Statement of Operations
The Tribunal’s activities have remained relatively stable through the two year period ending March 31, 2010. The cost of operations has risen by $ 64,000 from the previous year. This increase is due primarily to changes in three expenditure categories:
- salaries and employee benefits have increased by $111 thousand,
- professional services have decreased by $30 thousand, and
- amortization expenses have decreased by $8 thousand.
The most significant change in the cost of operations is in salaries and employee benefits. The increase in costs is the result of two factors - the Tribunal reached quorum with the appointment of two part-time members in 2009-10 and the employees received increases as a result of collective agreements settled in 2009-10. These two factors and the related employee benefits accounted for almost all of the $111 thousand increase in salaries and employee benefits.
The Tribunal achieved savings by selecting another government provider for its information services and eliminating temporary help costs. ATIP training was provided in 2008-09 and did not have to be repeated in 2009-10.
The Commission’s asset platform is almost fully amortized and as a result, the annual amortization costs are diminishing.
Statement of Financial Position
The absence of significant change in the overall Statement of Financial Position is a further reflection of the stable operating environment of the Tribunal.
The most significant changes on the Statement of Financial Position are:
- a reduction in accounts receivable, primarily the employee benefits recoverable from Treasury Board,
- prepaid expenses as the Tribunal realized cost reductions by paying in advance,
- accounts payable decreased as the Tribunal settled more of its accounts prior to year-end, and
- severance benefits increased in part due to the increased salary base used in the determination of the benefits payable.

- Commencing in the 2009-10 Estimates cycle, the resources for Program Activity: Internal Service is displayed separately from other program activities; they are no longer distributed among the remaining program activities, as was the case in previous Main Estimates. This has affected the comparability of spending and FTE information by Program Activity between fiscal years.
