Sources: - 1990-91 to 2003-04: 2009-10 Government of Alberta Annual Report, Executive Summary, Historical Fiscal Summary table, with program expense adjusted to include annual pension provision expense (i.e. annual change in unfunded pension liablities) beginning in 1993-94;
- 2004-05 to 2007-08: Government of Alberta annual reports, Consolidated Financial Statements (i.e. Public Accounts of Alberta);
- 2008-09 to 2018-19: 2018-19 Government of Alberta Annual Report, Budget 2018 Key Results, Historical Fiscal Summary table.
Data are not fully comparable due mainly to various changes to accounting standards. Major breaks in the series include:
- 1990-91 to 1992-93: expense excludes change in unfunded pension liabilities; net financial debt / (assets) does include unfunded pension liabilities;
- 1993-94 to 2003-04: SUCH sector (school boards, universities and colleges, health entities) own-source revenue and expense, and assets and liabilities not included in numbers (grants to these entities are included in expense);
- 2004-05 to 2007-08: SUCH sector included on "net equity" basis (net revenue included in revenue; net assets included in assets);
- 2008-09 to 2018-19: SUCH sector included on "line-by-line" basis (revenue, expense, assets and liabilities reported in revenue, expense, assets and liabilities).
(1) Federal transfers include: $1,582 million for 2013 Alberta flood assistance in 2013-14, less $423 million in 2014-15, $80 million in 2015-16, $29 million in 2016-17, $128 million in 2017-18, and $56 million in 2018-19, following revisions to original estimates of disaster recovery costs and what expense is eligible, and associated federal revenue accrued in 2013-14; a $251 million Fiscal Stabilization Program payment in 2015-16; and accrued revenue of $495 million in wildfire assistance in 2016-17, less $67 million in 2017-18 and $32 million in 2018-19, following revisions to original estimates of costs and associated federal revenue accrued in 2016-17.

(1) Includes the impacts of the joint trusteeship of pension plans, restructuring exit expenses, negociating framework incentive payments, climate action dividends, and $1,599 million for Harmonized Sales Tax transition funding repayment in 2011-12. These items are included in total expenditures in B.C. fiscal reporting.
Due to a break in the series following the move to fully comply with generally accepted accounting principles, data from 1998-99 onward are not directly comparable with earlier years.
