Statement of Management Responsibility for Financial Statements

Responsibility for the integrity and objectivity of the accompanying financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2008, and all information contained in these statements rests with the management of the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (the Secretariat). These financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with Treasury Board accounting policies, which are consistent with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for the public sector.

Management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the information in these financial statements. Some of the information in the financial statements is based on management's best estimates and judgment and gives due consideration to materiality. To fulfill its accounting and reporting responsibilities, management maintains a set of accounts that provides a centralized record of the Secretariat's financial transactions. Financial information submitted in the preparation of the Public Accounts of Canada and included in the Secretariat's Departmental Performance Report is consistent with these financial statements.

Management maintains a system of financial management and internal control designed to provide reasonable assurance that financial information is reliable, that assets are safeguarded, and that transactions are in accordance with the Financial Administration Act, are executed in accordance with prescribed regulations, within parliamentary authorities, and are properly recorded to maintain accountability of government funds. Management also seeks to ensure the objectivity and integrity of data in its financial statements through careful selection, training, and development of qualified staff, through organizational arrangements that provide appropriate divisions of responsibility, and through communications programs aimed at ensuring that regulations, policies, standards, and managerial authorities are understood throughout the Secretariat.

The system of internal control is augmented by Internal Audit, which conducts periodic audits and reviews of different areas of the Secretariat's operations. In addition, the Chief Audit Executive has free access to the Audit Committee, which oversees management's responsibilities for maintaining adequate control systems and the quality of financial reporting, and which recommends the financial statements to the Secretary of the Treasury Board.

The financial statements of the Secretariat have not been audited.

Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat
Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the year ended March 31

1. Authority and Objectives

Under the broad authority of sections 5 to 13 of the Financial Administration Act, the Secretariat supports the Treasury Board as a committee of ministers in its role as the general manager and employer of the core public administration. It is headed by a secretary, who reports to the president of the Treasury Board.

The mission of the Secretariat is to ensure that the rigorous stewardship of public resources achieves results for Canadians.

The core business of the Secretariat is currently organized into the following key areas of program activity:

a) Expenditure Management and Financial Oversight

This program activity provides advice on financial, expenditure, and project authorities, and resource allocation.

b) Management Policy Development and Oversight

This program activity establishes and monitors clear standards and expectations for federal public sector management.

c) Revitalization of Toronto Waterfront

The Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Initiative (TWRI) is both an infrastructure and urban renewal investment. The purpose of the TWRI is to revitalize the Toronto waterfront through investments in both traditional city-building infrastructure, such as local transportation and sewers, and more contemporary urban development, including parks, green spaces, tourism-related facilities, and the redevelopment of underutilized post-industrial areas.

This initiative was transferred to Environment Canada for the 2007-08 fiscal year.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Treasury Board accounting policies, which are consistent with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for the public sector.

Significant accounting policies are as follows:

a) Parliamentary appropriations

The Secretariat is financed by the Government of Canada through parliamentary appropriations. Appropriations provided to the Secretariat do not parallel financial reporting according to generally accepted accounting principles because appropriations are primarily based on cash flow requirements. Consequently, items recognized in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Financial Position are not necessarily the same as those provided through appropriations from Parliament. Note 3 to these financial statements provides a high-level reconciliation between the bases of reporting.

b) Net cash provided by the Government of Canada

The Secretariat operates within the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF), which is administered by the Receiver General for Canada. All cash received by the Secretariat is deposited to the CRF and all cash disbursements made by the Secretariat are paid from the CRF. The net cash provided by the Government of Canada is the difference between all cash receipts and all cash disbursements, including transactions between departments and agencies of the federal government.

c) Change in net position in the Consolidated Revenue Fund

The change in net position in the CRF is the difference between net cash provided by the government and appropriations used in a year, excluding the amount of non-respendable revenue recorded by the Secretariat. It results from timing differences between when a transaction affects appropriations and when it is processed through the CRF.

d) Revenues

Revenues are accounted for in the period in which the underlying transaction or event that gave rise to the revenues took place.

e) Expenses

Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis:

  • Contributions are recognized in the year in which the recipient has met the eligibility criteria or fulfilled the terms of a contractual transfer agreement.
  • Vacation pay and compensatory leave are expensed as the benefits accrue to employees under their respective terms of employment.
  • Services provided without charge by other government departments for accommodation and legal services are recorded as operating expenses at their estimated cost.

f) Government-wide employee benefits

Eligible public service employees participate in the Public Service Pension Plan sponsored by the Government of Canada. Contributions to the Plan for all departments and agencies, including additional contributions in respect of any actuarial deficiencies, are funded by the Secretariat as centrally managed funds, and they are expensed in the year incurred. The Secretariat recovers a portion of the pension contributions from other departments and agencies.

The Government of Canada also sponsors a variety of other benefit plans that the Secretariat is responsible for administering and/or funding through its centrally managed funds. These benefits are recognized to expenses when they become due. A portion of these benefits is also recovered from other departments and agencies.

For the pension benefits and other future employee benefits covered by these plans, actuarially determined liabilities and related disclosure are presented in the financial statements of the Government of Canada, the ultimate sponsor of these benefits. As administrator of the centrally managed funds, the Secretariat expenses these benefits or contributions as they become due and records no accruals for future benefits. This accounting treatment corresponds to the funding provided to the department through parliamentary appropriations.

g) Departmental employee future benefits

Pension benefits:Eligible employees of the Secretariat participate in the Public Service Pension Plan. The Secretariat's share of contributions pertaining to the current service cost of its employees is allocated to the expenses of the program activities of Expenditure Management and Financial Oversight and Management Policy Development and Oversight in the year incurred.

Severance benefits: Employees are entitled to severance benefits, as provided for under labour contracts or conditions of employment. These benefits are accrued as employees render the services necessary to earn them. The obligation relating to the benefits earned by employees of the Secretariat is calculated using information derived from the results of the actuarially determined liability for employee severance benefits for the Government of Canada as a whole.

h) Accounts receivable and advances

Accounts receivable and advances are stated at the amount expected to be ultimately realized. No allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded and no deletions have been made.

i) Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities are potential liabilities that may become actual liabilities when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. To the extent that the future event is likely to occur or fail to occur, and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made, an estimated liability is accrued and an expense recorded. If the likelihood is not determinable or an amount cannot be reasonably estimated, the contingency is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

j) Tangible capital assets

All tangible capital assets and leasehold improvements having an initial cost of $10,000 or more are recorded at their acquisition cost. The Secretariat does not capitalize intangibles, works of art, and historical treasures that have cultural, aesthetic, or historical value.

Amortization of tangible capital assets is done on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:


Asset class Amortization period
Machinery and equipment 3 to 5 years
Motor vehicles 3 years
Leasehold improvements Term of lease
Assets under construction Once in service, in accordance with asset class

k) Measurement uncertainty

The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with Treasury Board accounting policies, which are consistent with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for the public sector, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses reported in the financial statements. At the time of preparation of these statements, management believes the estimates and assumptions to be reasonable.

The most significant items where estimates are used are contingent liabilities, the liability for employee severance benefits, and the useful life of tangible capital assets. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimated. Management's estimates are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are recorded in the financial statements in the year they become known.

3. Parliamentary Appropriations

The Secretariat receives most of its funding through annual parliamentary appropriations. Items recognized in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Financial Position in one year may be funded through parliamentary appropriations in a prior, current, or future year. Accordingly, the Secretariat has different net results of operations for the year on a government funding basis than on an accrual basis. The differences are reconciled in the following tables:

b) Centrally managed funds

The Government of Canada sponsors defined benefit pension plans covering most of its employees. The Secretariat funds the employer's contributions to the Public Service Pension Plan and Retirement Compensation Arrangement, including additional contributions in respect of actuarial deficiencies.

The Secretariat also funds payments to or in respect of:

  • the employer's share of contributions to the Public Service Death Benefit Account;
  • the employer's share of Canada/Quebec Pension Plan contributions and Employment Insurance premiums;
  • the employer's share of health, disability, and life insurance premiums and related Quebec sales tax;
  • claims and related costs under the Public Service Dental Care Plan and the Pensioners' Dental Services Plan;
  • provincial payroll taxes;
  • pension, benefit, and insurance plans for employees engaged locally outside Canada by Canadian missions abroad; and
  • returns to certain employees of their share of the Employment Insurance premium reduction.

Generally, Public Service Pension Plan contributions, Public Service Death Benefit Account contributions, Canada/Quebec Pension Plan contributions, and Employment Insurance premiums are recovered from all departments, agencies, and revolving funds pro-rata, based on salaries and wages incurred. Contributions to health care plans are recovered from certain departments and agencies, and all revolving funds based on 7.0 per cent (7.5 per cent in 2007) of salaries and wages incurred.

Total accounts payable and accrued liabilities 441,505 598,190

9. Employee Benefits

a) Pension benefits

Eligible public service employees participate in the Public Service Pension Plan, which is sponsored and administered by the Government of Canada. Pension benefits accrue up to a maximum period of 35 years at a rate of 2 per cent per year of pensionable service times the average of the best five consecutive years of earnings. The benefits are integrated with the Canada/Quebec Pension Plan benefits and they are indexed to inflation.

The Secretariat funds the employer contributions to the Public Service Pension Plan, including additional contributions in respect of actuarial deficiencies, on behalf of all government departments and agencies, and recovers a portion of those costs.

During the year, the Secretariat contributed $12,854 thousand ($10,826 thousand in 2007) in respect of its own employees, which represents approximately 2.1 times (2.2 times in 2007) the contributions made by its employees.

b) Severance benefits


The Secretariat provides severance benefits to its employees based on eligibility, years of service, and final salary. These severance benefits are not pre-funded. Benefits will be paid from future appropriations. Information about the severance benefits, measured as at March 31, is as follows:
($ thousands)
2008 2007
Accrued benefit obligation, beginning of year 20,531 17,245
Expense for the year 4,943 5,117
Benefits paid during the year (1,771) (1,831)
Accrued benefit obligation, end of year 23,703 20,531

10. Contingent Liabilities

Claims and litigations

Claims have been made against the Secretariat in the normal course of operations. Legal proceedings for claims totalling approximately $64 billion ($64 billion in 2007) were still pending at March 31, 2008. Some of these potential liabilities may become actual liabilities when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. To the extent that the future event is likely to occur or fail to occur, and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made, an estimated liability is accrued and an expense recorded on the department's financial statements. No accrual for these contingent liabilities has been made in the financial statements.

The most significant of these legal actions is described as follows:

In September 1999, the Public Sector Pension Investment Board Act (Bill C-78) was passed by Parliament, providing for improvements in the financial management of federal public service pension plans, including the Public Service (PSSA), RCMP (RCMPSA), and Canadian Forces (CFSA) superannuation plans. The new Act authorized the president of the Treasury Board to debit the accounts in order to reduce the amount of certain excess balances in the superannuation accounts. In late 1999, the major public service unions and pensioner associations launched three lawsuits against the Crown challenging the validity of the legislation. On November 20, 2007, the plaintiffs' actions were dismissed. In February 2008, all three plaintiffs appealed the decisions. No appeal dates have been scheduled to date.

11. Contractual Obligations


The nature of the Secretariat's activities can result in some large multi-year contracts and obligations whereby the department will be obligated to make future payments when the services or goods are received. Significant contractual obligations that can be reasonably estimated are categorized as follows:

Total 54,896 40,288 41,362     136,546

12. Related-Party Transactions

Services provided without charge

The Secretariat is related as a result of common ownership to all Government of Canada departments, agencies, and Crown corporations. The Secretariat enters into transactions with these entities in the normal course of business and on normal trade terms.


During the year, the Secretariat received without charge services from other departments as shown in the following table:

2008 2007
Accommodation 11,455 9,212
Legal services 3,463 3,338
Total 14,918 12,550

The government has structured some of its administrative activities for efficiency and cost-effectiveness purposes so that one department performs these on behalf of all departments without charge. The costs of these services, which include payroll and cheque issuance services provided by Public Works and Government Services Canada, are not included as an expense in the Statement of Operations.
