Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2013
Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)
3. Parliamentary authorities
The Agency receives most of its funding through annual parliamentary authorities. Items recognized in the Statement of Financial Position and the Statement of Operations and Agency Net Financial Position in one year may be funded through Parliamentary authorities in prior, current or future years. Accordingly, the Agency has different net results of operations for the year on a government funding basis than on an accrual accounting basis. These differences are reconciled in the following tables:
