SECTION III: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Future-Oriented Statement of Operations

The future-oriented condensed statement of operations provides a general overview of the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces’ operations. The forecast of financial information on expenses and revenues is prepared on an accrual accounting basis to strengthen accountability and to improve transparency and financial management.

Because the future-oriented condensed statement of operations is prepared on an accrual accounting basis, and the forecast and planned spending amounts presented in other sections of the Report on Plans and Priorities are prepared on an expenditure basis, amounts differ.

A more detailed future-oriented statement of operations and associated notes, including a reconciliation of the net cost of operations to the requested authorities, can be found on the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces’ website 53.

The Department of Finance publishes cost estimates and projections for these measures annually in the Tax Expenditures and Evaluations 60 publication. The tax measures presented in the Tax Expenditures and Evaluations publication are the sole responsibility of the Minister of Finance.
