During the fiscal year, amendments were made based on Canadian public sec<strong>to</strong>r accounting standards <strong>to</strong> improve financial<br />

reporting. The significant changes <strong>to</strong> the <strong>CRA</strong>’s financial statements are described below. These changes have been applied<br />

retroactively, and comparative information for 2010-11 has been restated.<br />

(a) Agency net debt<br />

Agency net debt (calculated as liabilities less financial assets) is now presented in the Statement of Financial Position.<br />

Accompanying this change, the <strong>CRA</strong> now presents a Statement of Change in Agency Net Debt. The equity of Canada<br />

presented in the Statement of Financial Position in previous years is now referred <strong>to</strong> as agency net financial position.<br />

(b) Government funding and transfers<br />

Government funding and transfers are now recognized in the Statement of Operations and Agency Net Financial<br />

Position (formerly the Statement of Operations) below the net cost of operations before government funding and<br />

transfers (formerly the net cost of operations), which resulted in the intro<strong>du</strong>ction of the net cost of operations after<br />

government funding and transfers. In previous years, the <strong>CRA</strong> recognized these transactions in the Statement of Equity<br />

of Canada, which is no longer presented.<br />

(c) Non-tax revenue not available for spending<br />

Non-tax revenue is now presented net of non-tax revenue not available for spending in the Statement of Operations and<br />

Agency Net Financial Position (refer <strong>to</strong> note 2e). The effect of this change was <strong>to</strong> decrease the <strong>to</strong>tal non-tax revenue<br />

which increased the net cost of operations before government funding and transfers as well as the net cash provided by<br />

the Government of Canada by $62,711,706 for <strong>2012</strong>.<br />
