Origin
Summary
On an annual basis, the City of Toronto receives the audited financial statements from 10 Association of Community Centres. The audited financial statements assist the City to determine whether additional operating subsidy payments need to be provided to or clawed back from the Association of Community Centres to settle their operating deficits or surpluses. The audited financial statements are based on the Public Sector Accounting Board requirements for government not-for-profit entities while the operating deficits or surpluses align with the modified cash basis of accounting.
This report recommends settlement with the Association of Community Centres for 2021 based on their audited financial results as of December 31, 2021.
While normally the prior year end settlement reports for both Association of Community Centres and Arena Boards are submitted together to Council in the following year, the 2021 settlement reports were delayed due to delays in completing the 2021 audits. City staff will present the 2022 Settlement Reports at the first opportunity to the City Council for consideration and approval.
