PRI Information

"PRI" stands for "Personal Record Identifier". It represents a unique identification code with a unique number assigned to each employee of the Federal Public Service.

You can find your PRI on your pay statement, as shown below. Your department or agency's Human Resources group can also provide you with details about your PRI.

FIS Information

Effective since April 1, 2001 all federal departments and organizations that transact with one another using the interdepartmental settlement system are now operating in the FIS (financial information strategy) compliant environment in accordance with the new procedures adapted to the Treasury Board's Interdepartmental Settlement Policy. As such, all transactions are processed electronically via the PWGSC central systems and the debtor and recipient department departmental financial management systems.

This process requires the use of I.S. (interdepartmental settlement) codes provided by the payer department to the debtor department, which will execute the I.S. The I.S. codes enable the PWGSC central systems to identify and direct the I.S. to the recipient department.

The process requires the following three codes:

1. The department number, which refers to a three-digit code used in the government-wide Chart of Accounts. This code is used to determine the recipient department involved in the I.S. request.
   
   
2. The organization code, which identifies the department accounting office or the responsibility center within the organization.
   
   
3. The reference code, which may be an invoice number, commitment or contact number, financial coding block, etc.

The I.S. codes will allow the CSPS to send an interdepartmental settlement to your department, which will receive the electronic invoice to be paid via its departmental financial management system. This process enables the rapid management of I.S. transactions between the departments concerned and updates the financial information in the central accounts and both departments.

For any questions concerning the process or obtaining I.S. Codes for a transaction, consult the following Web site for the name of the person in charge.
