annual reports and financial statements

The integrity and objectivity of the financial statements of Waterfront Toronto (legally known as the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation) is the responsibility of management.

The financial statements are prepared in compliance with legislation and in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for not-for-profit organizations established by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants. Significant accounting policies are described in the Notes to the financial statements.



Management is also responsible for maintaining a system of internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded, transactions are properly authorized and recorded, and reliable financial information is available on a timely basis for the preparation of the financial statements.



The financial statements are audited by independent external auditors appointed by the Board of Directors. The financial statements accompany an Auditors’ Report which outlines their responsibilities, the scope of their examination and their opinion on the Corporation’s financial statements.

Management meets with the external auditors, the Finance, Audit and Risk Management Committee and the Board of Directors to review the financial statements and discuss any significant financial reporting or internal control matters prior to approval of the financial statements.
