Assets are lower this year as there were no large outstanding amounts at year end from government clients. We have been purchasing less computer equipment resulting lower values as assets depreciate yearly.

Assets by Type

Liabilities are higher due to employee severance benefits increases as staff are older and have been at CCOHS longer resulting in higher liability.

Liabilities by Type

Salaries and benefits represent are largest expense and our employees are our biggest asset. We also incur costs for professional services for items such as translation, royalties on information products and staff development. Overall, expenses are comparable to prior year, excluding compensation increases.

Expenses - Where Funds Go

CCOHS earns revenues from the sale of various products and services relating to health and safety. This includes e-learning, collaborative projects, legislation, chemical databases and management services. Overall, revenue is down from the prior year due to a discontinuation of a major project, CHN and fewer government projects.
