PPS is a separate parliamentary entity responsible for all matters with respect to physical security throughout the Parliamentary Precinct and Parliament Hill. The Director executes his or her mandate under the joint general policy direction of the Speaker of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Commons. The Speakers of both Houses, being responsible for the Service, and the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, have entered into an arrangement to have the RCMP lead the physical security operations of the Service. As a parliamentary institution that is constitutionally independent of the Government of Canada, PPS is not subject to accounting policies and directives of the Treasury Board of Canada or any other Canadian Government department. Nevertheless, the PPS does recognize these policies and directives as sources for best practices and works to uphold the spirit in which they were written to the extent possible, given its unique context. PPS does not have an Internal Audit department. PPS has been preparing its Financial Statements in accordance with the Canadian public sector accounting standards and obtained unqualified auditor’s reports since its creation.
