3.1 Introduction

The Receiver General assigns a department number to an organization that is authorized to use the Consolidated Revenue Fund and interface with the central systems operated by Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC). The department number identifies the organization that is accountable or responsible for the accuracy and completeness of transactions being processed through the central systems.

3.1.1 Prerequisites for Assigning a Department Number

Organizations listed in Schedules I, I.1 and II of the Financial Administration Act (FAA) will be assigned a separate department number by the Receiver General.

3.1.2 Departmental Systems Requirements

Once a department number has been assigned to an organization, it must develop interface with the central systems (Standard Payment System (SPS), Bank Facilities System (BFS), Regional Pay System (RPS), Payroll System - General Ledger (PS-GL), Receiver General - General Ledger (RG-GL) and Central Financial Management Reporting System (CFMRS)) and submit a separate trial balance to CFMRS on a monthly basis.

3.2 List of Departments and Numbers

The department numbers currently assigned to organizations that are authorized to use the Consolidated Revenue Fund and interface with the central systems operated by PWGSC are provided in alphabetical order, subsection 3.2.1 and in numerical order, subsection 3.2.2.

The department numbers are also to be used in the codes or accounts suffixed with ddd.
