|---|---|---|
| Regular Accounts Payable: The overall decrease of $14.5M can be largely attributed to an ongoing collective effort by all operating hubs to process payments on timely basis and increased efficiency due to the systems conversion (Oasis-SAP) | -14,496 | -2% |
| Payable at year End G&C - External (British Columbia): This variance can be contributed to a reduction of a payable at year end (PAYE) under the Education strategic outcome. Due to system issues, the PAYE was setup in 2012-2013 for an amount owing to the Province using an estimated student count which resulted in an overestimated ending balance. In addition, efforts in reducing holdbacks for low risk recipient have also contributed to the reduction of the PAYE balance. | -18,135 | -3% |
| Payable at year End O&M - External: Ongoing efforts to implement the Policy on Payables at Year End (PAYE) have also contributed to the reduction of this line item. | -4,804 | -1% |

| During 2013-2014, the total amount released from the Indian Moneys Suspense Accounts exceeded total receipts by $4.8M.

| For fiscal year 2013-2014, the variance analysis for guarantee deposits is based on cash transactions only. This is due to the removal of non-negotiable Letters of Credit from the security deposit accounts. | ||
During 2013-2014, total cash receipts credited to Guarantee Deposit Account exceeded total cash disbursements by $16.3M. Five significant cash receipts, totaled $19.3M, were received in Northwest Territories and Nunavut regions:

| The balances of the Indian Band Funds, Indian Savings Accounts and Indian Estates Accounts comprise the Indian Moneys Trust Accounts. Changes in balances result from total receipts credited to the accounts minus total disbursements made during the year. | ||
| In 2013-2014, in Indian Band Funds alone, disbursements exceeded receipts by $26.7M, which explains almost the total decrease in trust accounts of $29.6M. The decrease in the balance of the Indian Band Funds balance during the year is primarily due to several significant disbursements from Band Fund accounts in Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia. | -26,652 | -3% |
| In 2013-2014, Indian Savings Account disbursements exceeded receipts by $1.8M. The decrease in the balance of the Indian Savings Account during the year is mainly due to two large disbursements in Alberta and Saskatchewan. | -1,796 | 0% |

| The settlement of Specific or Comprehensive Claims flow through transfer payments to First Nations and which are explained in C 1, C 5 and C 8. The payments for payments flow through operating expenses for court awards and other settlements as seen on C 7. | ||
| Specific Claims: The majority of the decrease in liability recorded can be explained by the settlement of 15 claims for a total of $369.3M.
Another $130M decrease is due to one claim being removed from the inventory of Specific Claims and now reported as a Special Claim. |
-563,548 | -5% |
| Comprehensive Native Land Claims: The net increase in balance is attributable to inflationary changes (Final Domestic Demand Implicit Price Index) and population increases over the noted period. During this period there has been no new mandates or changes to the existing mandates. | 87,220 | 1% |
| Special Claims: One claim was removed from Specific Claim inventory and reported now under Special Claim. | 130,000 | 1% |

| The total liability for one mine has increased by 14% from $926M (2012-2013) to $1,056M (2013-2014). The main reason for the increase in costs is that the estimate is now based on the Medium Term Plan rather than the 2013-2014 year end balances. The estimate from the Medium Term Plan more accurately reflects future project management requirements and includes costs to provide project management support by third party consultants. Further, an increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rate used in the calculation of the cost estimate for contaminated sites resulted in the increase of the liabilities. | 172,153 | 7% |

| This represents the decrease in contingent liability of contaminated sites (in the Southern Region). The decrease resulted by a reduction of contingent liability for previously reported sites of approximately $12.8M. The reduction in liability is due to AANDC South of 60's implementation of the stricter Public Sector Accounting Board Standard 3260 and guidance provided by the Office of the Comptroller General on contingent liability recognition. By implementing the stricter standard and guidance, South of 60º reduced the total number of sites reporting a contingent liability from 23 to 2. Of the $13.5 million in contingent liability reported in the previous year, $9.1 million was determined to meet the criteria of a liability; $3.4 million was determined to not meet the criteria of a contingent liability and the sites were closed; and 1 site had its contingent liability zeroed out while it undergoes further assessment to better determine the extent and responsibility of the contamination. | -12,802 | -95% |

| Employee Severance Benefit Liability is based on a calculation promulgated by the Office of the Comptroller General of Canada. Decrease of the liability is largely due to the fact that in 2013-2014, more employee groups accepted the elimination of severance benefits for voluntary separation, therefore, lower future severance benefit liabilities have been accrued for these groups. |

| Amounts included in the Due from the Consolidated Revenue Fund are the result of timing differences at year end between when a transaction affects authorities and when it is processed through the Consolidated Revenue Fund. Amounts due from the Consolidated Revenue Fund represent the net amount of cash AANDC is entitled to draw from the fund without further authorities to discharge its liabilities.
The decrease in Due from the Consolidated Revenue Fund can be attributed to the following: |

| Accounts Receivable (Other Government Departments): The variance can be explained by 2 events.

Also, higher interest rates generated by Band's fund, attribute to the increase. | 5,500 | 7% |
| Accounts Receivable (Overpayments to be Recovered): The majority of this variance can be attributed to 3 accounts receivables that were set up in the 2013-2014 year. The receivables are in relation to the Emergency Response items related to a flood in 2011. | 4,248 | 5% |

Highlights of Major Variances – Statement of Operations
2013-14 versus 2012-2013
Expenses
There were no significant changes to the Department's strategic outcomes from 2012-2013 to 2013-2014. Additionally, no material adjustments were made to the strategic outcomes during the year. The explanation of individual variances grouped by strategic outcomes can be found in the expense variance summaries in Part C.
People
The decrease can be largely explained by the change in the provision for claims and litigation for litigation claims, non-litigation claims and Indian Residential Schools claims (See C 8 – Operating Expenses, Claims and Litigation)
Land and Economy
The decrease is mainly attributed to a reduction of contaminated sites liability, decrease of cost estimates and offset by additional liabilities from new sites assessed.
Government
The decrease is largely explained by the variance of specific claims in First Nations. Negotiating a claim depends on when claims are submitted by First Nations, the nature of claims, their values and the progress of negotiations, which is different from one claim to another. (See C 1 – Transfer Payments, First Nations).
North
The increase can be explained by the implementation of the Site Stabilisation Plan and the Consumer Price Index rate increase. This Site Stabilisation plan focuses on the remediation of high risk items at the site that could not wait for the environmental assessment process to be complete. (See C 9 – Professional and Special Services). Further, an increase in the Consumer Price Index rate used in the calculation of the cost estimate for contaminated sites resulted in the increase of the liabilities.
Internal Services
The increase can be explained by the variance of Court Awards and Other Settlements. These expenditures are related to the settlement of damage, other claims against the crown and court awards. The majority of the variance is due to a settlement for this claim (Litigation file): Slate Falls Nation v. The Attorney General (Canada) and Ontario Power Generation Inc. (See C 7 – Court Awards and other Settlements).

Highlights of Major Variances – Statement of Operations
Actual versus Planned
Planned Results
The forecasted financial information for 2013-2014 only included amounts presented in the 2013-2014 Report on Plan and Priorities.
The 2013-2014 Supplementary Estimates were not included in the 2013-2014 forecasts.
Accruals for new contingent liabilities for claims and litigations and new environmental liabilities were excluded from the forecast as they could not be reasonably foreseen or quantified.
Expenses
North
North presents the highest variance between actual and planned. The variance is mainly due to a higher CPI rate used in the actual cost estimate. The variance can also be attributed to an increase in accrued environmental liabilities recorded for the northern regions (C 10 – Operating Expenses, Contaminated Sites) while a decrease was forecasted for remediation of existing contaminated sites.
Internal Services
The increase can be explained by the variance of Court Awards and Other Settlements and the related Legal Services. These expenses are related to the settlement of damage, other claims against the crown and court awards. The majority of variance is due of a settlement for the litigation file (See C 7 – Court Awards and Other Settlements).
Revenue
Resource Royalties
The variance is due to an adjustment to prior year revenues and lower than anticipated diamond and petroleum prices (See A 9 - Accounts Receivable and Advances).
Miscellaneous Revenue
Some revenue items were not forecasted as they were considered extraordinary items, i.e. forfeiture revenue and gain on disposal of non-capital and capital assets etc. These amounts were included in 2013-2014 actual but not included in the planned.

| Transfer payments to First Nations include a variety of programs, but also include transfers related to the settlement of specific claims as well as comprehensive claims. The number of settlements and their values differ during the fiscal year for every year thereby having no correlation between years or from one year to the next. The variance is due to the nature of negotiating specific claims. Negotiating a claim depends on when claims are submitted by First Nations, the nature of the claims, their values and the progress of negotiations, which is different from one claim to another. The Specific Claim Settlement is managed quarterly and readjusted constantly. The variance is reported on a quarterly basis. | -173,912 | -3% |

| This expense represents the change in the Provision for Claims and Litigation for specific claims, comprehensive claims and specific claim. Decrease of $264M in the 2013-2014 liability: This decrease was mainly due to change in the liabilities for specific claims (-$563M as shown in A 5), which can be mostly explained by the settlement of 15 claims and one claim now reclassified to special claims, as well as the change in valuation. An additional decrease of $33M as the result of a subsequent removal of several specific claims following the results of an opinion from the Department of Justice. Decrease of $403M in the 2012-2013 liability: The decrease can be explained by the settlement and change in valuation of specific claims (-$705M), offset by an increase in comprehensive land claims due to new and revised mandates in the British Columbia and Quebec regions (+$267M) and an addition of a special claim (+$35M). (See A 5 - Provision for Claims and Litigation for details) Decrease of $543M in the 2011-2012 liability: This decrease was mainly due to settlement and change in valuation of specific claims (-$329M) and reduction of mandated amounts for Agreement in Principle mandates in the British Columbia region (-$214M). The settlements of specific and comprehensive claims flow through Transfer Payments to First Nations as shown in C 1. |

| This line item represents the change in the Provision for Claims and Litigation for litigation claims, non-litigation claims and Indian Residential Schools claims. Decrease of $695 in the 2013-14 liability, resulting in a credit in the line item: This is mainly due to the reduction of liability of $671M for Indian Residential School Claims, which is primarily attributed to the settlement of more than 5,000 claims during the year, and by the settlement for litigation and non-litigation (-$69M) and the addition of new department estimate for litigation claim (+$48M). Note that the deadline to apply to the Independent Assessment Process was September 19, 2012.

| Expenses incurred on behalf of government are a line item within the Statement of Operations as per the government reporting standards. AANDC does not hold the account within its financial reporting system and it is reported only for presentation purposes. Expenses incurred on behalf of government are an offset to the gross expenses and are calculated from to AANDC's bad debt expenses related to loans and interest receivable (assets held of behalf of government). When bad debt expenses increase the expenses incurred on behalf of government decrease. If the bad debt expenses decrease, the expenses incurred on behalf of government increase. The majority variance relates to Direct Loans - Native Claimants. |

| One entry of $2.3M was done to clear old year amounts from old systems (Departmental Accounting System, Oasis 11.03) coded to the generic suspense account. After analysis, a lot of the transactions were credited to the suspense account instead to affect the proper appropriation or Consolidated Revenue Fund. One journal entry of $1.6M was created to reverse journal entry from 2001-2002. These vouchers were to create the accounting in the General Ledger for credit memos but they were already completed within the accounts receivable module.
