Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accrual accounting principles. The unaudited supplementary information presented in the financial tables in the DPR is prepared on a modified cash basis of accounting principles in order to be consistent with appropriations-based reporting. Note 3 of the financial statements reconciles these two accounting methods. For complete financial statements, please visit the Canadian Section website at: http://www.nafta-alena.gc.ca/en/view.aspx.
