3. Parliamentary appropriations

The Agency receives most of its funding through annual Parliamentary appropriations. Items recognized in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Financial Position in one year may be funded through Parliamentary appropriations in prior, current, or future years. Accordingly, the Agency has different net results of operations for the year on a government funding basis than on an accrual accounting basis. These differences are reconciled below.
