In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity s 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 entity s 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 financial statements.

9 Notes to the onsolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended December31, Significant accounting policies The consolidated financial statements of the Town of Fort Erie (the Municipality) are prepared by management in accordance with anadian public sector accounting standards. Significant aspects of the accounting policies adopted by the Municipality are as follows: (a) Reporting entity The consolidated financial statements reflect the financial assets, liabilities, non-financial assets, revenues, expenses and changes in accumulated surplus of the reporting entity. The reporting entity is comprised of all committees, organizations and enterprises accountable for the administration of their affairs and resources to the Municipality and which are owned or controlled by the Municipality. In addition to general government taxsupported operations, they include the following: Public Library Board Bridgeburg Business Improvement Area rystal Beach Business Improvement Area Ridgeway Business Improvement Area ommunity Gaming Development orporation Interdepartmental and organizational transactions and balances are eliminated. The statements exclude trust assets and activities that are administered for the benefit of external parties (Note 16). (b) Basis of accounting Sources of revenue and expenses are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. The accrual basis of accounting records revenues in the period they are earned and measurable and expenses in the period the goods and services are acquired and a liability is incurred. (c) Region and school board transactions The taxation, other revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities with respect to the operations of the school boards and the Region of Niagara are not reflected in the accumulated surplus of these consolidated financial statements. (d) Investments Investments are carried at cost. 7

10 Notes to the onsolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended December 31,21 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) (e) Deferred revenue Receipts that are restricted by legislation of senior governments or by agreement with external parties are deferred and reported as restricted revenues. When qualifying expenditures are incurred, restricted revenues are brought into revenue. Revenues received in advance of expenditures that will be incurred in a later period are deferred until they are earned by being matched against those expenses. (1) Reserves for future expenses ertain amounts, as approved by Municipal ouncil, are set aside in reserves and reserve funds for future operating and capital expenditures. (g) (h) Subdivision infrastructure Subdivision streets, lighting, sidewalks, drainage and other infrastructure are required to be provided by subdivision developers. Upon completion they are turned over to the Municipality and recorded as tangible capital assets. The Municipality is not involved in the construction. Local improvements The Municipality records capital expenses funded by local improvement agreements as they are incurred and revenues are recognized in the year they become payable. (i) (j) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with anadian public sector accounting standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Tangible capital assets Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost. ost includes all directly attributable expenses in the acquisition, construction, development and/or betterment of the asset required to install the asset at the location and in the condition necessary for its intended use. ontributed tangible capital assets are capitalized at their estimated fair value upon acquisition. The Municipality does not capitalize interest as part of the costs of its capital assets. Works of art for display in municipal property are not included as capital assets. The works of art are held for exhibition, educational and historical interest. Such assets are deemed worthy of preservation because of the social rather than financial benefits they provide to the community. The cost of art is not determinable or relevant to their significance. No valuation of the collection has been conducted or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. 8

11 Notes to the onsolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended December 31,21 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) (j) Tangible capital assets (continued) Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis to write-off the net cost of each asset over its estimated useful life for all classes except land. Land is considered to have an infinite life without amortization. Residual values of assets are assumed to be zero with any net gain or loss arising from the disposal of assets recognized in the statement of operations as other revenue. Amortization is based on six months for the year of acquisition regardless of the month purchased and annually thereafter until the asset is fully depreciated, disposed of or replaced. Assets under construction are not amortized until the asset is available for productive use. Amortization is based on the following classifications and useful lives: lassification General land improvements General buildings General vehicles General machinery and equipment Infrastructure land improvements Infrastructure buildings Infrastructure linear Infrastructure machinery and equipment Useful Life 1-75 years 15-5 years 1-2 years 3-2 years 2-9 years 3 years 1-1 years 6-75 years (k) Budget figures The budget for 21 is reflected on the consolidated statement of operations. These figures include amortization that was presented but not approved with the 21 budget. 2. Prior period adjustment In 21 management became aware that gas tax grant revenues in the amount of $ 424,213 were recorded in error for the year ended December 31, 29. Each year the Municipality receives a gas tax grant from the Federal government. Due to the stipulations on the use attached to these funds, the inclusion in revenue is linked to the satisfaction of the stipulations. As at December 31, 29, $ 1,219,323 of the funds were to be accounted as deferred revenue as the stipulations had not been satisfied for the reporting of revenue. The correction of this error has been presented by retrospectively restating the comparative figures as follows: Increase (decrease) Deferred revenue $ 424,213 apital grant revenue (424,213) Annual surplus (424,213) Accumulated surplus 424,213 9

29 Trust Funds Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended December 31, Significant accounting policies The financial statements of the trust funds of the Town of Fort Erie are the representation of management prepared in accordance with accounting policies prescribed for Ontario municipalities by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. Since precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of periodic financial statements necessarily involves the use of estimates and approximations. These have been made using careful judgements. (a) Basis of accounting (i) Sources of revenue and expenses are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. (ii) The accrual basis of accounting recognizes revenues as they become available and measurable; expenses are recognized as they are incurred and measurable. (b) Investments Investments are recorded at cost. 2. Investments The total for investments by the trust funds of $ 428,5 (29 $ 428,38) are reported on the Statement of Financial Position at cost, which is approximately equal to market value. 3. Long term receivables The Ontario Home Renewal Program was established by the Ontario Ministry of Housing in 1973 to provide grants for municipalities to make loans to assist owner occupants to repair, rehabilitate and improve their homes to local property standards. Individual loans are limited to $ 7,5 of which the maximum forgivable portion is $4,. Ontario Home Renewal Program loans receivable at December 31, 21 comprise repayable loans of $ 3,278 (29 $ 3,278) and forgivable loans of $ Nil (29 $ Nil). Loan forgiveness is earned and recorded at a rate of up to $6 per year of continued ownership and occupancy. In the event of the sale or lease of the home or in the event of the homeowner ceasing to occupy the home, the balances of the repayable loan and the unearned forgivable loan immediately become due and payable by the homeowner. 27

35 Business Improvement Areas Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended December31, Significant accounting policies The financial statements of the Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) are prepared by management in accordance with anadian public sector accounting standards. Significant aspects of the accounting policies adopted by the Municipality are as follows: (a) Basis of accounting The basis of accounting followed in the financial statement presentation includes revenues in the period in which the transactions or events occurred that gave rise to the revenues and expenses in the period the goods and services are acquired and a liability is incurred or transfers are due. (b) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with anadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (c) Tangible capital assets Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost. ost includes all directly attributable expenses in the acquisition, construction, development and/or betterment of the asset required to install the asset at the location and in the condition necessary for its intended use. ontributed tangible capital assets are capitalized at their estimated fair value upon acquisition. The BIAs do not capitalize interest as part of the costs of its capital assets. Works of art for display in municipal property are not included as capital assets. The works of art are held for exhibition, educational and historical interest. Such assets are deemed worthy of preservation because of the social rather than financial benefits they provide to the community. The cost of art is not determinable or relevant to their significance. No valuation of the collection has been conducted or disclosed in the financial statements. Leases are classified as capital or operating leases. Leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits incidental to ownership are accounted for as capital leases. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases and the related lease payments are charged to expenses as incurred. 33

36 Business Improvement Areas Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended December 31,21 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) (c) Tangible capital assets (continued) Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis to write-off the net cost of each asset over its estimated useful life for all classes except land. Land is considered to have an infinite life without amortization. Residual values of assets are assumed to be zero with any net gain or loss arising from the disposal of assets recognized in the statement of operations as other revenue. Amortization is based on six months for the year of acquisition regardless of the month purchased and annually thereafter until the asset is fully depreciated, disposed of or replaced. The BIAs currently do not own any tangible capital assets. 2. Statement of cash flow A statement of cash flow has not been presented, as management believes it would not provide additional meaningful information.
