Review the Royal College summary audited financial statements
Access to these statements is being provided to members at this time in compliance with the terms of the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act (the “Act”), and an exemption granted to the Royal College by Corporations Canada pursuant to subsection 160(2) of the Act.
The rationale for the Corporations Canada exemption and the terms of the exemption that the Royal College must satisfy are explained below.
Exemption terms
The exemption permits the Royal College to continue with its business practice of holding the Annual Meeting of the Members (AMM) in February as opposed to six months after the March 31 financial year end, so long as it satisfies certain terms.
The terms of the exemption require the Royal College to provide, by September 30 of this year.
- notification to the members of the exemption; and
- a copy or summary of the audited financial statements of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada for the year ended March 31, 2020.
The Royal College will also comply with additional terms of the exemption at the AMM on February 25, 2021. The organization will 1) provide members with unaudited financial information of the Royal College up to the most recent quarter, and 2) seek support from the members for a special resolution authorizing the continued application of this exemption with regards to the next financial year end.
