During the year, the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying has adopted the new Treasury Board Accounting Standard 1.2 for the preparation of its financial statements. The main change related to the new standard is the recording of amounts due from the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF) ($170 thousands in 2010-2011 and $139 thousands in 2009-2010) as an asset on the Statement of Financial Position. The purpose of this account is to record the cash the OCL will be able to draw from the CRF in future years to meet some of its liabilities.

The change in Equity for 2010-2011, a decrease of 12%, is mostly attributable to the change in accounting standard.

The increase in expenditures is primarily related to salaries, and professional and special services expenditures.

The salaries expenditures increased by approximately $248 thousand from 2009-2010 to 2010-2011. This is mainly due to the revised salary rates related to collective agreements and new employees hired during the year.

The OCL obtains a number of its internal services through Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with other government departments and agencies. In 2010-2011, the OCL completed the re-alignment of its internal services, and proceeded to staff some vacant positions. These activities resulted in a significant increase in the human resources services required, which are provided through an MOU. Therefore, this contributed significantly to the increase in expenditures in the area of professional and special services.
