Audited Financial Statements – Agency Activities

Auditor’s Report

To the Board of Management of the Canada Revenue Agency
and the Minister of National Revenue

I have audited the statement of financial position of the Agency Activities of the Canada Revenue Agency as at March 31, 2009 and the statements of operations, net liabilities and cash flow for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Agency's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.

I conducted my audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In my opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Agency Activities of the Canada Revenue Agency as at March 31, 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
