Elections Canada plans $150.6 million in expenditures for 2012–2013, a decrease of $217.9 million from the 2011–2012 estimated results. This decrease is a result of the 41st general election, held on May 2, 2011. The expenditures forecast to be spent in 2012–2013 include the agency's operating expenditures, wrap-up activities from the 41st general election, activities related to the decennial redistribution of electoral boundaries and the office consolidation and relocation project and quarterly allowances to political parties. (Quarterly allowances will be phased out over three fiscal years starting in 2012–2013, as set out in Bill C-13, An Act to implement certain provisions of the 2011 budget as updated on June 6, 2011 and other measures.)
Elections Canada's planned revenues of $30,000 in 2012–2013 represent a decrease of $191,000 over the 2011–2012 estimated results. Revenues relate mainly to an electoral event, forfeiture of candidates' election deposits and surplus of election expenses, and refunds of excess contributions and fines.
The condensed financial statements and associated highlights have been prepared on an accrual accounting basis. They differ from the figures presented in previous sections, which are based on authorities voted by Parliament on a modified cash basis.
Future-oriented financial statements can be found on the Elections Canada website at: www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=res&dir=rep/est/rpp2012&document=fut&lang=e

Total planned assets for 2012–2013 are $33.3 million, a decrease of $6.4 million compared to the 2011–2012 estimated results. Included in this reduction is approximately $5.4 million (41 percent) in tangible capital assets, a result of amortization of computer software and leasehold improvements in 2012–2013.
Total planned liabilities for 2012–2013 are $25.6 million, of which accounts payable and accrued liabilities account for 69 percent. Included in this amount are accounts payable to external parties of $15.6 million and $2.0 million of accounts payable to other federal government departments and agencies. The net decrease of $1.1 million from 2011–2012 is a result of Bill C-13, which reduces quarterly allowances payable to parties at year-end.
