Note: as of 15 Feb 2024, this dataset has been archived and will no longer be updated. A new dataset Losses of public money or property as per the Public Accounts of Canada has been created, combining the data for all losses of public money or public property into one bilingual CSV file. This new combined losses dataset contains all existing data from the previously separated losses files, and will continue to be updated on an annual basis in conjunction with the publication of the Public Accounts of Canada.
At the end of each fiscal year, government-wide financial information is published in the Public Accounts. This dataset, based on the Volume 3 of the Public Accounts, presents (in dollars), by ministry, details for Losses of public property due to an offence or other illegal act and Losses of public property due to accidental loss, destruction or damage that were discovered or detected during the reporting fiscal years. Information on losses of public money and property is required under the Treasury Board directive on losses of money or property.
This dataset is from the Public Accounts of Canada and is not the official record of information. The official version of record can be found on the Receiver General website for the most recent fiscal year and the Library and Archives website for historical years.
