The Consulting and Audit Canada Revolving Fund ("the Fund") is a Special Operating Agency that provides, on an optional and fee-for-service basis, consulting and audit services to federal departments and agencies. Upon request, these services are also provided to provincial, territorial, municipal and aboriginal governments in Canada, to foreign governments and to international organizations.
The Fund has a continuing non-lapsing authority from Parliament to make payments out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the purposes of working capital, capital acquisitions and the temporary financing of accumulated operating deficits, the total of which is not to exceed $20,000,000 at any time.
These future-oriented statements have been prepared:
While every attempt has been made to accurately forecast final result for 2009/10, actual results achieved are likely to vary from the forecast information presented, and this variation could be material.
Once the Report on Plans and Priorities is presented, the Fund will not be updating the forecasts for any changes to forecast financial information.
The future-oriented financial information has been prepared in accordance with Treasury Board accounting policies and the standards of the Received General for Canada. The basis of accounting used in these financial statements differs from Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for the public sector because the employee termination benefits liability is based on management's estimate of this liability rather than based on actuarial valuations.
Significant accounting policies are as follows:
a) Forecasted revenue
Revenues on consulting and audit services performed by the Fund are earned primarily on a daily rate basis and are recognized as the services are provided.
For fixed price projects, revenues are recognized using the percentage of completion method based on the proportion of services provided at year end. Any losses on fixed price projects are recognized during the period they are identified.
b) Capital assets
Capital assets are recorded at their acquisition cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each asset as follows;
Category | Estimated useful life | |
---|---|---|
Informatics hardware | 3 to 5 years | |
Informatics software | 3 to 5 years | |
Leasehold improvements | Lesser of the remaining term of the occupancy instrument or useful life of the improvement |
c) Pension plan
Employees of the Fund are covered by the Public Service Superannuation Act and the Supplementary Retirement Benefits Act. The Government of Canada's portion of the pension cost is included in the employee benefits charge assessed against the Fund. The actual payment of the pension is made from the Public Service Superannuation and Supplementary Retirement Benefits
Accounts.
d) Employee termination benefits, vacation pay and time-off in lieu
Termination benefits accrue to employees over their years of service with the Government of Canada as provided for under collective agreements, and the estimated costs of these benefits are recorded in the accounts as they are earned by the employees.
The liability for vacation pay and compensatory leave is calculated at the salary levels in effect at the end of the forecasted year for all unused vacation pay and time-off-in-lieu benefits accruing to employees.
e) Accounts receivables and advances
Accounts receivables and advances are stated at amounts expected to be ultimately realized; a provision is made for receivables where recovery is considered uncertain.
f) Measurement uncertainty
The preparation of the future-oriented financial information requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of all the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the future-oriented financial statements. Assumptions are based upon information available and known to management at the time of development, reflect current business and economic
conditions, and assume a continuation of current governmental priorities and consistency in departmental mandate and strategic objectives.
At the time of preparation of these future-oriented statements, management believes the estimates and assumptions to be reasonable. Nonetheless, as with all such estimates and assumptions, there is a measure of uncertainty surrounding them. This uncertainty increases as the forecast horizon extends.

The Fund leases its premises under occupancy instruments. An occupancy instrument is a formal agreement between the Fund and Public Works and Government Services Canada recording the specific details of an individual occupancy and the terms and conditions that govern the provision and occupancy of the accommodation. Expected future payments for the existing occupancy instruments are as follows:

Year ending March 31, 2010 | 1,868 |

The Fund's financial instruments consist of cash in transit, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying values of these future-oriented financial instruments approximate their fair value because of their short terms to maturity. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Fund is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risk arising from these financial instruments.
The Fund is related as a result of common ownership to all federal departments, agencies, and Crown corporations. The fund enters into transactions with these entities in the normal course of business and on normal trade terms. The results of these transactions are included in the future-oriented financial information.
Responsibility for the compilation, content, and presentation of the accompanying future-oriented financial information for the year ended March 31, 2010 rests with the Revolving Fund management. The future-oriented financial information has been prepared by management in accordance with Treasury Board accounting policies and the standards of the Receiver General for Canada. The future-oriented financial information is submitted for Part III of Estimates (Report on Plans and Priorities), and can be compared with actual results presented in Public Works and Government Services' Departmental Performance Report.
Management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the information contained in future-oriented financial information and for the process of developing assumptions. Assumptions and estimates are based upon information available and known to management at the time of development, reflect current business and economic conditions, and assume a continuation of current governmental priorities and consistency in departmental mandate and strategic objectives. Much of the future-oriented financial information is based on these assumptions, best estimates, and judgment and gives due consideration to materiality. At the time of preparation of these statements, management believes the estimates and assumptions to be reasonable. However, as with all such assumptions, there is a measure of uncertainty surrounding them. This uncertainty increases as the forecast horizon extends.
The actual results achieved for the fiscal years covered in the accompanying future-oriented financial information will vary from the information presented and the variations may be material. In addition, the reader should be informed that the organization is preparing these statements as part of a two year pilot project and readers should be cautioned that this is the first year of the pilot.

The Optional Services Revolving Fund ("the Fund") provides specialized services to client departments, such as communication procurement services, travel management services, central removal services and central freight services. The Fund also procures vaccines and drugs on behalf of provinces and territories.
The Fund has a continuing non-lapsing authority from Parliament to make payments out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the purposes of working capital, capital acquisitions and the temporary financing of accumulated operating deficits, the total of which is not to exceed $35,000,000 at any time.
These future-oriented statements have been prepared:
While every attempt has been made to accurately forecast final result for 2009/10, actual results achieved are likely to vary from the forecast information presented, and this variation could be material.
Once the Report on Plans and Priorities is presented, the Fund will not be updating the forecasts for any changes to forecast financial information.
The future-oriented financial information has been prepared in accordance with Treasury Board accounting policies and the standards of the Receiver General for Canada. The basis of accounting used in these future-oriented financial statements differs from Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for the Public Sector because the employee termination benefits liability is based on management's estimate of this liability rather than based on actuarial valuations.
Significant accounting policies are as follows:
a) Forecasted revenue
Recoveries from the vaccine program are recognized using a blended rate established by fixed price contracts and based on the proportion of total goods delivered at year end. Any losses on the fixed price contracts are recognized during the period in which they are identified.
Revenues earned on communication, printing and audio-visual services are recognized using the completed contract method.
Traffic management recoveries consist of travel commissions, central freight and central removal services. Travel commissions and central removal services recoveries are recognized based on service utilization whereas central freight recoveries are recognized as service provider costs are provided to the Fund.
b) Capital assets
Capital assets are recorded at their acquisition cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each asset. All capital assets were fully amortized at the time to prepare these future-oriented financial statements.
c)Pension plan
Employees of the Fund are covered by the Public Service Superannuation Act and the Supplementary Retirement Benefits Act. The Government of Canada's portion of the pension cost is included in the employee benefits charge assessed against the Fund. The actual payment of the pension is made from the Public Service Superannuation and Supplementary Retirement Benefits
Accounts.
Current legislation does not require the fund to make any contribution for any actuarial deficiency of the Plan.
d) Employee termination benefits, vacation pay and time-off in lieu
Termination benefits accrue to employees over their years of service with the Government of Canada as provided for under collective agreements, and the estimated costs of these benefits are recorded in the accounts as they are earned by the employees.
The liability for vacation pay and compensatory leave is calculated at the salary levels in effect at the end of the forecasted year for all unused vacation pay and time-off-in-lieu benefits accruing to employees.
e) Accounts receivables and advances
Accounts receivables and advances are stated at amounts expected to be ultimately realized; a provision is made for receivables where recovery is considered uncertain.
f) Measurement uncertainty
The preparation of the future-oriented financial information requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of all the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the future-oriented financial statements. Assumptions are based upon information available and known to management at the time of development, reflect current business and economic
conditions, and assume a continuation of current governmental priorities and consistency in departmental mandate and strategic objectives. At the time of preparation of these future-oriented statements, management believes the estimates and assumptions to be reasonable. Nonetheless, as with all such estimates and assumptions, there is a measure of uncertainty surrounding them. This
uncertainty increases as the forecast horizon extends.
The accumulated surplus is the accumulation of each fiscal year's surpluses, net of deficits, since the inception of the Fund. The accumulated net charge against the Fund's authority is the non-lapsing authority amount that has been used since the inception of the Fund.

The Fund's financial instruments consist of cash in transit, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying values of these future-oriented financial instruments approximate their fair value because of their short terms to maturity. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Fund is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risk arising from these financial instruments.
The Fund is related as a result of common ownership to all federal departments, agencies, and Crown corporations. The fund enters into transactions with these entities in the normal course of business and on normal trade terms. The results of these transactions are included in the future-oriented financial information.
Responsibility for the compilation, content, and presentation of the accompanying future-oriented financial information for the year ended March 31, 2010 rests with the Revolving Fund management. The future-oriented financial information has been prepared by management in accordance with Treasury Board accounting policies and the standards of the Receiver General for Canada which are consistent with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for the public sector. The future-oriented financial information is submitted for Part III of Estimates (Report on Plans and Priorities), and can be compared with actual results presented in Public Works and Government Services' Departmental Performance Report.
Management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the information contained in future-oriented financial information and for the process of developing assumptions. Assumptions and estimates are based upon information available and known to management at the time of development, reflect current business and economic conditions, and assume a continuation of current governmental priorities and consistency in departmental mandate and strategic objectives. Much of the future-oriented financial information is based on these assumptions, best estimates, and judgment and gives due consideration to materiality. At the time of preparation of these statements, management believes the estimates and assumptions to be reasonable. However, as with all such assumptions, there is a measure of uncertainty surrounding them. This uncertainty increases as the forecast horizon extends.
The actual results achieved for the fiscal years covered in the accompanying future-oriented financial information will vary from the information presented and the variations may be material. In addition, the reader should be informed that the organization is preparing these statements as part of a two year pilot project and readers should be cautioned that this is the first year of the pilot.

The Real Property Disposition Revolving Fund ("the Fund") provides, on a cost recovery basis, routine disposals of real property assets no longer required in order to generate revenue for the Crown.
The Fund has a continuing non-lapsing authority from Parliament to make payments out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the purposes of working capital, the total of which is not to exceed $5,000,000 at any time.
All proceeds of sale are deposited to the Consolidated Revenue Fund net of disposal costs and expenses. In accordance with the terms and conditions approved by the Treasury Board, any year end accumulated surplus in the Fund in excess of $5,000,000 is deposited to the Consolidated Revenue Fund. The amount forecasted to be transferred to the Consolidated Revenue Fund for 2009Â-2010 is $5,200,000.
These future-oriented statements have been prepared:
While every attempt has been made to accurately forecast final result for 2009-2010, actual results achieved are likely to vary from the forecast information presented, and this variation could be material.
Once the Report on Plans and Priorities is presented, the Fund will not be updating the forecasts for any changes to forecast financial information.
The future-oriented financial information has been prepared in accordance with Treasury Board accounting policies and the standards of the Receiver General for Canada, which are consistent with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for the public sector.
Significant accounting policies are as follows:
a) Forecasted revenue
Revenues are recognized in the period in which both the title is transferred to the purchaser and the full payment is received by the Fund.
b) Work in Progress
Work in process includes labour and disbursements incurred for services performed or goods delivered for sales or transfers of properties not finalized at the fiscal year end.
c) Deposits on disposal
Deposits on disposals represent receipts on future disposals of properties that are not closed at the fiscal year end.
d) Measurement uncertainty
The preparation of the future-oriented financial information requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of all the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the future-oriented financial statements.

The Real Property Services Revolving Fund ("the Fund") provides, on a fee-for-service basis, optional real property services to other custodian departments and to other departments and agencies requesting services over and above those provided under the Federal Accommodation and Holdings Service Line program. More specifically, the Fund looks after architectural and engineering activities, property management, holdings and divestiture, and support services.
The Fund has a continuing non-lapsing authority from Parliament to make payments out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the purposes of working capital, capital acquisitions and the temporary financing of accumulated operating deficits, the total of which is not to exceed $150,000,000 at any time.
These future-oriented statements have been prepared:
While every attempt has been made to accurately forecast final result for 2009/10, actual results achieved are likely to vary from the forecast information presented, and this variation could be material.
Once the Report on Plans and Priorities is presented, the Fund will not be updating the forecasts for any changes to forecast financial information.
The future-oriented financial information has been prepared in accordance with Treasury Board accounting policies and the standards of the Receiver General for Canada. The basis of accounting used in these future-oriented financial statements differs from Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for the public sector because the employee termination benefits liability is based on management's estimate of this liability rather than based on actuarial valuations.
Significant accounting policies are as follows:
a) Forecasted revenue
Revenues earned on professional and technical services performed and revenues to recover disbursements made on behalf of other government departments and outside parties are recognized as costs are incurred by the Fund.
b) Forecasted expenses
Overhead chargeback, corporate and administrative services and occupancy costs are based on the budgeted direct service delivery personnel costs as determined in the Budget Framework for the Fund and the Federal Accommodation and Holdings Program Activities of Public Works and Government Services Canada.
c) Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost and are recorded on a first-in, first-out basis.
d) Pension Plan
Employees of the Fund are covered by the Public Service Superannuation Act and the Supplementary Retirement Benefits Act. The Government of Canada's portion of the pension cost is included in the employee benefits charge assessed against the Fund. The actual payment of the pension is made from the Public Service Superannuation and Supplementary Retirement Benefits
Accounts.
Current legislation does not require the fund to make any contribution for any actuarial deficiency of the Plan.
e) Employee termination benefits, vacation pay and time-off in lieu
Termination benefits accrue to employees over their years of service with the Government of Canada as provided for under collective agreements, and the estimated costs of these benefits are recorded in the accounts as they are earned by the employees.
The liability for vacation pay and compensatory leave is calculated at the salary levels in effect at the end of the forecasted year for all unused vacation pay and time-off-in-lieu benefits accruing to employees.
f) Accounts receivables and advances
Accounts receivables and advances are stated at amounts expected to be ultimately realized; a provision is made for receivables where recovery is considered uncertain.
g) Measurement uncertainty
The preparation of the future-oriented financial information requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of all the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the future-oriented financial statements. Assumptions are based upon information available and known to management at the time of development, reflect current business and economic
conditions, and assume a continuation of current governmental priorities and consistency in departmental mandate and strategic objectives. At the time of preparation of these future-oriented statements, management believes the estimates and assumptions to be reasonable.

The Telecommunications and Informatics Common Services Revolving Fund ("the Fund") provides network and infrastructure services, voice telecommunications services, satellite services, managed services and information technology security services.
The Fund has a continuing non-lapsing authority from Parliament to make payments out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the purposes of working capital, capital acquisitions and the temporary financing of accumulated operating deficits, the total of which is not to exceed $20,000,000 at any time.
The Fund will use its accumulated surplus during fiscal year 2009-2010 for investments in infrastructure and the development of new products.
These future-oriented statements have been prepared:
While every attempt has been made to accurately forecast final result for 2009/10, actual results achieved are likely to vary from the forecast information presented, and this variation could be material.
Once the Report on Plans and Priorities is presented, the Fund will not be updating the forecasts for any changes to forecast financial information.
The future-oriented financial information has been prepared in accordance with Treasury Board accounting policies and the standards of the Receiver General for Canada. The basis of accounting used in these future-oriented financial statements differs from Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for the public sector because the employee termination benefits liability is based on management's estimate of this liability rather than based on actuarial valuations.
Significant accounting policies are as follows:
a) Revenue recognition
Revenues earned on telecommunications and informatics services are recognized as costs are incurred by the Fund. Revenues earned on goods purchased from telecom suppliers on behalf of customers are recognized when the goods are delivered to other government departments or outside parties.
b) Capital assets
Capital assets are recorded at their acquisition cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each asset as follows:
Category | Estimated useful life |
---|---|
Informatics hardware | 3 to 5 years |
Informatics software | 3 to 5 years |
Assets under construction | Once in service, in accordance with asset class |
c) Pension plan
Employees of the Fund are covered by the Public Service Superannuation Act and the Supplementary Retirement Benefits Act. The Government of Canada's portion of the pension cost is included in the employee benefits charge assessed against the Fund. The actual payment of the pension is made from the Public Service Superannuation and Supplementary Retirement Benefits
Accounts.
Current legislation does not require the fund to make any contribution for any actuarial deficiency of the Plan.
d) Employee termination benefits, vacation pay and time-off in lieu
Termination benefits accrue to employees over their years of service with the Government of Canada as provided for under collective agreements, and the estimated costs of these benefits are recorded in the accounts as they are earned by the employees.
The liability for vacation pay and compensatory leave is calculated at the salary levels in effect at the end of the year for all unused vacation pay and time-off-in-lieu benefits accruing to employees.
e) Accounts receivables and advances
Accounts receivables and advances are stated at amounts expected to be ultimately realized; a provision is made for receivables where recovery is considered uncertain.
f) Measurement uncertainty
The preparation of the future-oriented financial information requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of all the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the future-oriented financial statements. Assumptions are based upon information available and known to management at the time of development, reflect current business and economic
conditions, and assume a continuation of current governmental priorities and consistency in departmental mandate and strategic objectives. At the time of preparation of these future-oriented statements, management believes the estimates and assumptions to be reasonable. Nonetheless, as with all such estimates and assumptions, there is a measure of uncertainty surrounding them. This
uncertainty increases as the forecast horizon extends.

The Fund's financial instruments consist of cash in transit, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying values of these future-oriented financial instruments approximate their fair value because of their short terms to maturity. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Fund is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risk arising from these financial instruments.
The Fund is related as a result of common ownership to all federal departments, agencies, and Crown corporations. The fund enters into transactions with these entities in the normal course of business and on normal trade terms. The results of these transactions are included in the future-oriented financial information.
Responsibility for the compilation, content, and presentation of the accompanying future-oriented financial information for the year ended March 31, 2010 rests with the Revolving Fund management. The future-oriented financial information has been prepared by management in accordance with Treasury Board accounting policies and the standards of the Receiver General for Canada. The future-oriented financial information is submitted for Part III of Estimates (Report on Plans and Priorities), and can be compared with actual results presented in Public Works and Government Services' Departmental Performance Report.
Management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the information contained in future-oriented financial information and for the process of developing assumptions. Assumptions and estimates are based upon information available and known to management at the time of development, reflect current business and economic conditions, and assume a continuation of current governmental priorities and consistency in departmental mandate and strategic objectives. Much of the future-oriented financial information is based on these assumptions, best estimates, and judgment and gives due consideration to materiality. At the time of preparation of these statements, management believes the estimates and assumptions to be reasonable. However, as with all such assumptions, there is a measure of uncertainty surrounding them. This uncertainty increases as the forecast horizon extends.
The actual results achieved for the fiscal years covered in the accompanying future-oriented financial information will vary from the information presented and the variations may be material. In addition, the reader should be informed that the organization is preparing these statements as part of a two year pilot project and readers should be cautioned that this is the first year of the pilot.

The Translation Bureau Revolving Fund ("the Fund") is a Special Operating Agency that provides, on a cost recovery basis, translation, technolinguistic and other linguistic services to the judiciary and federal departments and agencies and, upon request, to other governments in Canada and international organizations.
The Fund has a continuing non-lapsing authority from Parliament to make payments out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the purposes of working capital, capital acquisitions and the temporary financing of accumulated operating deficits, the total of which is not to exceed $10,000,000 at any time.
These future-oriented statements have been prepared:
While every attempt has been made to accurately forecast final result for 2009/10, actual results achieved are likely to vary from the forecast information presented, and this variation could be material.
Once the Report on Plans and Priorities is presented, the Fund will not be updating the forecasts for any changes to forecast financial information.
The future-oriented financial information has been prepared in accordance with Treasury Board accounting policies and the standards of the Receiver General for Canada. The basis of accounting used in these future-oriented financial statements differs from Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for the public sector because the employee termination benefits liability is based on management's estimate of this liability rather than based on actuarial valuations.
Significant accounting policies are as follows:
a) Forecasted revenue
Revenues from translation services performed by the Fund for other government departments and external clients are recognized using the percentage of completion method based on the proportion of services provided at year end.
Revenues from the Parliamentary Vote for translation services and revenues for interpretation services are recognized as costs are incurred by the Fund.
b) Capital assets
Capital assets are recorded at their acquisition cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each asset as follows:
Category | Estimated useful life |
---|---|
Machinery and equipment | 3 to 20 years |
Informatics hardware | 3 to 5 years |
Informatics software | 3 to 5 years |
Assets under construction | Once in service, in accordance with asset class |
Leasehold improvements | Lesser of the remaining term of the occupancy instrument or useful life of the improvement |
c) Pension plan
Employees of the Fund are covered by the Public Service Superannuation Act and the Supplementary Retirement Benefits Act. The Government of Canada's portion of the pension cost is included in the employee benefits charge assessed against the Fund. The actual payment of the pension is made from the Public Service Superannuation and Supplementary Retirement Benefits
Accounts.
Current legislation does not require the fund to make any contribution for any actuarial deficiency of the Plan.
d) Employee termination benefits, vacation pay and time-off in lieu
Termination benefits accrue to employees over their years of service with the Government of Canada as provided for under collective agreements, and the estimated costs of these benefits are recorded in the accounts as they are earned by the employees.
An accrual was made for severance entitlements on service prior to April 1, 1995. The asset account "Deferred Employee Termination Benefits" represents benefits earned prior to April 1, 1995. The account is drawn down as benefits are paid to the related employees and become recoverable from the Treasury Board. The Treasury Board will continue to reimburse for termination benefits paid by the Bureau, for service prior to April 1, 1995, until March 31, 2010. After March 31, 2010, the Treasury Board has no further obligation to reimburse for benefits paid.
The liability for vacation pay and compensatory leave is calculated at the salary levels in effect at the end of the year for all unused vacation pay and time-off in lieu benefits accruing to employees.
e) Accounts receivables and advances
Accounts receivable and advances are stated at amounts expected to be ultimately realized; a provision is made for receivables where recovery is considered uncertain.
f) Measurement uncertainty
The preparation of the future-oriented financial information requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of all the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the future-oriented financial statements. Assumptions are based upon information available and known to management at the time of development, reflect current business and economic
conditions, and assume a continuation of current governmental priorities and consistency in departmental mandate and strategic objectives. At the time of preparation of these future-oriented statements, management believes the estimates and assumptions to be reasonable. Nonetheless, as with all such estimates and assumptions, there is a measure of uncertainty surrounding them. This
uncertainty increases as the forecast horizon extends.
