This section contains information on accounts reported on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position under "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities".

In many cases, these accounts represent accounts payable, accruals and allowances set up at year end under the authority granted to the President of the Treasury Board under the Financial Administration Act.
Most tables in this section present the continuity of accounts, by showing the opening and closing balances. A narrative description is provided for accounts reported in some tables. Such descriptions follow the same presentation order as their respective tables.
