2011/2012 Report on Plans and Priorities - Future-oriented Financial Statements
Parliamentary Appropriations
Environment Canada receives most of its funding through annual Parliamentary authorities. Items recognized in the Statement of Operations in one year may be funded through Parliamentary authorities in prior, current or future years. Accordingly, Environment Canada has different net results of operations for the year on a government funding basis than on an accrual accounting basis. The differences are reconciled in the following tables:
