table below.

1 The cost corresponding to annual changes in the accrued benefit liability is recovered from OSFI's various sources of revenue outlined inNote 5 (i) to the financial statements. Amounts collected in excess of benefits paid are presented on the statement of financial position under theheading of Cash Entitlement.




12. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (continued)

Annually, as at March 31 of each year, OSFI obtains an actuarial valuation of its accrued benefit obligation.Actuarial assumptions are reviewed at each valuation date. Cumulative actuarial losses recorded in net results sinceApril 1, 2010, the date of OSFI’s transition to IFRS is $2,582 (2012 - $1,331).

The significant actuarial assumption adopted in measuring OSFI’s accrued benefit obligation is a discount rate of3.55% (2012 - 4.0%,). For measurement purposes, management’s best estimate for the general salary increases toestimate the current service cost and the accrued benefit obligation as at March 31, 2013 is an annual economicincrease of 2.0% for the plan year 2014, 2.0% for 2015 (2012 - 1.5% for the plan year 2013 and 2.0% for 2014).Thereafter, an annual economic increase of 2.0% is assumed (2012 - 1.5%). The average remaining service periodof active employees covered by the benefit plan is 14 years (2012 - 13 years).

OSFI has adopted the following disclosure requirements prospectively from the date of transition to IFRS.

Amounts for the current and previous three periods are as follows:

Employee Benefits - Severance Accrued benefitobligation

Curtailment

Effective March 31, 2013 OSFI modified its severance plan. All employees covered by Professional Institute of thePublic Service of Canada (PIPSC) union ceased accumulating benefits under the severance plan. Employees weregiven three options with respect to the benefits accumulated under this plan. The choices were to take the severanceearned to date immediately as a cash payment, continue to defer payment until retirement or voluntary departure, or acombination of the latter two options. The curtailment loss in the current year of $396 is the additional cost to OSFIas a result of curtailing this plan. The curtailment loss represents the difference between the present value of theobligation if all employees deferred payment until retirement versus the present value of the total expected cashsettlement. The current portion of the accrued benefit obligation includes the expected payment to those employeeswho will chose an immediate payment.

Effective September 30, 2011 OSFI modified its severance plan for executive level employees. All executive levelemployees ceased accumulating benefits under the severance plan. Employees within this group were given thesame three options with respect to the benefits accumulated under this plan.





Sensitivity Analysis

The discount rate used to estimate the present value of the severance benefit obligation has a significant effect on theobligation at the end of the year, as well as on the current service and interest costs. A 1.0% change in the discountrate would have had the following effects for 2013.

Change in discount rate of 1.0% Increase Decrease

Accrued benefit obligation $ (407) $ 471

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. The relationship of a change in assumption tothe change in value may not be linear. Changes in one factor may result in changes in another which may magnify orcounteract the sensitivities.

1 The cost corresponding to annual changes in the accrued benefit liability is recovered from OSFI's various sources of revenue outlined inNote 5 (i) to the financial statements. Amounts collected in excess of benefits paid are presented on the statement of financial position under theheading of Cash Entitlement.

Annually, as at March 31 of each year, OSFI obtains an actuarial valuation of its accrued benefit obligation.Actuarial assumptions are reviewed at each valuation date. Cumulative actuarial (gains) losses recorded in netresults since April 1, 2010, the date of OSFI’s transition to IFRS is $2,216 (2012 - $359).





The significant actuarial assumption adopted in measuring OSFI’s accrued benefit obligation is a discount rate of3.73% (2012 - 4.0%). For measurement purposes, management’s best estimate for the general salary increases toestimate the current service cost and the accrued benefit obligation as at March 31, 2013 is an annual economicincrease of 2.0% for the plan year 2014, 2.0% for 2015 (2012 - 1.5% for the plan year 2013 and 2.0% for 2014).Thereafter, an annual economic increase of 2.0% is assumed (2012 - 1.5%). The average remaining service periodof active employees covered by the benefit plan is 14 years (2012 - 13 years).

OSFI has adopted these disclosure requirements prospectively from the date of transition to IFRS.

Amounts for the current and previous three periods are as follows:

Sensitivity Analysis

The discount rate and sick leave usage rate used to estimate the present value of the sick leave obligation has asignificant effect on the obligation at the end of the year, as well as on the current service and interest costs. A 1.0%change in the discount rate or the sick leave usage rate would have had the following effects for 2013.

Change in discount rate of 1.0% Increase Decrease

Accrued benefit obligation $ (473) $ 547

Change in the sick leave usage rate of 1.0% Increase Decrease

Accrued benefit obligation $ 257 $ (257)

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. The relationship of a change in assumption tothe change in value may not be linear. Changes in one factor may result in changes in another which may magnify orcounteract the sensitivities.

17. FAIR VALUE

OSFI’s financial instruments are primarily short term and their carrying values approximate their fair values.

18. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

OSFI’s financial liabilities include Accrued Salaries and Benefits, Trade and Other Payables, Unearned BaseAssessments and Unearned Pension Plan Fees. The main purpose of these liabilities is to provide short-termfinancing for OSFI’s operations. Financial assets include Cash Entitlement, Trade and Other Receivables andAccrued Base Assessments.

OSFI is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk, in connection with its financial instruments. OSFI's riskexposures and its processes to manage these risks did not change significantly during the year ended March 31,2013.

a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because ofchanges in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other pricerisk, such as equity risk. OSFI is exposed to currency risk on any amounts payable that are to be settled in acurrency other than the Canadian dollar but is not exposed to interest rate risk nor to other price risk.

Currency risk - Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuatebecause of changes in foreign exchange rates. OSFI’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange ratesrelates primarily to OSFI’s operating activities (when expenses are denominated in a currency other than theCanadian dollar).

OSFI manages its exposure to currency risk by structuring its contracts in Canadian dollars wherever possible. Themajority of OSFI’s transactions presented were denominated in Canadian dollars; as such, OSFI’s exposure tocurrency risk for all periods presented is insignificant.

There is no impact to revenues since all billings are done in Canadian dollars.

b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument, resulting in afinancial loss. The maximum exposure OSFI has to credit risk as at March 31, 2013 is $6,827(2012 - $6,938) which is equal to the carrying value of its Trade and Other Receivables and Accrued BaseAssessments.

All federally regulated financial institutions and federally regulated private pension plans are required to registerwith OSFI and pay the base assessments and fees as established by OSFI. Any loss incurred by OSFI as a result of acounterparty not meeting its obligations is recorded in the year incurred and collected in the following year throughassessments to the industry to which the balance pertains, as outlined in the OSFI Act. All remaining receivables arewith other Canadian federal and provincial government organizations, where there is minimal potential risk of loss.OSFI does not hold collateral as security.




18. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that OSFI will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with current andfuture financial liabilities. OSFI’s objective is to maintain sufficient Cash Entitlement through its collection of baseassessments, fees, cost recovered services and other charges in order to meet its operating requirements. OSFImanages liquidity risk through detailed annual planning and billing processes that are structured to allow forsufficient liquidity from one billing period to the next. OSFI’s objective is to accurately estimate its operating costsand cash requirements for the current year and to recover these through its interim base assessments, fees and othersources of revenue.

OSFI’s policy is to satisfy liabilities by the following means (in decreasing order of priority):

• Disbursing payments from its Cash Entitlement account• Drawing on its revolving expenditure authority, pursuant to Section 17.4 of the OSFI Act.

Drawings on this facility were $Nil as at March 31, 2013 (2012 - $Nil).

Refer to Note 1 for further information on OSFI’s authority and Note 5 (a) for further information on the accountingpolicies for its revolving spending authority.




18. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

The table below summarizes the maturity profile of OSFI’s financial liabilities as at March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012 based on contractual undiscounted payments. Since OSFI’s financial instruments are primarily shortterm, their carrying values approximate their fair values. When counterparty has a choice of when the amount ispaid, the liability is allocated to the earliest period in which OSFI can be required to pay. When amounts are due ininstallments, each installment is allocated to the earliest period in which OSFI can be required to pay.

Unearned Pension Plan Fees represent the accumulation of in-year surplus or deficit against fees collected. Theseare in turn paid or collected over a period of five years commencing one year from the year in which they wereestablished. OSFI does not charge nor pay interest to the various pension plans over the five years.




19. EQUITY OF CANADA

Contributed Surplus - OSFI was established on July 2, 1987 by the OSFI Act. OSFI was created through themerger of its two predecessor agencies – the Department of Insurance and the Office of the Inspector General ofBanks. To help fund OSFI’s first year of operations and establish a pool of working capital necessary to support itsannual assessment and expenditure cycle, OSFI was credited with the assessments that recovered the costs of itspredecessors for the previous fiscal year. This amount is reflected as contributed surplus.

Accumulated Deficit - The accumulated deficit was created as part of OSFI’s transition to accrual accounting underCanadian generally accepted accounting principles in fiscal 2000-2001. The transition to Canadian generallyaccepted accounting principles (CGAAP) accounts for $789 of the balance. On April 1, 2010 OSFI transitioned toIFRS from CGAAP which increased the accumulated deficit by $2,170. The balance as at March 31, 2011 increasedby an additional $380 as a result of the operations for the year ended March 31, 2011 as determined under IFRS.The balance has not changed since March 31, 2011.

Capital Management - OSFI includes Contributed Surplus and Accumulated Deficit, collectively entitled “Equityof Canada”, in its definition of capital. OSFI operates on a cost recovery basis. Its objective when managing capitalis to closely manage actual costs to those estimated and communicated to its paying stakeholders. Any operatingshortfall or excess is factored into the assessments and fees charged to regulated entities in the following year. OSFIfully recovered all of its costs incurred in the year.

OSFI is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirement.

OSFI did not change its capital management objectives, policies or processes during the year ended March 31, 2013.
