Government Finance Statistics: Conceptual Adjustments

Differences exist between CSNA (Canadian System of National Accounts) and pure GFS (Government Finance Statistics) statistics. Government CSNA data, as noted above, originate from public accounts information. This information is adapted to the CSNA framework and is incorporated into products such as the Income and Expenditure Accounts, Financial Flows, National Balance Sheet and Input-Output tables. Finally, a mapping between the CSNA and GFS is performed to arrive at those quarterly estimates. In the mapping to GFS certain conceptual adjustments are made to the CSNA data (it should be noted that once the GFS is implemented, the data will be consistent with the Canadian System of National Accounts and the conceptual differences between the two sets of data will disappear).

  1. The GFS framework requires that revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities of non-autonomous public sector pension plans at the federal (Central) and provincial (State) government levels be included in the GFS Statement of Operations and the GFS Balance sheet. For the CSNA-mapped GFS quarterly data, these pension plans incomes and expenses are not included. In the CSNA, these pension plans’ liabilities are treated as liabilities of the government sector and are assets of the household sector while incomes and expenses of these pension plans are captured in the household sector accounts.
  2. The GFS framework requires the elimination of all inter and intra-government transactions between components of government in order to avoid double-counting. These revenue and expense transactions include transfers, interest flows, taxes paid and received, and purchases and sales of goods and services. In the CSNA, all inter and intra-governmental transfers are eliminated in calculating total government sector income and outlay. Also, transactions (interest flows, taxes paid and received, purchases and sales of goods and services and transfers) between budgetary operations (departments/ministries) and special funds are being eliminated. The new quarterly GFS submission reflects this CSNA presentation. Interest flows, taxes paid and received purchases and sales of goods and services between governments are not eliminated in calculating total government sector income and outlay as the necessary information, especially on a quarterly basis, is not available.
  3. For the financial flows and balance sheet, the elimination of inter and intra-governmental transactions is not performed in the CSNA except for transactions between budgetary operations and special funds. For this quarterly GFS data, inter and intra-governmental transactions (for total government) are eliminated for Treasury Bills and bonds only. As a result, the GFS series will differ from the corresponding series within the CSNA.
  4. In the CSNA balance sheet, the valuation of residential and non-residential structures and machinery and equipment are depreciated at replacement cost. Inventory estimates are the accumulation of the value of physical change estimates for the federal (Central) government in the income and outlay accounts (the CSNA does not currently calculate value of physical change for other government sub-sectors). Land estimates are derived using land to structure ratios.
  5. The CSNA mapped GFS balance sheet data is on a market value basis. Book value and market value estimates of financial assets and liabilities are the same except for bonds, shares and foreign investment. Market value estimates of these categories are derived using market to book factors obtained from various sources. The market valuation basis is also used in the CSNA annual financial accounts submissions to the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) .
  6. For most financial categories of the balance sheet, the change in balance sheet values between two periods will not be equal to the estimates of financial flows for the period. The measure of this difference is due to many factors including foreign currency changes and market revaluations, allowances and write-offs, and additional data information. These are referred to as other economic flows and as noted above the CSNA does not currently compile an other change in assets account.

Government Finance Statistics: Nomenclature

The GFS framework requires that data be produced for all levels of government as well as consolidated general government category. The CSNA-mapped quarterly GFS data is produced for the federal, provincial, territorial and local levels of government as well as the Canada Pension Plan and Quebec Pension Plan. These categories correspond to the following GFS nomenclature:

Levels of Government
GFS CSNA
Central government Federal government (F)
State government Provincial/Territorial government (P)
Local government Local government (L)
Social security Canada and Quebec Pension Plans (SS)
General government ΣF+P+L+SS less inter-sector transactions

Government Finance Statistics: Description of the Four Financial Statements

The core of the GFS analytic framework is a set of four financial statements. These are (1) the Statement of Government Operations; (2) the Statement of Other Economic Flows; and (3) the Balance Sheet. In addition, the framework includes a Statement of Sources and Uses of Cash to provide key information on liquidity. Each of these statements is described below:

  1. The Statement of Government Operations summarizes all transactions and derives important analytic balances from this information. Revenue minus expense equals the net operating balance, which is a summary measure of the effect of the government’s transactions on net worth. The subsequent deduction of the net acquisition of nonfinancial assets from the net operating balance produces a balance called net lending/borrowing, which measures the extent to which government either provides financial resources to the other sectors of the economy and the rest of the world (net lending) or uses financial resources generated by the other sectors (net borrowing). Net lending/borrowing is also equal to the government financing requirement derived as the net of transactions in financial assets and liabilities. It is a measure of the financial impact of government activity on the rest of the economy.
  2. The Statement of Other Economic Flows presents information on changes in net worth that arise from flows other than transactions. These flows are classified as either changes in the value (revaluations, or holding gains or losses) or the volume of assets and liabilities. The balancing item of this statement is the change in net worth resulting from other economic flows.
  3. The Balance Sheet presents the stocks of assets, liabilities, and net worth at the end of the accounting period. The government’s net worth is defined as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. Another balancing item that can be derived from the Balance Sheet is net financial worth, which is defined as total financial assets minus total liabilities.
  4. The Statement of Sources and Uses of Cash shows the amounts of cash generated and used in current operations, transactions in nonfinancial assets, and transactions involving financial assets and liabilities, excluding cash itself. The balancing item, net change in the stock of cash, is the sum of the net cash received from these three sources of cash flows.

At this time, the CSNA-mapped quarterly GFS (Government Finance Statistics) data includes estimates of the Statement of Government Operations and the Balance Sheet. The Canadian System of National Accounts does not publish a revaluation and other changes in assets account and therefore a mapping to the GFS Statement of Other Economic Flows could not be developed. Data for the Statement of Sources and Uses of Cash will be developed at a later date.

The statistics produced from the survey enable those active in the agricultural sector to observe and assess changes in the industry, measure performance and keep the agricultural community and general public informed of developments. The questions in Section I (Cattle and Calves Supplementary) are sponsored by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, to aid in the analysis of the cattle sector since bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE).

Statistics Canada is collecting information concerning the farm described on the label. If the operators of this holding manage any other farm(s) entirely separate from this farm ( i.e. , separate accounting books are kept), please do not include any data for the other farm(s) on this questionnaire.
