Future-oriented financial statements provide forecast information on assets and liabilities, revenues, and expenses, prepared on an accrual accounting basis to strengthen accountability and improve transparency and financial management. The financial highlights presented in this section are intended to serve as a general overview of AAFC's operations reported in the Department's future-oriented financial statements, which can be found on AAFC's website.
Since future oriented financial statements are prepared on an accrual accounting basis, there are differences between the figures below and the planned spending amounts presented in other sections of the RPP, which reflect the cash accounting basis used to recognize transactions affecting parliamentary appropriations. The differences are related to such items as provisions for loan guarantees, repayable contributions, non-respendable revenues, services without charge received from other government departments, amortization, and severance and vacation pay liability adjustments. For more information, refer to Note 5 in the full 2012-13 Future-oriented Statement of Operations found on the Department's website.
