Financial Statements of
UNITED WAY/CENTRAIDE OTTAWA
Year ended March 31, 2012
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the members of the Board of Directors
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of United Way/Centraide Ottawa, which
comprise the statement of financial position as at March 31, 2012, and the statements of operations,
changes in net assets and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, and for such internal control as
management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those
standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
United Way/Centraide Ottawa as at March 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Supplementary Financial Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements of
United Way/Centraide Ottawa taken as a whole. The supplementary information included in
Schedules 1-6 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements. Such supplementary information has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements
Year ended March 31, 2012
1. Significant accounting policies:
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles and include the following significant accounting policies:
(a) Revenue recognition:
United Way/Centraide Ottawa follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions for
not-for-profit organizations.
Support from the general public consists of pledges and donations relating to the current
year’s campaign. Pledges receivable are recorded at an estimated realizable value at the
time of pledge commitment by individuals and organizations. Funds raised during a
campaign, net of related campaign expenses and provisions are used to provide funds for
funded programs, other Canadian registered charities and operations in the following fiscal
year.
Pledges and donations received by the United Way/Centraide Ottawa that are undesignated
or are directed from/to an impact area by the donor are recognized as revenue in the year
that they are received or pledged. Pledges and donations received by the United
Way/Centraide Ottawa that are designated by the donor to funded agencies, charities and
other United Ways/Centraides are considered to be restricted by purpose, and are recorded
as deferred designated campaign revenue and are recognized as revenue in the year the
amount is paid to the designated organization.
Investment revenue earned on restricted endowed investments is recognized as revenue
when the related expenditure is incurred.
Investment revenue earned on unrestricted
investments is recognized in the current year.
Contributions to endowment are recorded as direct increases to the endowment net asset
balance.
(b) Expense recognition:
Program, fundraising and resource development expenses are recognized in the period
incurred.
Allocations and designations expenses are recognized in the period paid or in the period that
the annual allocation is approved by the Board and the recipient agencies are notified.

1. Significant accounting policies (continued):
(c) Financial instruments:
i)
Available-for-sale
Cash, pledges receivable and accounts receivable have been classified as available-forsale. They are initially recognized at fair value. At each subsequent balance sheet date,
they are held at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value being
recognized in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets in the period where the variations
occurred, when they have a quoted market price in an active market. Transactions costs,
if applicable, are netted against the amount initially recognized.
ii)
Held-for-trading
Investments consist of broker accounts, fixed income securities, preferred shares and
common shares. Investments are designated as held-for-trading and are recorded at fair
value. Fair value is determined at quoted market values. Sales and purchases of
investments are recorded on the settlement date. Transaction costs related to the
acquisition of investments are expensed.
iii) Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other longterm liability. These liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently
carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Transactions costs, if
applicable, are netted against the amount initially recognized.
(d) Capital assets:
Capital assets are stated at cost net of accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on
a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Capital asset
Useful life
Computer software
Computer hardware
Furniture and fixtures
Leasehold improvements
3 years
4 years
5 to 15 years
Over term of lease
(e) Deferred revenue:
Grants and other amounts received for a specified purpose are recognized as revenue in the
year in which the related expenses are incurred.
(f) Deferred lease inducement:
The deferred lease inducement is amortized over the term of the lease.

1. Significant accounting policies (continued):
(g) Allocation of general management and administration expenses:
United Way/Centraide Ottawa classifies expenses on the Statement of Operations by
function. The functions reported are Fundraising, Resource Development and Programs.
General and administrative expenses are allocated proportionally on the basis of level of
effort attributed to each function for the reported year. In previous years, the allocation was
based on employee headcount (note 17).
(h) Funded program surpluses:
United Way/Centraide Ottawa’s general policy is to recover funded program surpluses
subject to the guidelines of fiscal relationships with funded programs. These transactions are
recorded in the statement of operations in the year that such recoveries are made.
(i) Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These
estimates are reviewed annually and as adjustments become necessary, they are recorded in
the financial statements in the period in which they become known.
Significant management estimates include the provision for uncollectible pledges.
(j) Donated services:
No amounts have been reflected in the financial statements for donated services, since no
objective basis is available to measure the value of such services. Nevertheless, a
substantial number of volunteers have donated significant amounts of their time in United
Way/Centraide Ottawa programs, services and fundraising campaigns.
2. Description and objectives:
United Way/Centraide Ottawa is a non-profit Ontario corporation and a registered charity. United
Way/Centraide brings people together from all parts of our community to identify, develop and
provide solutions to community needs, helping to ensure that the donations received will go
where they are needed most and where they will have the greatest impact.

3. New Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective, and that
have a potential implication for the Organization are as follows:
a) Accounting Standards for Not-for-Profit Organizations
In December 2010, the Accounting Standards Board issued new standards for not-for-profit
organizations. For non-government (private sector) NPOs, they have a choice of International
Financial Reporting Standards or Accounting Standards for NPOs, which are essentially the
Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises with the current 4400 series of NPO specific
standards added with some minor changes. The “Board” requires NPOs to adopt their
standards for year ends beginning on or after January 1, 2012; early adoption is allowed.
Until the date of transition to the new standards, all NPOs will continue to follow the current
CICA Handbook – Accounting Part V – Pre-Changeover Standards.
United Way/Centraide Ottawa has elected to adopt Accounting Standards for Private
Enterprises with the 4400 series for NPOs effective April 1, 2012.
4. Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign (GCWCC):
United Way/Centraide Ottawa co-manages, with Centraide Outaouais, the national and local
Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign (“GCWCC”). The GCWCC is mandated
by Treasury Board and runs in all 101 departments and agencies with the named beneficiaries:
United Way and Heath Partners. Designations to other registered Canadian charities are
distributed by the recipients.
United Way/Centraide Ottawa expends resources of the organization on behalf of all participants
of GCWCC across Canada. The Organization then recovers expenses from all participating
United Ways/Centraides and Healthpartners on a pro rata basis of total GCWCC revenues in the
following year. As a result, the Organization is owed funds from all participating United
Ways/Centraides and Healthpartners at any time. Under an agreement with the participants,
United Way/Centraide Ottawa holds a $750,000 (2011 - $750,000) advance to offset the time lag
between expenditures on behalf of the GCWCC and recovery of these expenditures.
United Way/Centraide Ottawa holds in trust donation payments deposited by the Government of
Canada in central bank accounts and distributed each month to appropriate recipients. The
balance in these accounts at March 31, 2012 is $5,208,983 (2011 - $2,318,189).

The land and building held for sale was disposed of during the year for proceeds of $1,976,224
resulting in a loss of $86,003. This loss has been recorded as other administrative expenses.
11. Capital disclosures:
United Way/Centraide Ottawa considers its capital to consist of its net assets. The Board of
Directors has established the following net asset policies:
(a) Unrestricted:
The unrestricted net assets are maintained to fund the ensuing year’s operating expenses
and allocations to funded agencies. The Board has put aside $8,970,790 and an additional
$685,000 in transition funding for allocations to agencies in 2012-13.

UNITED WAY/CENTRAIDE OTTAWA
Notes to Financial Statements, page 8
Year ended March 31, 2012
11. Capital disclosures (continued):
(b) Internally restricted for community services:
The internally restricted fund for community services represents net assets designated by
United Way/Centraide Ottawa for provision of community services or investment in
community service providers. In the year, $76,090 was transferred to unrestricted net assets
to fund programs and community initiatives.
Testamentary gifts received without express direction from a donor/testator and for which the
intent cannot be reasonably determined to be of an endowed nature, will be directed to the
Community Services Cabinet of United Way/Centraide Ottawa for allocation as one-time
funding through an Impact Initiatives Fund. The first $100,000 will be internally restricted for
this purpose and the remainder internally restricted to the Legacy Fund.
(c) Endowment:
Endowment net assets represent contributions received from estate bequests, individuals,
organizations or groups, which have been endowed by the donor or by the policies approved
by the Board, as described in note 12.
United Way/Centraide Ottawa is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements, with the
exception of the restrictions with respect to endowments disclosed in note 12. United
Way/Centraide Ottawa’s overall strategy with respect to capital remains unchanged for the year
ended March 31, 2012.
12. Endowment net assets of United Way/Centraide Ottawa:
Endowment Funds are established through external donations and bequests, and through Board
policy. A gift is considered endowed only if express direction is given by the donor or estate that
the gift be held by the charity and only interest earned on the principal may be distributed for
charitable purposes. Testamentary gifts amounting to $691,457 that were not restricted for a
specific purpose and not expressly endowed but were included in the Endowment Fund, were
reclassified this year as unrestricted assets to more appropriately reflect the nature of these gifts.
Named Funds are established through donations and bequests. Under the terms of the Named
Funds agreement, principal amounts are retained and invested by United Way/Centraide Ottawa.
Investment revenue earned on the principal balance of the Named Fund is restricted and
accumulated until the principal balance of the Named Fund reaches $10,000. After the threshold
is reached, the investment revenue earned on the principal amount may be directed to a program
or a registered charity of the donor’s choice.
Restricted Endowment represents funds contributed for which the related investment revenue is
restricted for a specific purpose. General Endowment represents funds contributed for which the
related investment revenue was not restricted by the donor or testator for a specific purpose.

14. Contingency and guarantee:
(a) Contingency:
In the normal course of operations, United Way/Centraide Ottawa signs agreements whereby
funds provided to United Way/Centraide Ottawa, for the execution of projects, are subject to
restrictions as to the use of the funds. The sponsors of these projects can execute an audit
of the financial records of United Way/Centraide Ottawa to ensure compliance with the
project requirements. In the event that amounts to be reimbursed to the sponsor are
identified, the necessary adjustments will be recognized in the year they are identified.
(b) Guarantee:
In the normal course of business, United Way/Centraide Ottawa has entered into a lease
agreement for premises. It is common in such commercial lease transactions for United
Way/Centraide Ottawa as the lessee to agree to indemnify the lessor and other related third
parties for liabilities that may arise from the use of the leased assets. The maximum amount
potentially payable under the foregoing indemnities cannot be reasonably estimated. United
Way/Centraide Ottawa has liability insurance that relates to the indemnifications described
above.

15. Pension plan:
The United Way/Centraide Ottawa participates in the Ottawa-Carleton Community Agencies
Pension Plan. This multi-employer defined benefit pension plan covers employees of the United
Way/Centraide Ottawa and the employees of the other participating agencies. After two years of
employment, the United Way/Centraide Ottawa contributes 160% (2011 - 130%) of the
employees’ contribution to the pension plan. The plan provides pensions based on length of
service and final average earnings. The annual funding requirements are determined in
consultation with the actuaries to provide long-term stability to the plan. During the year, United
Way/Centraide Ottawa contributed and expensed $348,014 to the plan (2011 - $281,024).
Prior to participation in the pension plan, United Way/Centraide Ottawa offers its employees an
optional Group Registered Retirement Savings Plan. United Way/Centraide Ottawa matches
eligible employees’ contributions to the plan up to 5% of the employee’s annual salary. After two
years of employment, United Way/Centraide Ottawa no longer matches these contributions.
16. Financial instruments:
(a) Fair value:
The carrying value of cash, pledges receivable, accounts receivable and accounts payable
and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value due to the relatively short periods to
maturity of the instruments.
(b) Credit risk:
United Way/Centraide Ottawa is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to the financial instruments. Credit exposure for accounts
receivable is minimized by dealing with only credit worthy counterparties. The provision for
pledge loss on pledges receivable is presented on the statement of operations.
(c) Interest rate risk:
United Way/Centraide Ottawa has interest-bearing investments on which general interest rate
fluctuations apply.
(d) Foreign exchange risk:
The organization is exposed to currency risk as they hold foreign investments. Currency risk
is the risk to the organization's excess of revenues over expenses that arises from
fluctuations of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The
percentage of foreign investments as of March 31, 2012 was 3.85% of the overall portfolio.
The organization does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign
currency risk.

17. Change in accounting policy for the allocation of general management and administration
expenses:
United Way/Centraide Ottawa refined the methodology used to allocate general management and
administration expenses to the functional activities of the organization. In 2010-11 100% of the
costs associated with Corporate Services and Communications and Marketing were included in
the General Administration category of expenses. These costs were then allocated to
fundraising, programs and resource development based on a pro-rata headcount calculation. In
2011-12 this methodology was refined to reflect the level of effort within each function using a
step allocation methodology. First the Corporate Services and Communication and Marketing
resources that directly support specific functions are allocated to those functions as direct costs,
the remaining costs are categorized as general and administrative costs (see schedule 6) and
allocated to the three functions on a pro-rata basis based on level of effort estimates. The
following table provides a summary of the general and administrative expenses allocated to
fundraising, resource development and programs in terms of percentages and dollars:

The change in accounting policy has been applied prospectively as it is not practicable to
establish the level of effort per the step allocation methodology for the Corporate Services and
Communications and Marketing resources for the previous year.
Details of general and administrative costs for the year ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 is
presented in schedule 6. The variance between the two years is reflective of the change in
allocation method described above.
18. Cost of Fundraising:
United Way/Centraide Ottawa raises funds from various sources. Therefore, the overall cost of
fundraising considers revenues raised from the campaign and other sources. Fundraising costs
include Community Campaign, GCWCC (net of recoveries) and Resource Development
expenses. The following table provides a summary of the cost of fundraising for the year ended
March 31, 2012 and 2011:
