2022-23 SGI CANADA Annual Report

Responsibility for Financial Statements The consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Management and have been prepared in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards. In the opinion of Management, the consolidated financial statements fairly reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Saskatchewan Government Insurance (the Corporation) within reasonable limits of materiality. Preparation of financial information is an integral part of Management's broader responsibilities for the ongoing operations of the Corporation. Management maintains an extensive system of internal accounting controls to ensure that transactions are accurately recorded on a timely basis, are properly approved and result in reliable financial statements. In this regard, an annual statement of management responsibility is provided on the following page. In addition, the adequacy and operation of the control systems are monitored on an ongoing basis by an internal audit department. An actuary has been appointed by the Corporation to carry out a valuation of the policy liabilities in accordance with accepted actuarial practice and common Canadian insurance regulatory requirements. The policy liabilities consist of a provision for unpaid claim and adjustment expenses on the earned portion of policies and of future obligations on the unearned portion of policies. In performing this valuation, the actuary makes assumptions as to future rates of claim frequency and severity, inflation, reinsurance recoveries, expenses and other contingencies, taking into consideration the circumstances of the Corporation and the nature of the insurance policies. The actuary also makes use of Management information provided by the Corporation and the work of the external auditors in verifying the data used in the valuation. The consolidated financial statements have been examined and approved by the Board of Directors. An Audit, Finance and Conduct Review Committee, composed of members of the Board of Directors, meets periodically with financial officers of the Corporation and the external auditors. These external auditors have free access to this Committee, without Management present, to discuss the results of their audit work and their opinion on the adequacy of internal financial controls and the quality of financial reporting. As appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council and approved by Crown Investments Corporation of Saskatchewan, KPMG LLP have been appointed external auditors. Their responsibility is to report to the Members of the Legislative Assembly regarding the fairness of presentation of the Corporation's financial position and results of operations as shown in the consolidated financial statements. In carrying out their audit, the external auditors also make use of the work of the actuary and his report on the policy liabilities. The Auditor's Report outlines the scope of their examination and their opinion.
