16. Comment(s) on Variance(s): The variance between planned spending and actual
spending within Grants is explained by a $1M re-profile from 2007–2008 and funding of $300K received from Canadian
Heritage through the Interdepartmental Partnership with the Official Language Communities. The variance between
planned spending and total authorities within contributions is explained by a $1.9M re-profile from 2007–08. The variance of $1.2M between planned and actual spendings in WPF was due to a number of factors: 2009–2010 commitments against the WPF are significant and SWC was unable to recommend a number of projects due to pressures against the 2009–2010 budget, several organizations were unable to spend their approved funding, and the development of some of the proposals took longer than expected, which led to delays in submission and approval. 17. Audit completed or planned: N/A |
