SEVENTH REPORT
Your Committee has approved the Financial Statements of the Senate of Canada for the year ended March 31, 2010. The audit was conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards by the professional services firm of KPMG.
The audit resulted in an unqualified auditor's report indicating that the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Senate of Canada as at March 31, 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for the public sector.
The tabling of these financial statements in the Senate fulfills the requirement for the Clerk to lay before the Senate annually a statement of accounts of the Senate as provided in Chapter 3:05 subsection 5(1) of the Senate Administration Rules.
Respectfully submitted,
