The Public Accounts of Canada 2008-2009 covers the fiscal
year of the federal Government ending March 31, 2009. The report was tabled in
the House of Commons on November 4, 2009. The Public Accounts of Canada
is the report of the Government of Canada prepared annually by the Receiver
General, as required by section 64 of the Financial Administration Act. The
report covers the financial transactions of the Government during the fiscal
year.
The information contained in the report originates from two
sources of data:
- the summarized financial transactions presented in the
Accounts of Canada, maintained by the Receiver General; and
- the detailed records, maintained by departments and
agencies.
The Public Accounts of Canada is produced in three
volumes:
- Volume One: Summary Report and Financial Statements
presents the financial statements of Canada on which the Auditor General has
expressed an opinion and provided her observations; a discussion and analysis
of the financial statements and a ten-year comparison of financial information;
analyses of revenues and expenses, and of asset and liability accounts; and
various other statements.
- Volume Two: Details of Expenditures and Revenues
presents the financial operations of the Government, segregated by ministry and
is designed to reflect as closely as possible the form and content of Part II
of the Main Estimates (Prior to 2003-2004, this part was titled
Volume Two Part One).
- Volume Three: Additional Information and Analyses
(Prior to 2003-2004, this part was titled Volume Two Part Two).
