1985 Report of the Auditor General of Canada

1985 Report

Appendix D—Report on Quarterly Reports

As required by section 153.1(2) of Part XII of the Financial Administration Act, I have examined the Quarterly Reports to Parliament on Crown corporations tabled by the President of the Treasury Board for the four quarters indicated below:

  Tabled in Parliament
Quarter Ended House of Commons Senate
September 30, 1984 December 13, 1984 December 13, 1984
December 31, 1984 January 28, 1985 February 5, 1985
March 31, 1985 May 14, 1985 May 15, 1985
June 30, 1985 September 18, 1985 September 19, 1985

This is my first report on these Quarterly Reports. The reports contain information about the timing of tabling by the appropriate Ministers, of summaries (and amendments to them) of Crown corporations' corporate plans, operating budgets, capital budgets and annual reports.

My examination included a review of the systems and procedures used by the Treasury Board to monitor the timing of tabling the summaries and annual reports in each House of Parliament and a verification of the information contained in each of the Quarterly Reports.

These four Quarterly Reports were laid before each House of Parliament in accordance with section 153.1(1) and (3) of the Financial Administration Act and, based on my examination, I have concluded that the information contained in them is accurate and complete.
