CONSOLIDATED AUDITED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AND MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
A. Consolidated Audited Annual Financial Statements
For consolidated audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, including the report of independent chartered professional accountants with respect thereto, see Exhibit 13.3 incorporated by reference herein.
B. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For management’s discussion and analysis, see Exhibit 13.2 incorporated by reference herein.
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), management has evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding our required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.
3

Based on the foregoing evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.
Internal control over financial reporting refers to a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
•pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
•provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and members of our board of directors; and
•provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) 2013 framework. Management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021. Certain matters relating to the scope of management’s evaluation and limitations of management’s conclusions are described below. See “Limitations and Scope of Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.”
Our Chartered Professional Accountants, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. For the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm see page F3 of the Consolidated Audited Annual Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed as Exhibit 13.3 and incorporated by reference herein, under the heading “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm - Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) (PCAOB 1263)".
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
LIMITATIONS AND SCOPE OF MANAGEMENT’S
REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or
4

improper overrides. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process, and it is possible to design safeguards into the process to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
In accordance with the provisions of NI 52-109 and consistent with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") guidance, the scope of the evaluation did not include internal controls over financial reporting of the acquisition of a 122 MW portfolio of operating solar sites located in North Carolina, which TransAlta Corporation (“TransAlta” or the “Company”) acquired on Nov. 5, 2021. North Carolina Solar was excluded from management's evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as at Dec. 31, 2021 due to the proximity of the acquisition to year-end. Further details related to the acquisition are disclosed in Note 4 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2021. Included in the 2021 consolidated financial statements of TransAlta for North Carolina Solar is 2 per cent and 5 per cent of the Company`s total and net assets, respectively, as at Dec. 31, 2021.
TransAlta proportionately consolidates the accounts of the Sheerness Generating Station joint operations and equity accounts for investment in SP Skookumchuck Investment, LLC, (the “Excluded Entities”), in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Management does not have the contractual ability to assess the internal controls of these Excluded Entities. Management’s conclusion regarding the effectiveness of internal controls does not extend to the internal controls at the transactional level of these Excluded Entities. Accordingly, management’s evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting did not include an evaluation of the internal controls of any of the Excluded Entities, and management’s conclusion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not extend to the internal controls at the transactional level of any of the Excluded Entities.
The 2021 consolidated financial statements of TransAlta, in accordance with EITF 00-1, included for joint operations and equity accounted invest ments are 4 per cent and 10 per cent of the Company's total and net assets, respectively, as of Dec. 31, 2021, and 8 percent of the Company's revenues for the year then ended. Once the financial information is obtained from these Excluded Entities it falls within the scope of TransAlta’s internal control framework.
AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
TransAlta’s board of directors has determined that each member of the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee (the “AFRC”) is an audit committee financial expert. Ms. Beverlee F. Park, Mr. Alan Fohrer, Mr. Thomas O'Flynn and Mr. Bryan D. Pinney have each been determined to be an audit committee financial expert, within the meaning of Section 407 of the United States Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”), and are independent, as that term is defined by the New York Stock Exchange’s (“NYSE”) listing standards applicable to TransAlta. For further information regarding the experience and qualification of Ms. Park, Mr. O'Flynn, Mr. Fohrer and Mr. Pinney, see the section titled “Audit, Finance and Risk Committee” in our Annual Information Form for the year ended Dec ember 31, 2021 filed as Exhibit 13.1 and incorporated by reference herein. Under the Commission rules, the designation of persons as audit committee financial experts does not make them “experts” for any other purpose, impose any duties, obligations or liability on them that are greater than those imposed on members of their committee and the board of directors who do not carry this designation or affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of their committee.
CODE OF ETHICS
TransAlta has adopted a code of ethics as part of its “Corporate Code of Conduct” that applies to all employees and officers which has been filed with the Commission. In addition, TransAlta has adopted a code of conduct applicable to all directors of the Company, a separate financial code of conduct which applies to all financial management employees and an Energy Trading code of conduct for our employees
5

working within energy marketing. Our codes of conduct are available on our Internet website at www.transalta.com. There has been no waiver of the codes granted during the 2021 fiscal year.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The AFRC has considered whether the provision of services other than audit services is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence. In May 2002, the AFRC adopted a policy that prohibits TransAlta from engaging the auditors for “prohibited” categories of non-audit services and requires pre-approval of the AFRC for other permissible categories of non-audit services, such categories being determined under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This policy also provides that the Chair of the AFRC may approve permissible non-audit services during the quarter and report such approval to the AFRC at its next regularly scheduled meeting.
Percentage of Services Approved by the AFRC
For the year ended December 31, 2021, none of the services described above were approved by the AFRC pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
