<p>The <em>Public Accounts of Canada</em> is the report of the Government of Canada prepared annually by the Receiver General, as required by section&nbsp;64 of the <em>Financial Administration Act</em>. It covers the fiscal year of the Government, which ends on March&nbsp;31.</p>

<p>The information contained in the report originates from two sources of data:</p>
<ul>
	<li>the summarized financial transactions presented in the Accounts of Canada, maintained by the Receiver General; and</li>
	<li>the detailed records, maintained by departments and agencies. </li>
</ul>
<p>Each department and agency is responsible for reconciling its accounts to the control accounts of the Receiver General, and for maintaining detailed records of the transactions in their accounts.</p>
