SECTION 3 - SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

3.1 Financial Highlights

Public Works and Government Services Canada is participating in the Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) Accrual Budgeting Pilot Project. The Government of Canada has committed to extending accrual accounting to departmental budgeting and appropriations. The change from cash accounting to accrual accounting in the budget process is expected to yield several benefits including improved efficiency, greater transparency, improved financial management, and better accountability.

To demonstrate departmental commitment to this initiative, PWGSC is presenting future-oriented financial statements for our 6 active revolving funds. As a first step, the department has developed condensed Statements of Operations for each revolving fund from a future-oriented perspective. Additional information such as the Statement of Management Responsibility, and detailed Statements of Operations, Statements of Financial Position, Statements of Cash Flow including the accompanying notes, Reconciliations of Unused Authority, and Statements of Authority Provided may be found on the departmental website at http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/rpp/st-ts-eng.asp. These future-oriented statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Treasury Board Guidelines and Receiver General Standards.

As operations evolve, forecast revisions may be communicated in the 2010-2011 RPP. Actual results will be available in the 2009-2010 Departmental Performance Report for comparison purposes.

On a longer-term basis, PWGSC will be exploring how to integrate ‘Accrual Budgeting’ practices into the department’s planning framework in order to present consolidated departmental future-oriented financial statements.
