John Manley, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, has received the report of the Auditor General of Canada on accounting practices at the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA).

The report was prepared in response to a request by the Department of Finance following the January 29, 2002, announcement that the CCRA had identified a problem in tax accounting resulting in overpayments to some provinces under the Tax Collection Agreements.

The Department of Finance requested that the Auditor General determine whether there are other CCRA accounting practices that have resulted or could result in material errors in the amounts paid to provinces.

Copies of the report may be accessed on the Department of Finance Web site at www.fin.gc.ca and printed copies are available upon request.
