About CGA-Canada _________________________________________

CGA-Canada today
CGA is the fastest-growing accounting designation in Canada. The CGA designation focuses
on integrity, ethics and the highest education requirements. Recognized as the countrys
accounting business leaders, CGAs provide strategic counsel, financial leadership, and
overall direction to all sectors of the Canadian economy.
The Certified General Accountants Association of Canada CGA-Canada sets
standards, develops education programs, publishes professional materials, advocates on
public policy issues, and represents CGAs nationally and internationally. The Association
represents 75,000 CGAs and students in Canada, Bermuda, the Caribbean, Hong Kong and
China.
Mission
CGA-Canada advances the interests of its members and the public through national and
international representation and the establishment of professional standards, practices, and
services.
A proud history
CGA-Canada was founded in Montral in 1908 under the leadership of John Leslie, vicepresident of the Canadian Pacific Railway. From the beginning, its objective was to
encourage improvement in skills and job performance a goal the Association holds to this
day.
On April 14, 1913, Canadas Parliament passed the Act that incorporated CGA-Canada as a
self-regulating professional Association. Over the decades that followed, branches became
associations in their own right, affiliated with the national body.
A revised Act of Incorporation, passed in 1999, updated CGA-Canadas powers and
reflected the Associations objectives and initiatives for the next millennium. The Act also
established a French name for CGA-Canada Association des comptables gnraux
accrdits du Canada.
Structure and roles

CGA-Canada is governed by a Board of Directors that includes regional representation as
well as a public representative. An Affiliation Council, comprised of representatives of each
CGA affiliate, sets the strategic plan of CGA-Canada and approves national policy.
Individual CGAs are represented nationally through CGA-Canada, and regionally through
their provincial/territorial/regional associations and local chapters.
The Association:
ensures national recognition for the profession and advocates on policy issues of concern
to the profession
raises the profile of the CGA designation and represents members internationally
iii
sets national educational standards, and develops and maintains an internationally

competitive program of professional studies and examinations to certify CGAs in Canada
and overseas
provides a range of services to affiliates and members
contributes to the professions body of knowledge through research and participation in
international accounting organizations, particularly the International Federation of
Accountants (IFAC).
Nationally and internationally, CGA-Canada contributes to accounting standard-setting by

sharing its research findings and views. The Association also contributes to public policy
discussions, advocating for the interests of its members and the public.
As a self-regulating organization, CGA-Canada also sets high standards of professionalism
through its own Code of Ethical Principles and Rules of Conduct for members. This
comprehensive set of rules and guidelines protects the public interest and ensures that CGAs
maintain the highest ethical standards.
Education and professional development

CGA-Canada's competency-based education program has long been acknowledged as a
leader among distance learning education programs. Innovative technology is used not only
in the delivery of the program, but is incorporated into the curriculum content as well.
Similarly, ethical principles are also integrated throughout the curriculum. Education
partnerships with Laurentian University offer students options for meeting the mandatory
degree requirement.
Mandatory continuing professional education ensures that CGAs maintain their professional
competence. CGA-Canada provides professional development opportunities in public
practice, ethics, accounting and auditing standards, business valuation, taxation, and other
topics. The Professional Development Network PD Network developed
collaboratively with CGA affiliates, is an extensive and powerful online information
resource for members.

Introduction to Model Financial Statements

The Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) adopted International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) for publicly reportable enterprises for fiscal years beginning on or after
January 1, 2011. This adoption precipitated the subdivision of the CICA Handbook
Accounting into five parts:
Part I International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

Part II Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (ASPE)
Part III Accounting Standards for Not-for-Profit Organizations
Part IV Accounting Standards for Pension Plans
Part V Pre-changeover Accounting Standards
Part V is the old CICA Handbook Accounting as it existed at December 31, 2010.
This has been retained as an interim measure for two reasons: i) to help facilitate the
transition to the new standards; and ii) as continuing guidance for the not-for-profit
sector until the mandatory adoption date of Part III of the Handbook. The Applicability
section of the Preface to the CICA Handbook Accounting establishes the types of entities
entitled to use the component parts. It reads:
APPLICABILITY
4
Publicly accountable enterprises, other than pension plans and other entities within
the scope of Part IV of the Handbook (see paragraph 7), apply the International
Financial Reporting Standards in Part I of the Handbook.
Private enterprises apply either the accounting standards for private enterprises in
Part II of the Handbook or the International Financial Reporting Standards in Part
I of the Handbook.
Not-for-profit organizations apply either the accounting standards for not-for-profit

organizations in Part III of the Handbook or the International Financial Reporting
Standards in Part I of the Handbook.
Pension plans, and benefit plans that have characteristics similar to pension plans
and provide benefits other than pensions, apply the accounting standards for
pension plans in Part IV of the Handbook. They do not apply IAS 26 Accounting and
Reporting by Retirement Benefit Plans, included in Part I of the Handbook.
When an entity can choose the standards in more than one Part of the Handbook as
its basis of accounting, the entity applies only the standards in the Part it has
selected unless that Part specifies otherwise.
In Canada, there are about 1,500 entities that are required to present their financial
statements in accordance with IFRS and about 1.5 million entities that can elect to present
their financial statements with Part II of the Handbook. As the vast majority of financial
statements prepared by CGA firms are for private entities, these Model Financial Statements
focus on the presentation of financial statements in accordance with Part II Accounting
Standards for Private Enterprises. Model Financial Statements for not-for-profits, prepared
in accordance with Part III of the Handbook, has been included in the online Resource
Guide section. IFRS-based statements have not been presented; rather we have provided
vii
you with links to various sites that feature examples of model financial statements prepared
in accordance with IFRS.
The objectives of these model financial statements, accompanied by the Financial
Statements Guideline from the CGA-Canada Public Practice Manual, are to
show the preferred method of presentation of financial information

indicate the disclosure requirements for the presentation of financial information
indicate acceptable alternatives in financial statement style
The result is six sets of financial statements. All financial statements, except the consolidated
ones, provide account balances to show the relationships between the different statements.
The consolidated financial statements are intended simply as a format guide. Therefore, the
consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, retained earnings and changes in
shareholders equity and cash flow, as well as the notes to the financial statements, do not
provide account balances.
The consolidated financial statements are more complex than many actual company
statements; accounts are many and diverse. An attempt has been made to include the most
commonly used and most important types of accounts reported in financial statements.
However, the model statements do not contain examples of every type of account that may
be presented in financial statements.
The models have been prepared using various formats, orders of presentation, and types of
entities to provide a broad view of the possible presentation alternatives. Because of the
complexities, not all issues can be covered. These models cannot replace professional
judgment and should be used as guidelines, keeping in mind current practices and
CICA Handbook updates. Although statement style is a matter of preference, financial
disclosure is dictated by the Handbook. These model financial statements are updated to
CICA Handbook Accounting, Part II, Release II.3 (private enterprises).
Disclosure
Financial statement disclosure refers to the content of the statements and the specific items
of information that are to be separately reported. Financial disclosure in the model financial
statements is based on the accounting recommendations in the applicable part of the
CICA Accounting Handbook Part IIAccounting Standards for Private Enterprises.
References to the applicable sections of the Handbook are given in the appendices to the
CGA-Canada Financial Statements Guideline.
Statement style
Statement style refers to the format or arrangement of the information. While the CICA
Handbook Accounting (section 1400) sets out the general standards for financial
statement presentation, the accountant still has considerable discretion in this area. The
model financial statements display the most prevalent style used by Canadian corporations.
Depending on the magnitude of the account balances, they can be disclosed to the nearest
dollar, the nearest thousand dollars, or even the nearest million dollars.
Note:
Although the model financial statements display the current style of underlining used by a number of Canadian
corporations, you are not required to follow this style when completing assignments or writing examinations. Simple
underlining (single or double) or boldfacing of column totals, as used in the Module Notes, is satisfactory.
viii
Notes to financial statements

Canadian financial statements make extensive use of notes to disclose detailed information
that otherwise could be reported in the body of the financial statements. The main statements
are thus kept to a concise format, while the notes are considered an integral part of the
financial statements. The model financial statements provide some specific notes as
examples, while indications of other typical notes are shown in Appendix E. The notes
provided are examples only; they are not the only notes that might be issued by the type of
organization illustrated. In some cases, only indications are given for notes because there is
no standard; you are encouraged to carefully match the words to the particular
circumstances. Furthermore, it can be a matter of judgment as to whether or not a note is
necessary.
Order of presentation
The order provided in most of the model financial statements is that which auditors and
accountants normally use when providing financial statements to their clients and when the
financial statements are published as part of an annual report:
Auditors Report
Balance Sheet
Income statement
Statement of Retained Earnings
Cash Flow Statement
Notes to Financial Statements
Although the order of presentation is largely governed by convention, in practice, a certain

amount of variation is found in the order in which the components of the financial statements
are presented.
The MFS Resource Guide on Blackboard under the Study Resources Model Financial
Statements link provides supplemental information.

CGA-Canada
Financial Statements Guideline
Format and presentation
1.
Purpose and application
1.1
This Financial Statements Guideline provides format and presentation recommendations for
financial statements in audit, review, and compilation engagements. Audit and review
engagement financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), with all required disclosures. As established in the Basis of
Accounting section in the CICA Handbook Accounting, Parts I-IV of the Handbook require
an entity to state in the notes to its financial statements which set of standards it has applied. An
entity has the option of including an additional statement that its financial statements are in
accordance with Canadian GAAP. Compilation engagement financial statements are not
required to be presented in accordance with Canadian GAAP. The standard for compiled
financial statements is that they not be false or misleading.
1.2
The preparation of financial statements is both an art and a science. Financial statements should
be presented using a format that is professional, understandable, and that provides the user with
meaningful financial information. The preparation of financial statements also requires an
understanding of complex standards and practices for measurement, presentation, and
disclosure.
1.3
As described in paragraph 1400.03, financial statements shall present fairly in accordance with
GAAP the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of an entity that represent
faithfully the substance of transactions and other events in accordance with the elements of
financial statements, and the recognition and measurement criteria set out in the Financial
Statement Concepts section 1000.
1.4
The following main components of the financial statements will be explained and illustrated:
title page
table of contents
practitioners communication (Auditors Report, Review Engagement Report, or Notice to
Reader)
basic financial statements
notes to financial statements
supplementary or other information
1.5
These model financial statements portray the requirements of Part II (ASPE) of the CICA
Handbook Accounting. Links to sample statements prepared in accordance with Part I
(IFRS) are provided on the Model Financial Statements page under Study Resources.
2.
Title page
2.1
The title page should contain the name of the entity, the title of the financial statement, and the
date or period covered. In the case of a review engagement, the word Unaudited is inserted in
parentheses below Financial Statements or the date, to indicate the level of service provided:
Model Financial Statements 1
SAMPLE CORPORATION
Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Month, Day, Year
In the case of a compilation engagement, the words Unaudited See Notice to Reader
should be inserted in parentheses below Financial Statements or the date.
2.2
The name of the entity should be disclosed exactly as it appears within the articles of
incorporation, partnership registration, or other legal document. Where appropriate, presentation
of the name of the entity may be amended to reflect the entitys trading name, as illustrated next:
SAMPLE CORPORATION
(Operating as: Sample Distributors)
Month, Day, Year
2.3
The title should communicate to the reader what is included in the presentation. The following
examples indicate the circumstances when they should be used.
Used when more than one type of financial statement is presented (balance sheet, income
statement, retained earnings, and cash flow statement).
Consolidated Financial Statements

Used when the financial statements of two or more entities are merged into one set of
statements for presentation.
Balance Sheet
The exact title of the financial statement is used when only one statement is presented.
Financial Information
Used in the context of reporting on financial information other than financial statements;
examples of such financial information include:
specific financial statement items, such as sales at a particular location

grant application data
information about the effects of changing prices
amounts calculated for insurance or trust deed purposes
2.4
The date should be the last date of the current year; in the case of a period covered, its end date
should be the last date of the current period.
3.
Table of contents
3.1
Within the table of contents, the title of each statement or schedule should be disclosed as it
appears on the statement or schedule itself, i.e.:
Report identification: Auditors Report, Review Engagement Report, or Notice to Reader
Balance Sheet
Income statement
Statement 1
Statement 2

Cash Flow Statement
Statement 3
Statement 4

Supporting schedules to which the financial statements are cross-referenced
2 Model Financial Statements
4.
Practitioners communication
4.1
The heading used should be Auditors Report, Review Engagement Report, or Notice to
Reader and should be presented on the CGA firms letterhead.
4.2
The Auditors Report and Review Engagement Report should be addressed to the person(s)
engaging the practitioner. The inclusion of the city and province with the addressee is optional.
The following are some examples of addressing:
Corporations
To the Board of Directors
Sample Corporation Ltd.
To the shareholders

No address is required for the Notice to Reader report.
4.3
The practitioners communication is closed or signed off using the firms name rather than an
individual signature, unless it is a sole practitioner.
The following is an example of the firms signature and title:
[Signed]
Certified General Accountants
4.4
The date of the report is the date when work has been substantially completed. The location of
the practitioners office is included with the report date, at the bottom-left corner of the report as
per example.
[City, date]
5.
Basic financial statements
5.1
Financial statements typically consist of:
Balance Sheet
Income statement
Cash Flow Statement
5.2
Financial statements for an audit or review engagement are presented in accordance with
Canadian GAAP and require note disclosure relating to accounting policies and significant
information.
5.3
Compilation engagement financial statements may range in format and presentation from those
that are prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP to financial statements that do not meet
Canadian GAAP. Statements which are missing one or more of the required elements (i.e., the
lack of comparative figures or a cash flow statement, or sparse or non-existent financial
statement notes) are considered not prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP.
5.4
Comparative figures are normally presented with current year figures, per CICA Handbook
Accounting paragraph 1400.12:
Financial statements shall be prepared on a comparative basis, unless the comparative
information is not meaningful or the standards set out in Part II of the Handbook permit
otherwise.
For an audit or review engagement, note disclosure is required to provide the reason for not
reporting comparative figures in the financial statements. Furthermore, if the level of service of
the accountant for the preceding year is less than that of the current year, note disclosure is
required to inform the reader that the prior years comparative figures were prepared on a
review or compilation basis. Comparative figures note disclosure is included with the note
summarizing significant accounting policies. The following are examples of comparative figures
note disclosure:
5.5
Certain balances of the preceding period have been reclassified to conform to the current
years financial statement presentation.
Comparative financial statements showing the figures for the corresponding preceding year
were compiled without audit or review.
The comparative figures shown on the financial statements have been prepared by another
accounting firm.
Each financial statement should have a heading that consists of the name of the entity, the
statement title, and the date or period covered. Additionally, the Handbook recommends that
Each page of the information be conspicuously marked as being unaudited for review
engagement reports or Unaudited See Notice to Reader for compilation engagement
reports (CICA Handbook Assurance paragraphs 8100.27 and 9200.14f).
Examples of the two types of headings follow:
Review engagement:
SAMPLE CORPORATION
Balance Sheet
(Unaudited)
As At Month, Day, Year
Compilation engagement:
SAMPLE CORPORATION
Balance Sheet
(Unaudited See Notice to Reader)
5.6
If the audit or review engagement has been qualified, the header should refer the reader to the
appropriate report:
Audit engagement:
SAMPLE CORPORATION
Balance Sheet
(See Audit Report)
Review engagement:
SAMPLE CORPORATION
Balance Sheet
(Unaudited See Review Engagement Report)

9.1
See Appendix D for acceptable terminology and a list of items that appear in this statement.
10. Notes to financial statements

10.1 Notes are presented on a separate page or pages after the basic financial statements. Individual
notes to the financial statements are arranged in the same order as the specific items referred to in
the financial statements, and the heading should match the wording in the financial statements.
The referencing is usually limited to balance sheet items, retained earnings changes, and large and
unusual items in the statement of income. The order of the notes is generally as follows:
general (notes about the nature of the entitys operations or other important matters affecting
the basis of presentation)
summary of significant accounting policies
other notes to the financial statements
10.2 Each page of the notes to the financial statements should have a heading that consists of the
name of the entity, the title, and the date or period covered. In the case of review or compilation
engagements, the term Unaudited or Unaudited See Notice to Reader is inserted in
parentheses after the heading of each page of the notes to the financial statements.
10.3 Paragraph 1505.06 of the CICA Handbook Accounting requires that all significant
accounting policies followed by an entity be stated as an integral part of its financial statements.
The disclosure of accounting policies should describe accounting principles and methods that
involve:
a selection from existing alternatives, or
accounting principles and methods used which are peculiar to an industry in which an enterprise
operates
10.4 The notes to the financial statements are designed to present disclosures required by Canadian
GAAP regarding information not included in the financial statements. Notes usually pertain to
current-year figures unless prior-year disclosure continues to be significant. Reference to we,
us, client, and our should be avoided in the notes. Instead, reference should be made to
the company, the corporation, and management to reflect that the notes belong to the
client.
10.5 Policy notes should not be included in a compilation engagement.
10.6 The notes should be cross-referenced to the financial statement item to which they relate. Also,
it may be desirable to add a footer to the bottom of the balance sheet and statements of income,
retained earnings, and cash flow, such as
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

See the accompanying notes to the financial statements.
The attached notes are an integral part of these financial statements.
10.7 Some common sample notes are provided in Appendix E, in addition to those included in the
model financial statements.
11.
Supplementary or other information
11.1 Supplementary or other information may be included to provide detailed schedules of revenues,
expenses, or other information that is not part of the basic financial statements. This information
can be useful to the owner or management. Schedules should not present information required
by Canadian GAAP, which is part of the financial statements.
11.2 The information contained in supplementary schedules should be meaningful to the user. The
following are examples of items that may require a supplementary schedule:
cost of goods sold

department earnings statements
details of consolidation
comparative financial statements expressed in percentages
details of sales by product line
rental schedule
11.3 Schedule headings should not use the term statements. They are separate from the basic
financial statements; therefore, the term schedule is more appropriate. For example:
SAMPLE CORPORATION
Schedule of Cost of Goods Sold
(Unaudited)
For The Year Ended Month, Day, Year
11.4 The reference to the practitioners report provides the degree of responsibility taken in regard to
the supplementary schedules.

the accumulation is a negative figure, the single word deficit is a
suitable designation.
Current practice is divided between preparing a separate statement of
retained earnings and combining the statement of retained earnings
with the income statement. In all cases, the statement should show,

CASH FLOW STATEMENT
1540
Statement of cash flows
Notes:
The cash flow statement shall report cash flows during the period
classified by operating, investing and financing activities.
Two methods may be used to report cash flows from operating
activities the indirect or direct method. Although the preferred
method is the direct method, many companies continue to use the
indirect. The model financial statements therefore demonstrate both.
An enterprise shall present separately, major classes of gross cash
receipts and gross cash payments arising from investing and
financing activities, except to the extent that cash flows described in
paragraphs 1540.25 and 1540.26 are presented on a net basis.
Cash flows arising from each of the following operating, investing
or financing activities may be reported on a net basis:
a) cash receipts and payments on behalf of customers when the
cash flows reflect the activities of the customer rather than those
of the enterprise; and
b) cash receipts and payments for items in which the turnover is
quick, the amounts are large and the maturities are short.
Cash flows arising from transactions in a foreign currency shall be
recorded in an enterprise's reporting currency by applying to the
foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting
currency and the foreign currency at the date of the cash flow.
The cash flows of integrated foreign operations as well as those
arising from the investing and financing activities of self-sustaining
foreign operations shall be translated at the exchange rates between
the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the dates of the
cash flows. Cash flows from the operating activities of selfsustaining foreign operations shall be translated at the exchange
rates at which the respective items are translated for income
statement purposes.
Term
Handbook
Cash flows from interest and dividends received and paid and
included in the determination of net income shall be classified as
cash flows from operating activities. Interest and dividends not
included in the determination of net income shall be classified
according to their nature. Dividends and interest paid and charged to
retained earnings shall be presented separately as cash flows used in
financing activities. Cash flows from dividends paid by subsidiaries
to non-controlling interests shall be presented separately as cash
flows used in financing activities.
Cash flows arising from income taxes shall be classified as cash
flows from operating activities unless they can be specifically
identified with financing and investing activities, in which case they
may be classified accordingly.
The aggregate cash flows arising from each business combination
accounted for using the purchase method and disposals of business
units shall be presented separately and classified as cash flows from
investing activities.
Investing and financing transactions that do not require the use of
cash or cash equivalents shall be excluded from a cash flow
statement. Investing and financing transactions that do not require
the use of cash or cash equivalents shall be disclosed in the notes to
the financial statements in a way that provides all the relevant
information about these investing and financing activities.
An enterprise shall disclose the policy that it adopts in determining
the composition of cash and cash equivalents and present a
reconciliation of the amounts presented in its cash flow statement
with the equivalent items presented in the balance sheet. An
enterprise shall disclose the amount of cash and cash equivalents for
which use is restricted.

b) cash receipts from sales of property, plant and equipment and
other long-term assets;
c) cash payments to acquire equity or debt instruments of other
enterprises and interests in joint ventures (other than payments
for those instruments considered to be cash equivalents or those

d) cash receipts from sales of equity or debt instruments of other
enterprises and interests in joint ventures (other than receipts for
those instruments considered to be cash equivalents and those
held for trading purposes);

SAMPLE NOTES
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Part II Accounting Standards for Private
Enterprises of the CICA Handbook Accounting issued by the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB).
Going-concern
The financial statements of the company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles for private enterprises on a going-concern basis which assumes that the company will be able
to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
If the going-concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments may be
necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet
classifications used.
(Provide an explanation of any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt
on the entitys ability to continue as a going concern. If the statements are not prepared on a going concern basis,
disclose that fact and the reason why the entity is not regarded as a going concern.)
Going-concern (when going-concern problems exist)
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles for private enterprises that are applicable to a company that will continue in operation for the foreseeable
future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations (a going
concern). However, the use of generally accepted accounting principles that are applicable to a going concern is
potentially inappropriate as there is significant doubt concerning the companys ability to continue as a going
concern. Considering the operating losses accumulated in the last five years and the deficiency of working capital,
the companys ability to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities depends on the continued support of the
shareholders and the refinancing of long-term debt which amounts to $ XXX, maturing on [insert month, day, and
year]. Management has adopted a plan to rationalize its expenses to face these circumstances and is confident that
the necessary financing can be obtained from shareholders and a lending institution. The financial statements do not
reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going-concern assumption were not appropriate, as management
believes that the measures described above will mitigate the effect of the conditions that raise doubt about the
appropriateness of this assumption.
Use of estimates
When preparing financial statements according to Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, we make
estimates and assumptions relating to:
Reported amounts of revenue and expenses
Reported amounts of assets and liabilities
Disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
We base our assumptions on a number of factors including historical experience, current events, actions that the
company may undertake in the future, and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different conditions and assumptions. We use
estimates when accounting for certain items such as useful lives of capital assets, impairment of long-lived assets,
goodwill, employee future benefits allowance for doubtful accounts, and provision for slow-moving inventories and
income taxes.
Employee future benefits

The Company maintains a defined benefit plan that provides pension benefits for almost all of its employees.
Benefits are based on length of service and average rate of pay during the last five years of service. Employees are
not required to contribute to the plan. The plan provides increasing pension benefits to protect against inflation. The
Company is responsible for adequately funding the pension plan. There have not been any significant changes in the
contractual elements of the pension plan in the year under review. Contributions are made based on various actuarial
cost methods that are permitted by pension regulatory bodies. Contributions reflect actuarial assumptions about
future investment returns, salary projections, and future service benefits.
The fair value of the plan assets as at December 31, 20XY was $x,xxx.
The accrued benefit obligation at December 31, 20XY was $x,xxx.
The plan surplus at year end, December 31 was $x,xxx.
December 31, 20XX was the effective date of the most recent actuarial valuation for funding purposes.
Actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in income.
Foreign currency
Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to Canadian dollars at the exchange rate
in effect at the balance sheet date. Foreign currency denominated non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated to
Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Revenue and expense items are translated at
the exchange rate in effect at the time of the transaction. Amortization and property write-downs are translated at the
same exchange rate as the assets to which they relate. Foreign exchange gains or losses are included in the
determination of net earnings for the year.
Revenue recognition
We recognize revenue when earned, specifically when all the following conditions are met:
Services are provided or products are delivered to customers.

There is clear evidence that an arrangement exists.
Amounts are fixed or can be determined.
Our ability to collect is reasonably assured.
There is no significant obligation for future performance.
The amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated.
We record payments received in advance including upfront non-refundable payments as deferred revenues until we
provide the service or deliver the product to customers.
We classify highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase as cash and
cash equivalents.
INVESTMENTS
Investments resulting in significant influence
We use the equity method to record investments in entities subject to significant influence. The investment is
initially recorded at cost and adjustments are made to include our share of the investees net earnings or losses.
These adjustments are included in our net earnings. The amount of our investment is reduced by any dividends
received or receivable from the investment.
Financial assets measured at fair value
We value these investments at market value. The resulting gain and loss is taken to the income statement.
Financial assets measured at amortized cost

We value non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and a fixed maturity at amortized cost
using the effective interest rate method less any impairment loss. Gains or losses are recognized in net income when
the financial asset is derecognized or impaired, and through the amortization process.
Inventory
Raw materials and supplies are valued at the lower of weighted average cost and replacement cost. Work in process
and finished goods are valued at the lower of weighted average variable costs and net realizable value. The company
uses the first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost formula based on standard costs.
We have recorded property, plant and equipment at cost. Amortization is provided annually at rates and methods
over their estimated useful lives as follows, except in the year of acquisition when one half of the rate is used. We
review the estimates of useful lives of the assets every year and adjust them on prospective basis, if needed.
Building
Machinery under capital lease
5%
20%
20%
straight line
declining balance
declining balance
We record machinery under capital leases and related obligation of future lease payments initially at an amount
equal to the lesser of fair value of the machinery and the present value of those lease payments.
We classify major spare parts and standby equipment as property, plant and equipment when we expect to use them
during more than one period. Similarly, if the spare parts and servicing equipment can be used only in connection
with an item of property, plant and equipment, they are accounted for as property, plant and equipment.
We review for impairment of property, plant and equipment whenever events or changes in the circumstances
indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the total of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows
is less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over
the fair value of the asset during the year no impairment occurred.
Intangible assets
We record intangible assets at cost. Amortization is provided annually at rates calculated to write off the assets over
their estimated useful lives as follows:
Patents
Copyrights
17 years
15 years
straight line
straight line
Finite life intangibles noted as above are tested for impairment when the events or changes in the circumstances
indicate the carrying values will not be recoverable. Indefinite life intangibles are not amortized and tested for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may exceed its fair value.
Goodwill
Goodwill is reported at cost. There have not been any events or changes in circumstances that cause us to believe
that the value of this asset is impaired.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Companys financial instruments consist of marketable securities, receivables, short-term indebtedness,
payables, long-term debt, and related-party loans. Unless otherwise noted, it is our opinion that the Company is not
exposed to significant credit, currency, interest, liquidity, or other price risks arising from these financial
instruments. Moreover, our exposure to these risks has not materially changed from those evident in the previous
period. The fair value of the instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.
The Company is exposed to financial risk that arises from the fluctuation in interest rates and in the credit quality of
its customers.
Credit risk
Our credit risk consists principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term and other investments, and accounts
receivable. We maintained cash and cash equivalents with reputable and major financial institutions. The
investments include commercial papers and investments issued by high-credit quality corporations and financial
institutions. We consider the risk of non-performance of these instruments to be remote.
There is no customer comprising more than xx% of the total trade account receivable. There is no particular
concentration of credit risk. We perform an ongoing credit review of all our customers and establish allowance for
doubtful debts when the amounts are not collectible. In addition, we have entered into an agreement with Export
Development Corporation where it has assumed the risk credit loss in case of bankruptcy for up to xx% of the
accounts receivable from certain foreign and domestic customers to a maximum of $xxx in a given year. As of
month, day, year accounts receivable (before allowance) include accounts totalling $xxxx, that were pre-approved
for coverage subject to above-noted maximum, under the agreement.
We have also entered into derivative contracts to mitigate the credit risk, described in detail in note xx.
Currency risk
We are exposed to currency risk as a certain portion of our sales and expenses are incurred in U.S. dollars resulting
in U.S.-denominated accounts receivable and accounts payable. In addition, certain cash and cash equivalents are
denominated in U.S. dollars. These balances are therefore subject to gain or losses due to fluctuations in that
currency.
We have entered into foreign exchange derivative contracts, described in note xx, to mitigate these risks.
Interest rate risk
We are exposed to interest risk with respect to the following financial instruments:
Investments in debt securities
Bank indebtedness
Obligations under capital lease
We have entered into interest rate derivative contracts to mitigate this risk.
Liquidity risk
We consider the risk the Company faces of encountering difficulty in meeting our financial obligations to be
minimal. The company has a long history of profitability and historically generates strong cash flows from
operations. Our liquidity and solvency ratios are in the top quartile of our peer group.
Other price risk
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are
caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial
instruments traded in the market. The Company does face some other price risk with respect to our investment in a
portfolio of equity securities. We mitigate this risk to some degree by maintaining a diversified portfolio and only
investing in well-established companies with a dominant position in the marketplace.
Concentration of risk
The Company sells primarily to the retail sector. As such our accounts receivables are subject to concentration risk
in that most of our customers are affected similarly by the state of the economy. We manage this risk by thoroughly
investigating the credit history of clients requesting credit; establishing credit limits tied to their ability to pay; and
on an ongoing basis evaluating the financial status of our obligors by obtaining credit reports from mercantile
agencies and reviewing their financial statements.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Company has been named as defendant in a number of lawsuits. Claims in excess of $x and with an unfavorable
outcome in one or more of these actions could have a material effect on these financial statements and impact the
Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Legal counsel to the Company is unable to assess its potential
liability, if any, resulting from the lawsuits. No provision for possible loss has been included in these financial
statements.
COMMITMENTS
As at December 29, 20XX, the Company had commitments of $XXX,XXX (20XX $ XXX,XXX) for the
acquisition of property, plant and equipment, and the expansion of retail store facilities. Also, the Company has spent
$XXX,XXX and expects to spend an additional amount of approximately $XXX,XXX with respect to the completion
of a new warehouse.
COMPARATIVE FIGURES
Some of the prior years figures have been restated for comparative purposes and to conform to current year
presentation.

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Part II Accounting Standards for
Private Enterprises of the CICA Handbook Accounting issued by the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB).
Income tax
The Company follows the future income taxes method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method,
temporary differences arising from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its
carrying amount are used to calculate future income tax assets or liabilities, and are measured using
substantively enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which such
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Inventory
Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value using FIFO.
Investments in financial instruments
Investments in equity securities quoted in an active market are reported at fair value. Investments in debt
securities are reported at amortized cost less impairment, if any. Transaction costs on financial assets are
reported in two ways: i) if they are measured at fair value, they are expensed when incurred; ii) if they are
measured at amortized cost, they are capitalized.
Income from financial assets measured at fair value and gains and losses whether realized or unrealized
are reported in net income.
Income from financial assets measured at amortized cost and realized gains and losses are reported in net
income. Impairment losses are reported in net income.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost.
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Amortization is provided annually at rates calculated to
write off the assets over their estimated useful lives as follows, except in the year of acquisition when one
half of the rate is used.

Nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments

Our maximum credit risk for Year was $80,105 (Prior $60,585), which is the total of our cash on deposit,
investments, loan receivable, and accounts receivable at the respective year ends. This is a very unlikely,
worst case scenario that assumes that all creditors default on their obligations and that we are unable to
recover any funds through legal action or other collection activity.
Companys management has determined that, in light of the straight-forward nature of our operations, and
the policies to manage risk that are in place, our exposure to these various risks is not significant.
Accordingly, we have not provided the supplemental disclosure that would otherwise be required by virtue
of CICA Part II 3856.53-.54.

We have reviewed the balance sheet of Sample Manufacturing Review Ltd. as at [Month, Day, Year] and the
statements of income, retained earnings, and cash flow for the year then ended. Our review was made in
accordance with Canadian generally accepted standards for review engagements and, accordingly, consisted
primarily of enquiry, analytical procedures, and discussion related to information supplied to us by the
company.
A review does not constitute an audit, and consequently, we do not express an audit opinion on these financial
statements.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that these financial statements
are not, in all material respects, in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises.

The Company is exposed to financial risk that arises from the fluctuation in interest rates and in the credit
quality of its customers.
Interest rate risk is minimized through managements constant review of demand and maturing debt. The
Company structures its finances so as to stagger the maturities of debt, thereby minimizing exposure to
interest rate fluctuations.
Credit risk exists in that a significant majority of the Companys receivables is held by one department
franchise and is concentrated in the retail industry. The Company mitigates this risk through
diversification of its customer base, limiting its exposure to any one customer and maintaining strict
collection procedures.
The Companys maximum credit risk for Year was $1,467 (Prior $1,409) which is the total of the
Companys cash on deposit and accounts receivable at the respective year ends.
The Companys management has determined that, in light of the straightforward nature of its operations,
and the policies to manage risk that are in place, the Companys exposure to these various risks is not
significant. Accordingly, the supplemental disclosure that would otherwise be required by virtue of CICA
Part II 3856.53-.54 has not been provided.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

To the Shareholders of Sample Audit Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Sample Audit Inc. and its subsidiaries,
which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at [Month, Day, Year], and the statements of consolidated
income, retained earnings, and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.
Managements Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements
in accordance with Part II of the CICA Handbook Accounting, and for such internal control as management
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards
require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys
preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Sample Audit Inc. and its subsidiaries as at [Month, Day, Year], and their financial performance
and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private
enterprise.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Month, Day, Year
The Company was incorporated under the laws of Canada on [Month, Day, Year]. Its main business activities
are the development of software and the processing of non-marketable lumber into woodchips.
Private Enterprises of the CICA Handbook Accounting issued by the Accounting Standards Board
(AcSB).
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the company and all its
subsidiaries. On consolidation, all intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Investments in entities subject to significant influence are accounted for using the equity method.
Cash equivalents include demand deposits with banks and highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less.
Foreign currency translation of foreign operations
Foreign monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars at the rates of exchange in
effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items are translated at historical rates unless they are
carried at market in which case the rates at the balance sheet date are used. Revenue and expense items
are translated using the rate in effect on the date of the transaction, except for amortization, which is
translated at the same rate as the asset to which it applies.
Hedging instruments
When hedge accounting is not used, derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value on the
consolidated balance sheet. Fair value is determined by referencing quoted market prices. The change in
the value of derivatives and hedged items is recorded in the consolidated income statement in the period in
which they arise.
When hedge accounting is used for hedges of anticipated transactions, the anticipated transaction is
initially recognized at fair value; however, the forward contract is not recognized until maturity. The gain
or loss on the maturing contract is recorded as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item.
When hedge accounting is used for hedges of interest bearing assets or liabilities, interest on the hedged
item is recognized using the effective rate method; gains or losses on the interest rate swap are recognized
as an adjustment to interest on the hedged item in the period in which they arise.
Inventory
Raw materials, supplies, work in process and finished goods are valued at the lower of average cost and
net realizable value.
Sample Audit Inc.

Month, Day, Year
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd)
Investments
Investments in equity securities quoted in an active market are reported at fair value.
Investment in equity securities for which a quoted price in an active market is no longer available are
reported at cost less impairment, if any.
Investments in debt securities are reported at amortized cost less impairment, if any.
Transaction costs on financial assets are reported in two ways: i) if they are measured at fair value, they
are expensed when incurred; ii) if they are measured at amortized cost, they are capitalized.
Income from financial assets measured at fair value and gains and losses, whether realized or unrealized,
are reported in net income.
Income from financial assets measured at amortized cost and realized gains and losses are reported in net
income. Impairment losses are reported in net income.
Investments in companies subject to significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. A
proportionate share of their income or loss is reported in net income.

income tax assets or liabilities are calculated using tax rates anticipated to be in effect in the periods that
the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in income tax rates on future
income tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that the change occurs.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that cost may not
be recoverable. Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset is greater than the undiscounted
future cash flows expected to be provided by the asset. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is the
excess of the carrying value over its fair value.
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles for private enterprises requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period.
Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates are: useful lives of plant and equipment,
impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, employee future benefits, and income taxes. Actual results
could differ from those estimated.

9. GOODWILL
Goodwill representing the excess of the cost of net identifiable assets of subsidiaries over their fair value
as of the date of acquisition. Impairment tests are conducted when there has been an event or change in
circumstances that cause us to believe that the value of this asset is impaired. On Month, Day, Year, a test
for impairment was conducted. The increasing availability of satellite technology in rural service areas,
Sample Audit Inc.s market, and restrictions on mineral extraction, have led to reduced demand and
increasing production costs for after-market software. Quarterly profits in this segment declined
throughout the year; this trend is expected to continue. The impairment test confirmed that an impairment
loss of $xx had occurred.

not required to contribute to the plan. The plan provides increasing pension benefits to protect against inflation. The
Company is responsible for adequately funding the pension plan. There have not been any significant changes in the
contractual elements of the pension plan in the year under review. Contributions are made based on various actuarial
cost methods that are permitted by pension regulatory bodies. Contributions reflect actuarial assumptions about
future investment returns, salary projections, and future service benefits.

21. CORRECTION OF ERROR

Income tax expense was incorrectly calculated in Prior. The financial statements of Prior have been
restated to correct this error. The effect of the restatement is that the balance of retained earnings at the
beginning of Year has been reduced by $xxxx, which is the amount by which income taxes as at that date
have been increased. There is no effect on this years income.
22. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY
Effective the beginning of Year, the Company changed its accounting policy for the treatment of
borrowing costs related to a plant under construction for use by the Company. Previously, the Company
capitalized such costs. They are now written off as expenses as incurred. Management judges that this
policy provides reliable and more relevant information because it results in a more transparent treatment of
finance costs and is consistent with local industry practice, making the Companys financial statements
more comparable. This change in accounting policy has been accounted for retrospectively, and the
comparative statements for Prior have been restated. The effect of the change on Prior is tabulated below.
Opening retained earnings for Prior have been reduced by $xxx, which is the amount of the adjustment
relating to periods before Prior.

The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks that arise from owning financial instruments. These
risks include credit risk; currency risk; interest rate risk; liquidity risk; market risk; and other price risks as
described below. Unless otherwise noted, it is managements opinion that the Company is not exposed to
material credit, currency, interest, liquidity, market, or other price risks arising from these financial
instruments.
The Companys objectives towards managing risk arising from financial instruments is to minimize it to
the greatest extent possible giving due consideration for cost benefit considerations. A general description
of the processes used follows. The Companys objectives, policies, and processes, for managing and
measuring the various risks arising from the financial instruments have not changed from the previous
period.

25. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (contd)
Credit risk (default risk) is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for
the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company mitigates credit risk on its receivables
through diversification of its customer base and limiting its exposure to any one customer. The Company
minimizes its credit exposure on derivative contracts by entering into transactions only with counterparties
that are major investment-grade international financial institutions.
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The company manages this risk through the use of
derivative financial instruments.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates. For liabilities, interest rate risk is minimized through
managements constant review of demand and maturing debt. The Company structures its finances so as to
stagger the maturities of debt, thereby minimizing exposure to interest rate fluctuations. For assets, this
risk is reduced by diversifying the durations of the fixed-income investments that are held at a given time.
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with
financial liabilities. The Company obviates liquidity risk by closely monitoring its working capital
position, ensuring sufficient cash, cash equivalents, or readily marketable securities, are available to meet
all liabilities when due.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate
risk, and other price risk. The Company manages these individual risks as described elsewhere in this
section.
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk),
whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or
factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Company manages other price
risk through asset allocation and maintaining a portfolio that is well diversified on both a geographic and
industry sector basis.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are financial contracts that derive their value from underlying changes in
interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, or other financial measures. Such instruments
include interest rate, foreign exchange, and commodity contracts. The Company uses these instruments to
manage the risks associated with its funding and investing strategies or for trading purposes. The notional
and carrying amount of derivatives held by the Company are as follows:

Hedge accounting
The Company has entered into a forward contract to purchase US$xxx,xxx on Month, Day, Year at a rate
of C$x.xx per US$x.xx. This forward contract was entered into to hedge the payment of a payable related
to the purchase of inventory due on the same date. This transaction has been designated as a hedge of an
anticipated transaction to which hedge accounting will be applied. The net effect will be that the cost of
the inventory will be recorded at C$xxx,xxx.

The maximum credit risk assumes an extremely unlikely worst case scenario where all customers
defaulted on their contractual obligations and the Company was unable to recover any monies through
legal action or other collection methods.
The credit quality of our financial assets is considered to be excellent. As previously discussed, the
Company mitigates credit risk on its receivables through diversification of its customer base and limiting
its exposure to any one customer. The Company minimizes its credit exposure on derivative contracts by
entering into transactions only with counterparties that are major investment-grade international financial
institutions. The Company restricts investments in debt instruments to those whose credit are
independently rated to be of Investment Grade.

Value at risk is a technique that uses the statistical analysis of historical market trends and volatilities to
estimate the likelihood that losses to the Companys portfolio will exceed a certain amount. This
measurement captures the interdependency of the three components of market risk: currency risk, interest
rate risk, and other price risk.
The use of this method assumes that historical results can be used to forecast future outcomes within a
range of possibilities. The primary limitation of this method is that catastrophic events that cannot be
reasonably predicted, such as 9/11, may result in an actual drop in value greater than the forecast
maximum.
26. INCOME TAXES
The note that follows is based on the company electing to use the taxes payable method of reporting
income taxes. See Note 1 for an example of the supplemental disclosure required if the company elects to
use the future income taxes method.
