PSAB Reporting Model

■ The Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) issues standards with respect to accounting and financial reporting for the public sector.

■ Years ago there was little or no standards for government financial reporting and governments all did it a differently.

PSAB Reporting Model■ PSAB established to set standards for

governments based on the financial reporting information required for public sector.

■ Standards are established after extensive research and consensus from all levels of government and other stakeholders by way of exposure drafts being issued together with meetings throughout the country.

PSAB Reporting Model

■Municipal Act 185(1) – Must prepare F/S’s for municipal governments recommended by CICA

■185(2)- F/S’s must include■Debt limit of the municipality■Amount of debt of the municipality

■New Financial Statement – uses accounting principles applied by businesses and farms for (almost) ever.

■Consider that a farmer would

always include in his/her ownership equity assets such as equipment, buildings etc.

PSAB Reporting Model (New)

■Conceptual model of (New) Income Statements is now:

RevenueLess: ExpensesEquals: Excess of Revenues

over Expenses

Expenditures vs. Expenses

Expenditures (Old)

■ Are outlays of assets to buy goods & services

■ Recorded when the outlay is made

■ Capital expenditures

Expenses (New)

■ Are the consumption of assets to provide goods & services

■ Recorded as they are incurred

■ Amortization of TCA

It’s really the difference between cash expended and the cost of services delivered.
