Message from the President As I come to the end of my term as President of Engineers Nova Scotia, I am grateful to have served alongside such dedicated councillors, staff, volunteers, and registrants. This year has deepened my appreciation for the work involved in regulating our profession and for the many ways engineers contribute to their communities. Good governance has been a significant focus for Council. We have worked to clarify our responsibilities, strengthen financial oversight, and ensure our policies and processes support sound decisions. Governance and financial workshops helped build a shared understanding of Council’s duties. A Council task force also examined aspects of our financial practices and provided recommendations to guide further policy work. These efforts are part of the ongoing work of building an association that is accountable, effective, and worthy of public trust.

Dr. Jennie Rand, FEC, P.Eng. President, Engineers Nova Scotia

We have made progress on the review of the Engineering Profession Act. Following a comprehensive examination of the legislation, including comparisons with other jurisdictions and an assessment of regulatory risks, Engineers Nova Scotia shared its findings with government. Discussions are underway about a path toward modern legislation, regulations, and bylaws that reflect current engineering practice and support public protection. Alongside Geoscientists Nova Scotia, we raised concerns about the wording around “qualified persons” in Bill 137. Legislative change takes time, but this engagement is an important step. The demands of regulation are growing in other ways. Complaints and discipline work have become a larger part of the workload in Nova Scotia and for regulators across the country. Each matter requires careful attention, a fair process, and considerable time from

2025-26 Annual Report

staff and volunteers. Much of this work happens out of public view, yet it is central to protecting the public and maintaining confidence in the profession. It reinforces the importance of clear policy, sound governance, and the resources to carry out our mandate. I have appreciated the opportunities this year to hear directly from registrants about their work, their concerns, and their ideas for the association. Those conversations have helped bring practical issues forward and will be valuable as we develop our next strategic plan. The themes we continue to hear should help guide our priorities and keep our work connected to the people we serve. Women in Engineering and our broader equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility efforts are among the areas that will benefit from that continued input. Ahead of Council’s strategic discussions, I sought perspectives from people who have been involved in Women in Engineering initiatives. I also learned from colleagues at the Canadian Coalition of Women in Engineering, Science, Trades and Technology (CCWESTT) conference. These conversations offered useful ideas about how to turn our commitments into clear priorities and meaningful action. I have also been proud to represent Nova Scotia nationally. At Engineers Canada, I participated in discussions about governance reform and moderated a panel on collaboration and harmonization among regulators. Members supported significant changes to Engineers Canada’s governance, including a smaller Board and the addition of independent directors. It was encouraging to see member input contribute to decisions about the organization’s future. In the Presidents’ Group, we also explored how sharing tools and approaches can make it easier for engineers to practise across Canada, improve regulatory efficiency, and strengthen public protection. Effective collaboration depends on clear roles and respect for each regulator’s legislative responsibilities. Nova Scotia has valuable perspectives to offer and much to gain from working with colleagues across the country. Our staff ’s timely processing of applications is one example of the expertise Nova Scotia brings to these conversations. 2025-26 Annual Report

Engineers Nova Scotia’s work depends on registrants who contribute their time and expertise. Council and committee volunteers support decisions about entry to practice, develop professional guidance, recognize excellence, and help us respond to emerging issues. Engineers also mentor students, speak at community events, and help young people see a future for themselves in the profession. As a professor, I find that especially meaningful. The students preparing to become engineers will inherit the standards and opportunities we build today. Continuing education is another part of that responsibility. The return of professional development webinars and the shared Atlantic Learning Management Platform have expanded opportunities for registrants to develop their knowledge. Our annual conference gives engineers a chance to exchange ideas and learn from one another. These opportunities support competent practice as engineering methods, technologies, and public expectations evolve. There is important work ahead: continuing discussions on legislative reform, strengthening our governance, considering how artificial intelligence (AI) can support regulatory practice, and planning for a more accessible office that meets the association’s future needs. I leave encouraged by the progress we have made and by the care and thought people bring to these decisions. With President-elect Andrew’s leadership, the dedication of our staff, and the engagement of our registrants, I am confident the incoming Council is well placed to take on these challenges and continue strengthening the profession in Nova Scotia. Thank you to my fellow councillors and Council Executive for your judgment and commitment. Thank you to Pal, Kris, and all Engineers Nova Scotia staff for your expertise and partnership. I also want to thank Denise, the Director from Nova Scotia on the Engineers Canada Board, for her dedicated service and for keeping us informed about the Board’s work. And thank you to the registrants who volunteered, shared their views, or spoke with me this year. It has been an honour to serve as your President, and I look forward to supporting the next Council as it carries this work forward.

Message from the CEO & Registrar Reporting Period: August 1, 2025, to July 31, 2026 Year in Review The 2025-26 reporting year marked an important period of transition for Engineers Nova Scotia. While the organization continued to deliver its core regulatory responsibilities, much of the year's work focused on preparing the organization for the next decade of regulation. Several initiatives that had been under development for several years reached major milestones, while new projects were launched to support future growth, modernization, and organizational sustainability.

Pal Mann, P.Eng., CD, FEC, FCSSE, ICD.D. Chief Executive Officer, Registrar, & Secretary

The environment in which Engineers Nova Scotia operates continues to evolve. Nova Scotia experienced significant activity in housing, infrastructure, renewable energy, defence, advanced manufacturing, and technology sectors, all of which depend on a strong and competent engineering profession. At the same time, engineering regulators across Canada continued to address increasing labour mobility, the integration of internationally educated professionals, rapid technological change, and growing public expectations regarding transparency, accountability, and service delivery. Against this backdrop, Engineers Nova Scotia focused on strengthening regulatory effectiveness while investing in the systems and organizational capacity needed to meet future demands. Looking back, several themes emerged repeatedly throughout the year: modernization of the licensure process, digital transformation, organizational readiness, strengthened collaboration with partners, and a continued focus on public protection.

2025-26 Annual Report

Many of the year's most significant accomplishments occurred behind the scenes. Registrants may not immediately see the impact of the new database architecture, improved reporting systems, or strategic planning activities; however, these investments improve the organization's ability to regulate effectively when faced with changing circumstances and provide better service to applicants, registrants, volunteers, and the public.

Strategic and Regulatory Progress The most significant regulatory achievement of the year was the successful transition to Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) for all new applicants. This transition represents more than a change in the registration process. It reflects a broader approach to evaluating engineering competencies. By assessing demonstrated competencies rather than relying primarily on time-based experience requirements, Engineers Nova Scotia has aligned its practices with the national framework, providing greater transparency, consistency, and defensibility in licensing decisions. The transition required substantial preparation, including ongoing assessor recruitment and training, process development, quality assurance measures, and applicant support resources. The successful implementation of CBA was made possible through the efforts of staff, volunteer assessors, and collaboration with regulators across Canada. The organization also began exploring how the CBA framework could support more flexible pathways to licensure. One example is ongoing work with military engineering communities to examine how structured military engineering experience can be assessed within the competency framework. This initiative reflects an important principle underlying modern regulation: maintaining rigorous standards while recognizing that engineering competence can be developed through a variety of professional experiences. Digital modernization was another major area of focus. During the year, Engineers Nova Scotia completed the 2025-26 Annual Report

implementation of the Registration Administration Application and Database (RAAD), replacing a heavily customized legacy platform with a modern cloud-based system built on iMIS. This represented one of the largest technology projects undertaken by the organization in recent years. Staff from across the organization contributed to system configuration, testing, data migration, process redesign, communications, and training activities. Following implementation, effort shifted toward stabilization and continuous improvement, including dashboard development, reporting improvements, workflow refinements, and enhanced controls. The result is a more sustainable technology platform capable of supporting future regulatory and operational requirements. This was also a change management process for registrants as they moved to the new Engineers Nova Scotia portal; our thanks for their patience. Work also continued on practice support, professional sustainment, and continuing professional development initiatives. The Atlantic Learning Management System became an increasingly important tool for delivering continuing education opportunities to registrants across the region. Collaboration among engineering regulators in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador has created opportunities to share resources and improve access to learning opportunities while reducing duplication of effort. Several Atlantic region regulators outside engineering have inquired about collaborating in the system.

Governance, Stewardship and Strategic Development Council continued to provide effective oversight and strategic leadership throughout a period of significant organizational change. Beyond its regular governance responsibilities, Council addressed several important issues that will influence the future direction of Engineers Nova Scotia. One of the most visible examples was the Office Relocation Project. What began as an accommodation

study evolved into a broader strategic initiative examining workplace requirements, accessibility, technology integration, hybrid work models, operational efficiency, and long-term organizational sustainability. During the reporting period, accommodation analyses were completed, governance structures were established, procurement activities commenced, and an Office Relocation Task Force was formed to provide expert advice to management. While the project remains ongoing, important groundwork was completed that will support future decision-making. Council also continued to monitor progress against the Strategic Plan while beginning discussions that will ultimately inform development of the next strategic planning cycle. Strategic priorities such as digital modernization, Equity Diversity Inclusion and Accessibility (EDIA) implementation, volunteer engagement, Competency-Based Assessment, legislative modernization, continuing professional development, and organizational excellence continued to guide decision-making throughout the year. National collaboration remained an important component of the organization's work. Engineers Nova Scotia actively participated in the Engineers Canada Governance Review and broader discussions regarding the future role and structure of Engineers Canada as a national alliance of regulators. These discussions represent more than governance reform; they reflect fundamental questions about how regulators can work together to improve public protection, enhance mobility, and support a strong and consistent engineering profession across Canada. Engineers Nova Scotia played an active role in ensuring that Nova Scotia's perspective was represented during these conversations.

Financial Stewardship Engineers Nova Scotia remained in a strong financial position throughout the year and continued to demonstrate prudent stewardship of registrant resources.

2025-26 Annual Report

Strategic investments were carefully balanced against long-term sustainability objectives. Major expenditures associated with the RAAD modernization initiative were supported through governance processes designed to ensure appropriate oversight and accountability. These investments were undertaken with a long-term perspective, recognizing that modern regulatory organizations require robust digital infrastructure to operate effectively and efficiently. We continue to allocate year-end surpluses to internally restricted asset funds, supporting ongoing modernization while preserving the financial resilience needed to advance future strategic priorities and limit potential impacts on annual dues.

Organizational Capacity Equally important was the organization's investment in its people. Staff managed the demands of day-to-day regulatory operations while leading several major initiatives simultaneously. The year required adaptability, collaboration, and a willingness to embrace change. Significant effort was devoted to strengthening organizational processes, supporting employee development, improving performance management practices, and building the capacity required to sustain future growth. Over the year, we made deliberate decisions to leave several vacant positions unfilled until we had a clearer understanding of the skills and capacity needed to keep pace with the organization’s growing needs. We expect to begin filling those vacancies in the upcoming fiscal year.

Volunteers and Partners Engineers Nova Scotia's accomplishments are the result of the collective contributions of staff and volunteers, Council members, committee members, assessors, educators, and partner organizations. Partnerships with organizations such as Engineers Canada, the Atlantic regulators, Immigrant Services

Association of Nova Scotia (ISANS), Techsploration, Atlantic Science Links, Youth Science Canada, universities, employers, and other professional regulators continued to support the organization's objectives in areas including licensure, professional development, outreach, diversity, and public awareness. These relationships contribute to a stronger profession and enable Engineers Nova Scotia to extend its impact well beyond its own organizational resources. The contributions of volunteers deserve recognition. From governance and discipline matters to registration assessments and professional practice initiatives, volunteers contribute significant expertise and countless hours in support of the profession and the public interest. Their commitment remains the organization's greatest strength.

Looking Ahead As Engineers Nova Scotia enters the final year of its current Strategic Plan, attention will increasingly shift from implementation to optimization. Key priorities include continued stabilization and enhancement of RAAD, quality assurance for both Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) and the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program, advancement of legislative modernization discussions, progression of the office relocation initiative, continued collaboration with Engineers Canada and partner regulators. This sets the platform for the development of the 2028-2032 Strategic Plan.

Closing Remarks Our 2025-26 accomplishments demonstrate that organizational modernization is rarely the result of a single project or decision. Rather, it is achieved through a series of connected improvements that strengthen governance, promote transparency, improve service, build organizational resilience, and enhance public confidence. Engineers Nova Scotia enters the coming

2025-26 Annual Report

year well positioned to build on that foundation while continuing to fulfill its mandate of serving and protecting the public interest. Engineers Nova Scotia's success ultimately depends on the professionalism, competence, and integrity of its registrants. Every day, professional engineers and licence holders across Nova Scotia apply their knowledge and judgment to projects and decisions that shape communities, support economic growth, protect the environment, and safeguard public safety. On behalf of Council and staff, I extend sincere appreciation to all registrants for their continued commitment to ethical practice, lifelong learning, and the high standards expected of the engineering profession. The willingness of registrants to uphold these standards, support one another, contribute as volunteers, and engage constructively with the regulator is fundamental to protecting the public interest. I would also like to thank the many volunteers, committee members, assessors, mentors, employers, and partners who contribute their time, expertise, and perspective in support of the profession and the public interest. Through a shared commitment to excellence, accountability, and service from all of its registrants, Engineers Nova Scotia remains well positioned to meet future challenges and opportunities while continuing to protect the public and support the engineering profession throughout the province. With gratitude, DS (Pal) Mann, CD, FEC, FCSSE, P.Eng., ICD.D. CEO & Registrar, Engineers Nova Scotia

Message from Engineers Canada Dear friends and colleagues, As the Engineers Canada Director for Nova Scotia, it is my pleasure to share an update with you on the work and priorities at Engineers Canada. I am also very pleased to share with you that this year, I am a member of the Engineers Canada Governance Committee as well as the Canadian Engineering Qualifications Board (CEQB). As many of you know, Engineers Canada is the national organization of the provincial and territorial engineering regulators. Engineers Canada’s role is to support national collaboration, accredit undergraduate engineering programs, develop guidance and assessment tools, and represent Canada in international engineering agreements. This work helps support the provincial and territorial regulators carry out their public protection responsibilities while supporting consistency and mobility across the country. Denise Pothier, MBA, FCAE, FEC, LL.D. (honoris causa), P.Eng., ICD.D

Governance modernization was a major focus during the past year. Engineers Canada undertook a comprehensive review of its governance structure, including Board size and composition, voting arrangements, and the roles of its committees and direct reports. Following national consultation, the Members approved in principle a smaller Board based on a one regulator, one seat model, as well as the inclusion of independent directors. Further work was initiated to translate these directions into bylaw amendments and an implementation plan. This work is intended to create governance that is more efficient, accountable, and responsive to regulator priorities. Accreditation and academic standards also remained central to the Board’s work. The Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) continued its work on accreditation criteria and the future of engineering accreditation.

2025-26 Annual Report

The Board approved accreditation regulations addressing transfer credits for Collège d'enseignement général et professionnel (College of General and Vocational Education, CÉGEP) programs, while broader discussions continued about how the accreditation system can remain rigorous, sustainable, and adaptable to changing approaches in engineering education. This work is important because graduates of accredited programs are considered academically qualified to begin the licensure process in Canada. The CEQB continued to develop guidance and tools for regulators. During the year, its work included consultation on draft national guidance for managing frivolous and vexatious complaints. Broader discussions also continued regarding the role, governance, and future direction of the CEQB as part of Engineers Canada’s governance review. This work supports regulators by promoting greater consistency in regulatory practices and providing nationally developed guidance on emerging issues. National collaboration and harmonization continued to receive considerable attention. Regulators and Engineers Canada discussed practical initiatives related to mobility applications, shared regulatory tools, national data systems, continuing professional development, and competencybased assessment. These discussions underscore the value of Engineers Canada’s role as a national convenor that can coordinate collaboration, support information sharing, and help regulators identify opportunities to reduce duplication while maintaining regulatory independence.

2025-26 Annual Report

Engineers Canada also maintained Canada’s international relationships through the International Engineering Alliance and related agreements. Continued participation in these international systems supports the recognition of Canadian engineering education and professional qualifications abroad and helps ensure Canadian standards remain aligned with international best practices. As Nova Scotia’s Director, I value the opportunity to be included in Council meetings which allows me the opportunity to bring our regulatory perspective to these national discussions. I look forward to continuing to represent Nova Scotia’s interests as Engineers Canada advances its work on governance, accreditation, qualifications, and national collaboration. I hope to connect with many of you during the Annual Business Meeting and look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. With much gratitude, Denise Pothier, MBA, FCAE, FEC, LL.D.

2025-26 Annual Report

Complaints & Discipline The Complaints Committee met on a monthly basis over the past fiscal year to investigate 15 new and eight existing complaints. As part of the investigation of these complaints, the Complaints Committee sought assistance from Legal Counsel interpreting legislative requirements, engaged an external investigator to assist with preliminary investigation of complaint files, and conducted numerous interviews with complainants, registrants, and others. During the course of the year, the Complaints Committee dismissed six complaints and referred two complaints to the Discipline Committee for disciplinary hearings. This is the first time that complaints have been referred to the Discipline Committee in over 15 years. A complainant that is not satisfied with the disposition of a complaint by the Complaints Committee may apply to the Chair of the Discipline Committee for a review of the treatment of the complaint. If a review is requested, the Chair of the Discipline Committee appoints a member of the Discipline Committee to act as a Review Officer. A Review Officer does not reinvestigate the complaint and cannot review or consider new information. The purpose of the review is not to determine whether the Complaints Committee’s decision was correct or to reassess the facts of the complaint; rather, it is an examination of the treatment of the complaint by the Complaints Committee, to determine whether their treatment of the complaint, including the process leading to the decision, was fair. Disposition options available to the Review Officer include dismissing the appeal, referring all or part of the complaint back to the Complaints Committee for reconsideration, or referring the complaint to the Discipline Committee for a disciplinary hearing. Four complainants requested a review of the treatment of their complaints by the Complaints Committee 2025-26 Annual Report

during the fiscal year. These reviews generally determined that the complaints had been properly treated by the Complaints Committee; however, one issue that was the subject of a portion of a complaint was referred back to the Complaints Committee for re-evaluation on a limited basis. The Review Officers who completed these reviews spent an extensive number of hours assessing how complaints were treated, and they are thanked for their diligence and support of the Complaints process. Compliance with, and enforcement of, the Engineering Profession Act and By-Laws is an important area of focus. Staff continue to work with individuals, human resources professionals and companies to ensure that only professional engineers licensed in Nova Scotia are practicing engineering and using the title of engineer, the P.Eng. designation, and other protected terms. Engineers Nova Scotia, and the other provincial and territorial engineering regulators, have recently noted a significant increase in cases of unauthorized engineering practice and fraudulent use of the engineer’s stamp. Staff are considering how best to address these issues using a range of measures, including further policy development, collaboration with other engineering regulators, timely public communications, and consideration of whether public or private prosecution may be appropriate in specific circumstances. Verification of an individual or company’s registration with Engineers Nova Scotia can be conducted at engineersnovascotia.ca/member-directory. It is important to note that verification is only valid for the time in which it occurred, as an individual or company’s status could change at any time.

Complaints Summary Any person who has a concern about the work of a registrant (Professional Engineer or Engineer-in-Training) of Engineers Nova Scotia may raise this concern with Engineers Nova Scotia.

The Chair of FAC concluded by acknowledging the efforts of the association’s staff and thanked the CEO, the Treasurer (Kris Dove), and the Senior Accountant (Grace Castillo) for providing the information needed to help the Finance and Audit Committee fulfill their mandate. He concluded his remarks by sincerely thanking all members of the Finance & Audit Committee for their hard work and devotion to the transparency and betterment of the Association.

2025-26 Annual Report

There was a question regarding oversight of the investment portfolio and the rate of return on the equity investments. Kris Dove confirmed that we are not actively trading stocks, our equity portfolio consists of Schedule A bank stocks, in alignment with our Investment Policy. The rate of return for our portfolio has been over 43% since 2015, and regular dividends are being received and reinvested. It was also noted that we require liquid funds for the management of accounts payable, as well as payroll and other expenses. Excess revenue is invested in short-term cashable GIC’s.

Highlights of the 2025-2026 Budget Presentation The Chair of FAC provided an overview of the 20252026 budget. Key points are included below: Revenues • Member dues and corporate fees are increased by 2.3%, equivalent to the average Nova Scotia Consumer Price Index for the previous year. • Affinity growth is forecast to be 10% in 2025-2026 based on the increasing registrant base, inflationary impacts on the dollar amounts of policies underwritten, and the sharing formula for new policies. • 2025 ABM revenues and expenses are expected to remain near 2024 levels. Expenses • Significant changes include the continued expansion of our Professional Sustainment and Communication activities, increased committee spending, modification of zone governance activities, corporate memberships, reduction in spending for our marketing and branding materials, ABM, and golf tournaments. • Increase in salary expenses of approximately $204,000 for cost-of-living allowances, performance incentives based on merit, staffing increases with positions filled, including a Professional Practice

Assistant/Coordinator to support the COO and Professional Practice Officer and a Registration Coordinator to assist with CBA and international applications.

in place previously was significantly cheaper but was end of service as the company went out of business. This is the recurring cost that we’ll see for using an off-the-shelf product.

•

Q: When you look at the expenses for National Engineering Month, you see approximately $12,000 which leaves approximately $19,000 surplus. Where does that money go - does it go into general revenue? If it does, are the sponsors aware that they are sponsoring our general revenue as opposed to events during the month?

•

Changes to the staff complement, including: o An information technology coordinator to provide internal help desk and IT systems support, and o A human resources coordinator to assist with performance management, benefits recruitment and employee support. A potential draw-down of $355,000 from the reserves for: o Work on the phase 2 registrant administration application and database system, o Competency-based assessment implementation, o Legislative review, o The engagement of a consultant to move to the next stages of work to look at other accommodation options other than 1355 Barrington Street, and o Professional development fund to produce online regulatory learning modules based on our standards and guidelines.

Overall, the budget for 2025-2026 is conservative, showing a small operating surplus of approximately $1,000. This surplus includes non-operating revenues of just over $414,000, sourced mainly from Affinity revenue, interest earned on fixed income investments and dividend income earned on equity investments. The following questions were asked with respect to the 2025-2026 Budget: Q: With respect to the increase in costs for IT Support & Licensing from $48,000 to $130,000, is that a structural change moving forward or is that a one-time expenditure related to the conversion? A: This is the annual recurring cost for the iMIS database system that we have in place. Our bespoke system

2025-26 Annual Report

A: This is a clerical error. Looking at the forecast for National Engineering Month and the Spotlight Event, you see that we have transposed some figures. The $31,350 is combined sponsorship for National Engineering Month and the Spotlight Event. If you look at the expenditures, we spent approximately $49,000 on those two activities combined. Q: The middle column is labeled “Forecasted” but it ended in July. Is it “Actual” or are we still guessing what we did last year? A: The true “Actuals” are in the Audited Financial Statements. This document is what we used to help us prepare the next budget. There were questions about whether we were going to include the “Forecasted” column at all rather than show just the budget for the current year and the budget for the previous year. When we produced this budget for Council approval, our Actuals were not known as we go through the budget process in early July. For transparency, we included it here because it’s what we showed Council. The Chair acknowledged that the reports of the President, CEO and Chair of FAC have been presented to, and discussed with, the membership.

Independent Auditor’s Report

Doane Grant Thornton LLP Nova Centre, North Tower 1000-1675 Grafton Street Halifax, NS B3J 0E9 T +1 902 421 1734 F +1 902 420 1068

To the Members of Engineers Nova Scotia Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Engineers Nova Scotia (the “Association”), which comprise the statement of financial position as at July 31, 2026, and the statements of operations, changes in members’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Engineers Nova Scotia as at July 31, 2026, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Association in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations, 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. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Association’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to a going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Association or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Association’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: •

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

•

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Association’s internal control.

•

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

•

Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Association’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Association to cease to continue as a going concern.

•

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Nature of operations

Engineers Nova Scotia (the “Association”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia to administer the Nova Scotia Engineering Profession Act. The Association is a not-for-profit organization and is exempt from income tax under the Income Tax Act. 2.

Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of accounting These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations (“ASNPO”) and include the following significant accounting policies. Fund accounting The Association uses fund accounting and, accordingly, resources are classified for accounting purposes into funds based on specific activities or objectives. This method recognizes the limitations and restrictions placed on the use of resources available to the Association by classifying all transactions according to their nature. The following funds are being utilized: Operational fund The operational fund is the accumulation of unspent and unallocated revenue that is available to meet the day-to-day operational costs of the Association. At the end of the fiscal year, Council approved transfers of $300,000 to the Heritage building maintenance fund, $75,000 to the Legislative review (strategic initiative) fund, and $50,000 to the Member database and website modernization/automation (capital project) fund. Reserve for legal expenses fund The reserve for legal expenses fund has been established as an internally restricted fund for enforcement of the Engineering Profession Act. Investment in capital assets fund The investment in capital assets fund is the equity used to fund the capital assets of the Association. Heritage building maintenance fund The Heritage building maintenance fund has been established as an internally restricted fund for infrastructure improvements, crisis contingencies other than routine operations and maintenance, and initial specialist costs related to the relocation of the Association's office space. Legislative review (strategic initiative) fund The legislative review (strategic initiative) fund has been established as an internally restricted fund for modernization of the Act and Bylaws. During the year Council approved a transfer of $3,553 to the Operational fund to cover costs associated with modernization of the Act and Bylaws. Member database and website modernization/automation (capital project) fund The member database and website modernization/automation (capital project) fund has been established as an internally restricted fund for a new registrant database and member management system. During the year Council approved a transfer of $294,755 to the Operational fund to cover costs associated with database and website modernization. 7

Engineers Nova Scotia Notes to the Financial Statements July 31, 2026 2.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Fund accounting (continued) Competency based assessment fund The competency based assessment fund has been established as an internally restricted fund for modernization of the assessment framework. During the year Council approved a transfer of $16,050 to the Operational fund to cover costs associated with modernization of the assessment framework. Professional development fund The professional development fund has been established as an internally restricted fund for the enhancement of the professional development initiatives. Funded strategic initiatives Expenses incurred relating to funded strategic initiatives relate to special projects that have been approved by Council. These expenditures are outside the normal operating budget, and are funded through accumulated members’ equity. Revenue recognition The Association follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions. Restricted contributions are recognized as revenue in the year in which the related expenses are incurred. Unspent restricted contributions are deferred until the funds are spent on their designated purpose. Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue when received or receivable if the amount can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Association dues are billed on a calendar year basis and recognized in revenue over a 12-month period. Association dues relating to the period subsequent to year end are recorded as deferred revenues. Revenue on investments is recognized as it is earned and collection is reasonably assured. Gains or losses on the sale of investments are recognized as investment income in the year of disposal. Affinity income is recognized when earned and measurement and collection are reasonably assured. Other income, including miscellaneous revenue, professional engineers’ stamps, annual meeting and publication committee is recognized as it is earned. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, balances with banks and term deposits with maturity dates within one year. Capital assets Capital assets are recorded at cost. Rates and bases of depreciation applied to write-off the cost of property and equipment over their estimated useful lives are as follows: Building Computer equipment and software Equipment Website and database

5%, declining balance 30%, declining balance 20%, declining balance 30%, declining balance

When a capital asset no longer has any long-term service potential to the Association, the excess of its net carrying amount over any residual value is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations. Any write-downs recognized are not reversed. 8

Engineers Nova Scotia Notes to the Financial Statements July 31, 2026 2.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Cloud computing arrangements The Association follows the simplification approach to account for expenditures in a cloud computing arrangement (other than tangible elements). Under this approach, expenditures are treated as the supply of services and expensed as incurred. Investments Investments are carried at quoted market value. All investments are measured at fair market value with changes in fair value recognized in net income in the period in which they arise. Use of estimates Management reviews the carrying amounts of items in the financial statements at each statement of financial position date to assess the need for revision or any possibility of impairment. Many items in the preparation of these financial statements require management’s best estimate. Management determines these estimates based on assumptions that reflect the most probable set of economic conditions and planned courses of action. These estimates are reviewed periodically and adjustments are made to net income as appropriate in the year they become known. Items subject to significant management estimates include the useful lives of capital assets. Financial instruments The Association considers any contract creating a financial asset, liability or equity instrument as a financial instrument, except in limited circumstances. The Association accounts for the following as financial instruments: • • • •

Cash and cash equivalents Receivables Payables and accruals Investments

A financial asset or liability is recognized when the Association becomes party to contractual provisions of the instrument. The Association initially measures its financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. The Association subsequently measures its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost, except for investments, which are measured at fair value. All changes in fair value of the Association’s investments are recorded in the statement of operations. The Association removes financial liabilities, or a portion of, when the obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. Previously recognized impairment losses are reversed to the extent of the improvement provided the asset is not carried at an amount, at the date of the reversal, greater than the amount that would have been the carrying amount had no impairment loss been recognized previously. The amounts of any write-downs or reversals are recognized in net income. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Association is not exposed to significant credit, interest, currency, or liquidity risks arising from these financial instruments, except for investments. The Association is exposed to interest risk in relation to its investments. 9

Engineers Nova Scotia Notes to the Financial Statements July 31, 2026 2.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued) Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Investments are managed by professional investment managers in accordance with the Association’s Investment Policy developed and monitored by management, which mitigates exposure to these risks. 3.
