CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. | Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements comply with the Standard on Quarterly Financial Reports for Crown Corporations issued by the Treasury Board of Canada.
Except as indicated below, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of computation as our audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. They should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the accompanying notes as set out on pages 135-185 of our 2020 Annual Report.
Pursuant to the Export Development Act, the Minister of Small Business, Export Promotion and International Trade, with the concurrence of the Minister of Finance, may authorize us to undertake certain financial and contingent liability transactions on behalf of the Government of Canada. These transactions and the legislative authorities that underlie them have come to be known collectively as “Canada Account”. Accounts for these transactions are maintained separately from our accounts and are consolidated annually as at March 31 with the financial statements of the Government of Canada, which are reported upon separately by the Government and audited by the Auditor General of Canada.
Certain comparative industry figures in the notes to the quarterly financial statements have been reclassified from Standard Industry Classification (SIC) to North America Industry Classification System (NAICS) in order to align with our shareholder’s standards on industry data reporting. Note 7 – Financial Instrument Risks has been impacted by the industry reclassification.
