The Crown Agencies Resource Office (CARO), Ministry of Finance, maintains a registry of British Columbia’s Crown Corporations and Such Sector Organizations. These are public sector organizations, other than ministries, within the Province of BC government reporting entity. These organizations are administered at varying levels of independence from government, but are within government’s ultimate control under standards defined by the Canadian Public Sector Accounting Board Handbook. The financial and legal tests for control include, but are not limited to, government’s appointment or removal of a majority of the Board, holding the majority of shares, access to assets, or responsibly for obligations.

Commercial Crown Corporations Commercial Crown corporations are separate legal entities that deliver goods and services on a commercial, for profit basis.

Service Delivery Crown Corporations Service Delivery Crown corporations are separate legal entities that deliver goods and / or services based on government policies, and the majority receive government funding.

SUCH Sector Organizations SUCH Sector Organizations are separate legal entities including School Districts, Universities, Colleges and Health Authorities (SUCH) that receive government appropriations and collect some fees for services.

Advisory Boards Advisory Boards are not separate legal entities from Ministries and are subject to the financial and administrative accountability mechanisms that apply to Ministry branches and programs. Statutory and non-statutory boards provide advisory services to Ministers and/or government.

Tribunals Tribunals are created by statute to exercise adjudicative functions independent of government, but are subject to the financial and administrative accountability mechanisms that apply to Ministry branches and programs. Tribunals may or may not be separate legal entities.

The Registry is organized in two ways:

by Classification and by Minister Responsible.
