Financial Statements (unaudited) for the year ended March 31, 2017

Statement of Management Responsibility Including Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Responsibility for the integrity and objectivity of the accompanying financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017, and all information contained in these statements rests with the management of Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD). These financial statements have been prepared by management using the Government's accounting policies, which are based on Canadian public sector accounting standards.

Management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the information in these financial statements. Some of the information in the financial statements is based on management's best estimates and judgment, and gives due consideration to materiality. To fulfill its accounting and reporting responsibilities, management maintains a set of accounts that provides a centralized record of WD's financial transactions. Financial information submitted in the preparation of the Public Accounts of Canada, and included in WD's Departmental Results Report, is consistent with these financial statements.

Management is also responsible for maintaining an effective system of internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) designed to provide reasonable assurance that financial information is reliable, that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are properly authorized and recorded in accordance with the Financial Administration Act and other applicable legislation, regulations, authorities and policies.

Management seeks to ensure the objectivity and integrity of data in its financial statements through careful selection, training and development of qualified staff; through organizational arrangements that provide appropriate divisions of responsibility; through communication programs aimed at ensuring that regulations, policies, standards, and managerial authorities are understood throughout WD and through conducting an annual risk-based assessment of the effectiveness of the system of ICFR.

The system of ICFR is designed to mitigate risks to a reasonable level based on an on-going process to identify key risks, to assess effectiveness of associated key controls, and to make any necessary adjustments.

WD is subject to periodic Core Control Audits performed by the Office of the Comptroller General and uses the results of such audits to comply with the Treasury Board Policy on Internal Control.

A Core Control Audit was performed in 2013-2014 by the Office of the Comptroller General of Canada (OCG). The Audit Report and related Management Action Plan are posted on the departmental web site.

The financial statements of Western Economic Diversification Canada have not been audited.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the Year Ended March 31

1. Authority and Objectives

Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD) was established to promote the development and diversification of the economy of Western Canada and to advance the interests of the West in national economic policy, program and project development and implementation. The Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development is responsible for this organization.

The Department operates under the provision of the Western Economic Diversification Act, which came into force on June 28, 1988. WD is responsible for regional development in Western Canada by developing and supporting economic policies, programs and activities to promote economic growth.

Its western base has enabled the Department to foster extensive partnerships with business and community organizations, research and academic institutions, Indigenous Peoples, as well as provincial and municipal governments across Western Canada.

WD works to grow the western Canadian economy by helping to build businesses that are productive, innovative and competitive globally, while diversifying the base of the western Canadian economy beyond primary resource industries.

WD's strategic outcome is advanced through the following programs:

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

These financial statements have been prepared using the Government's accounting policies stated below, which are based on Canadian public sector accounting standards.  The presentation and results using the stated accounting policies do not result in any significant differences from Canadian public sector accounting standards.

Significant accounting policies are as follows:

  1. Parliamentary authorities – WD is financed by the Government of Canada through Parliamentary authorities. Financial reporting of authorities provided to WD do not parallel financial reporting according to generally accepted accounting principles since authorities are primarily based on cash flow requirements. Consequently, items recognized in the Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position and in the Statement of Financial Position are not necessarily the same as those provided through authorities from Parliament. Note 3 provides a reconciliation between the bases of reporting. The planned results amounts in the "Expenses" and "Revenues" sections of the Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position are the amounts reported in the Future-oriented Statement of Operations included in the 2016-2017 Report on Plans and Priorities. Planned results are not presented in the "Government funding and transfers" section of the Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position and in the Statement of Change in Departmental Net Debt because these amounts were not included in the 2016-2017 Report on Plans and Priorities.
     
  2. Net Cash Provided by Government – WD operates within the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF), which is administered by the Receiver General for Canada. All cash received by WD is deposited to the CRF, and all cash disbursements made by WD are paid from the CRF. The net cash provided by Government is the difference between all cash receipts and all cash disbursements, including transactions between departments of the Government.
     
  3. Amounts due from or to the CRF are the result of timing differences at year-end between when a transaction affects authorities and when it is processed through the CRF. Amounts due from the CRF represent the net amount of cash that WD is entitled to draw from the CRF without further authorities to discharge its liabilities.
     
  4. Revenues:
     
    • Revenues are accounted for in the period in which the underlying transaction or event that gave rise to the revenue takes place.
       
    • Revenues that are non-respendable are not available to discharge WD's liabilities. While the Deputy Head is expected to maintain accounting control, he has no authority regarding the disposition of non-respendable revenues. As a result, non-respendable revenues are considered to be earned on behalf of the Government of Canada and are therefore presented in reduction of the entity's gross revenues.
       
  5. Expenses - Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis:
     
    • Transfer payments are recorded as expenses when authorization for the payment exists and the recipient has met the eligibility criteria or the entitlements established for the transfer payment program. Transfer payments that become repayable as a result of conditions specified in the contribution agreement that have come into being are recorded as a reduction to transfer payment expense and as a receivable.

      Vacation pay and compensatory leave are accrued as the benefits are earned by employees under their respective terms of employment.

      Services provided without charge by other government departments for accommodation, employer contributions to the health and dental insurance plans, legal services and workers' compensation are recorded as operating expenses at their estimated cost.
       
  6. Employee future benefits
     
    1. Pension benefits: Eligible employees participate in the Public Service Pension Plan (The Public Service Superannuation Act), a multiemployer plan administered by the Government. WD's contributions to the Plan are charged to expenses in the year incurred and represent the total departmental obligation to the Plan. WD's responsibility with regard to the Plan is limited to its contributions. Actuarial surpluses or deficiencies are recognized in the financial statements of the Government of Canada, as the Plan's sponsor.
       
    2. Severance benefits: Employees entitled to severance benefits under labour contracts or conditions of employment earn these benefits as services necessary to earn them are rendered. The obligation relating to the benefits earned by employees is calculated using information derived from the results of the actuarially determined liability for employee severance benefits for the Government as a whole.
       
  7. Accounts and loans receivable
     
    • These are stated at the lower of cost and net recoverable value. A valuation allowance is recorded for accounts and loans receivable where recovery is considered uncertain.
       
    1. Unconditionally repayable transfer payments: Transfer payments that are unconditionally repayable are recognized as loans receivable because they must be repaid without condition, under various repayment terms. The loans have significant concessionary terms as they include a no-interest clause, and are discounted so they can be recorded at their estimated present value.
       
    2. Transfer payments recoverable – Conditionally repayable transfer payments: Transfer payments that are conditionally repayable are reclassified as accounts receivable when conditions specified in the agreement come into effect, or in the event of default.
       
  8. Tangible capital assets – All tangible assets and leasehold improvements having an initial cost of $10,000 or more are recorded at their acquisition cost. WD does not capitalize intangibles, works of art and historical treasures that have cultural, aesthetic or historical value, assets located on Indian Reserves and museum collections.

    Amortization of tangible capital assets is done on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:
     
    Tangible capital assets
    Asset Class Amortization Period
    Machinery and equipment 10 years
    Computer hardware 3 years
    Computer software 7 years
    Vehicles 5 years
    Leasehold improvements

    Lesser of the remaining term of lease or useful life of the improvement

    Assets under construction are recorded in the applicable capital asset class in the year that they become available for use and are not amortized until they become available for use.

  9. Measurement uncertainty – The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the financial statements. At the time of preparation of these statements, management believes the estimates and assumptions to be reasonable. The most significant items where estimates are used are allowance for doubtful accounts, the liability for employee future benefits, the useful life of tangible capital assets and unamortized discount related to unconditionally repayable transfer payments. Actual results could significantly differ from those estimated. Management's estimates are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are recorded in the financial statements in the year they become known.

3. Parliamentary authorities

WD receives most of its funding through annual parliamentary authorities. Items recognized in the Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position and the Statement of Financial Position in one year may be funded through parliamentary authorities in prior, current or future years. Accordingly, WD 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:

(a) Reconciliation of net cost of operations to current year authorities used

5. Employee future benefits

(a) Pension benefits

WD employees participate in the Public Service Pension Plan (the "Plan"), which is sponsored and administered by the Government of Canada. Pension benefits accrue up to a maximum period of 35 years at a rate of 2 percent per year of pensionable service, times the average of the best five consecutive years of earnings. The benefits are integrated with Canada/Québec Pension Plan benefits and they are indexed to inflation.

Both the employees and WD contribute to the cost of the Plan. Due to the amendment of the Public Service Superannuation Act following the implementation of provisions related to Economic Action Plan 2012, employee contributors have been divided into two groups – Group 1 relates to existing plan members as of December 31, 2012 and Group 2 relates to members joining the Plan as of January 1, 2013. Each group has a distinct contribution rate.

The 2016-2017 expense amounts to $2,653,917 ($2,774,330 in 2015-2016). For Group 1 members, the expense represents approximately 1.12 times (1.25 times in 2015-2016) the employee contributions and, for Group 2 members, approximately 1.08 times (1.24 times in 2015-2016) the employee contributions.

WD's responsibility with regard to the Plan is limited to its contributions. Actuarial surpluses or deficiencies are recognized in the financial statements of the Government of Canada, as the Plan's sponsor.

(b) Severance benefits

Severance benefits provided to WD employees were previously based on an employee's eligibility, years of service and salary at termination of employment. However, since 2011 the accumulation of severance benefits for voluntary departures progressively ceased for substantially all employees. Employees subject to these changes were given the option to be paid the full or partial value of benefits earned to date or collect the full or remaining value of benefits upon departure from the public service. By March 31, 2017, substantially all settlements for immediate cash out were completed. Severance benefits are unfunded and, consequently, the outstanding obligation will be paid from future authorities.

The changes in the obligations during the year were as follows:

Severance benefits
  2017 2016
(in dollars)
Accrued benefit obligation - Beginning of year $ 1,690,386 $ 1,855,569
Expense for the year (16,390) 246,392
Benefits paid during the year (353,152) (411,575)
Accrued benefit obligation - End of year $ 1,320,844 $ 1,690,386

(a) Unconditionally repayable transfer payments

The unconditionally repayable transfer payment portfolio consists of 97 non-interest bearing loans issued in the years from 1997 to 2017, with prescribed repayment terms. The loans are recorded at their discounted net present values using market interest rates at the time of the loans. An allowance of $19,942,253 ($11,093,252 in 2015–2016) has been recorded.

With respect to interest charged on unconditionally repayable transfer payments, an allowance of $100 ($100 in 2015–2016) has been recorded.

(b) Transfer payments recoverable – Conditionally repayable transfer payments

Transfer payments recoverable relate to contributions made to outside parties which are repayable based on conditions specified in the contribution agreement that have come into being. No allowance in 2016–2017 ($0 in 2015–2016) has been recorded.

10. Related party transactions

The Government has centralized some of its administrative activities for efficiency, cost-effectiveness purposes and economic delivery of programs to the public. As a result, the Government uses central agencies and common service organizations so that one department performs services for all other departments and agencies without charge. The costs of these services, such as the payroll and cheque issuance services provided by Public Works and Government Services Canada, audit services provided by the Office of the Auditor General, and the email, network and data centre services provided by Shared Services Canada, are not included in WD's Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position.

Part of WD's mandate is to coordinate federal economic activities in the West. In this regard, WD implements programs on behalf of other federal departments and agencies.
