Note: Information for the year ended March 31, 2012 includes actual amounts from April 1, 2011 to January 19, 2012

The preparation of the future-oriented statements was based on the PAA structure, as well as government and departmental priorities. Public Safety Canada made some assumptions during its development:

• the Department’s activities will remain consistent with the 2011-12 PAA; and
• expenses and revenues, including the projection of amounts (internal and external to the government) are based on historical experience; the general historical pattern is expected to continue.

Although every attempt was made to accurately forecast results for the remainder of 2011-12 and for 2012-13, the actual results will likely vary from the forecasted information presented in the statements. Forecast updates will be presented and the variances explained in the 2012-13 Departmental Performance Report. Throughout its development, assumptions were based on previous experience and other factors considered reasonable under the circumstances. Furthermore, accrual-based accounting was used to prepare the Future-Oriented Statement of Operations in accordance with Treasury Board accounting policies^[13]. Since Public Safety Canada is financed through an annual Parliamentary appropriations process (e.g. cash-based accounting), items presented in the Statement are not necessarily the same as in other sections of the Report on Plans and Priorities. However, it does allow for reconciliation between the two accounting bases of reporting.
