General instructions

The form of the consolidated balance sheet is identical for all institutions regardless of size and type. Consequently, certain balance sheet categories may not be applicable to some institutions because of the nature of their operations.

Where these instructions indicate that a certain category includes particular items, the particular items listed do not limit the generality of the heading but indicate the kind of items that are to be reported there.

Assets under administration are not to be included in the balances reported on the balance sheet.

Interest should be accrued on loans; the accrual is to be included in Asset 6. Debts purchased at a premium or discount are to be reported net of the premium or discount. The net reported amount of such loans will be increased or decreased as the discounts or premiums are taken into income over the term of the loan. Fixed-term loans on which the interest for the term is pre-computed and added to the principal are to be reported net of the pre-computed interest.

Deposits with regulated financial institutions include all non-interest-bearing balances and interest-bearing balances, including correspondent relationships in Canada and elsewhere placed in the normal course of market trading where the only documentation exchanged is a confirmation of contract and the rates applied are the bid and offer of the market.

Insurance-related Assets comprise of asset categories from Insurance Subsidiaries that do not readily fall into the asset categories used in a deposit-taking institution’s financial statements.  

Assets of Insurance Subsidiaries such as securities and mortgages that readily fall into the asset categories used by deposit-taking institutions should be reported in their respective categories.

All amounts are to be expressed in thousands of Canadian dollar equivalents.

Reported amounts for booked in Canada and booked outside Canada must be reported gross of allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs). Conversely, booked amounts under the total worldwide section must be reported net of allowance for ECLs. Also, allowance for ECLs are meant to be entered in absolute values throughout the body of the return.

Companies are required to prepare their quarterly and annual financial statements in accordance with IFRSs for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The reporting package has been revised for all filers which are now reporting under IFRS. References to CGAAP have been removed.

Instructions for columns

Booked in Canada

Transactions booked at the Head Office of the institution, at Canadian branches of the institution, at the Head Office or Canadian branches of Canadian Corporations controlled by the institution, or at Canadian branches or offices of foreign corporations controlled by the institution (that is, Canadian units of the institution). International departments or divisions are considered to be residents of the country in which the office is located.

Resident counterparties

For reporting purposes a resident is an individual, corporation or other organization that is ordinarily resident in Canada. (See: Non-Resident.)

Non-resident counterparties

For reporting purposes, non-resident means an individual, corporation or other organization not ordinarily resident in Canada and includes foreign branches or subsidiaries of Canadian corporations and organizations, but excludes Canadian branches and subsidiaries of foreign corporations and organizations. In determining whether an individual, corporation or other organization is not ordinarily resident in Canada, an institution shall rely on the residential status determined from their mailing address contained in the records of the appropriate branch unless the institution is aware that the residential status is different from its branch records. Business conducted by the international banking divisions of Canadian institutions located in Canada is to be separated on the basis of the residency of the customer.

Booked outside Canada

Transactions booked at foreign branches, foreign agencies, foreign corporations controlled by the bank, and at foreign branches or offices of Canadian corporations controlled by the bank. International departments or divisions are considered to be residents of the country in which the office is located.

Booked worldwide

Consolidation of all transactions booked both in and outside of Canada. Transactions with subsidiaries are eliminated in the face of the consolidated balance sheet. After removing allowances for expected credit losses, booked worldwide amounts should equate the M4 total currency and foreign currency amounts. Please refer to Section III for further information regarding the relationship between booked-in-Canada, booked-outside-Canada, and booked worldwide.

Please also note, the 'sold' portion of the NHA-MBS does not meet the accounting criteria of de-recognition from the balance sheet because the issuing institution still retains the pre-payment risks associated to the underlying pool of mortgages. Also, the 'outstanding balance' is intended as the balance of the NHA-MBS securities.
    2. Uninsured

      Include:

      • advances as well as completed loans;

Other Instructions:

Where a capital lease is the result of a sale-leaseback arrangement, any profit or loss arising on the sale should be deferred and amortized in proportion to the amortization of the leased asset, except for leases involving land only, in which case it would be amortized over the lease-term on a straight-line basis. However, when at the time of the sale-leaseback transaction the fair value of the property is less than carrying value, the difference should be recognized as a loss immediately.

A 6 Other Assets

(a) Insurance-Related Assets

Include:

  • insurance contract assets;
  • reinsurance contract held assets.
(b) Accrued Interest

Include:

  • accrued interest and dividends on Assets 1(b), 2, 3 and 6(a).

Appendix 1- Definition of Readvanceable

The re-advanceable amount of a loan is a portion of the drawn amount (not an authorized undrawn amount) and defined below:

Principal that when repaid does not permanently reduce the authorized limit (applicable to Combined Loan Plan or standalone products) and can be re-drawn by the client without further adjudication.

For reporting purposes re-advanceable is to be calculated using bullets 1- 4, examples are provided below. It is accepted that in some situations the calculations can deviate from the spirit of the definition articulated above.

  1. A simple LOC or HELOC is 100% re-advanceable (see example 1).
  2. A simple mortgage is 100% non re-advanceable (see example 2).
  3. The re-advanceable / non re-advanceable portion of a combined mortgage-HELOC loan plan is determined in two steps (see examples 3-9).
    • Step 1. If the original CLP limit is equal to the current CLP limit, the entire amount is considered "re-advanceable"; however,
    • Step 2. If the current CLP limit is less than the original CLP limit, then the "non re-advanceable" amount is the integrated MTG O/S up to the "current CLP limit less the maximum policy allowable* HELOC limit"**.
      • * HELOC allowable limit would normally be 65% LTV or a lower limit set by the FI's policy.

      • ** The remaining O/S balance will be re-advanceable regardless of P+I or I-only structure.

  4. A mortgage with the option to increase the outstanding balance to the beginning of term amount at the customer's discretion without an approval or appraisal is 100% re-advanceable (see example 12).

Example 1 – Simple Line of Credit

  • Product: Line of Credit
  • Re-advanceable portion of the outstanding balance: 100%

Example 2 – Simple mortgage

  • Product: Mortgage
  • Re-advanceable portion of outstanding balance: 0%

Example 3 – Home Equity Plan where Original CLP limit = Current CLP limit

  • Product: Combined Loan Plan (CLP) Home Equity Plan
  • Loan Details:
    • Property value is $100k
    • Total authorized amount at origination is $80k (Original CLP Limit)
    • Revolving amount to be limited to 65% (maximum allowable HELOC Limit) of LTV which is $65k
    • Current balance of mortgage segment ($80k Limit) in the CLP structure is $80k
    • Current balance of HELOC segment ($0k Limit) in the CLP structure is $0k
  • Since the original CLP Limit ($80k) is equal to the current CLP limit ($80k Mortgage Limit)
    • For the current report, $80k O/S is re-advanceable as CLP Limit minus HELOC Limit = $80k

Example 4 – Home Equity Plan where Original CLP limit = Current CLP limit and HELOC fully drawn but less than the maximum policy allowable HELOC limit

  • Product: Combined Loan Plan (CLP) Home Equity Plan
  • Loan Details:
    • Property value is $100k
    • Total authorized amount at origination is $80k (Original CLP Limit)
    • Revolving amount to be limited to 65% (maximum allowable HELOC Limit) of LTV which is $65k
    • Current balance of mortgage segment ($40k Limit) in the CLP structure is $40k
    • Current balance of HELOC segment ($40k Limit) in CLP structure is $40k
  • Since original CLP Limit ($80k) is equal to the current CLP limit ($80k, $40k HELOC Limit + $40k Mortgage Limit)
    • For the current report, $80k O/S is re-advanceable.

Example 5 – Home Equity Plan where Original CLP limit = Current CLP limit and HELOC is fully drawn

  • Product: Combined Loan Plan (CLP) Home Equity Plan
  • Loan Details:
    • Property value is $100k
    • Total authorized amount at origination is $80k (Original CLP Limit)

    • Current balance of mortgage segment ($15k Limit) in the CLP structure is $15k
    • Current balance of HELOC segment ($65k Limit) in the CLP structure is $65k
  • Since the original CLP Limit ($80k) is equal to the current CLP limit ($80k, $65k HELOC Limit + $15k Mortgage Limit)
    • For the current report, $80k O/S is re-advanceable

Example 6 – Home Equity Plan where Current CLP limit

  • Product: Combined Loan Plan (CLP) Home Equity Plan
  • Loan Details:
    • Property value is $100k
    • Total authorized at origination amount is $80k (Original CLP Limit)

    • Current balance of mortgage segment ($10k Limit) in the CLP structure is $10k
    • Current balance of HELOC segment ($65k Limit) in the CLP structure is $65k
  • Since the current CLP limit ($75k, $65k HELOC limit + $10k Mortgage Limit) is less than the original limit ($80k)
    • For the current report, non re-advanceable portion of the mortgage segment outstanding balance is $10k (Current CLP limit ($75k) less the maximum allowable HELOC limit ($65k))
    • Re-advanceable portion of revolving loan outstanding is $65k

  • Since the current CLP limit ($75k, $65k HELOC limit + $10k Mortgage Limit) is less than the original limit ($80k)
    • For the current report, non re-advanceable portion of the mortgage segment outstanding balance is $10k (Current CLP limit ($75k) less the maximum allowable HELOC limit ($65k))

Example 8 – Home Equity Plan where Current CLP limit

Footnote 1

Conventional mortgages on residential property are reported at 3(b)(1)

Footnote 2

The intention with the term ‘retirement home’ is to refer to institutional establishments. Mortgages on institutional retirement homes are to be classified as non-residential, whereas mortgages on individual condo units within buildings marketed to the elderly are to be classified as residential. The agencies acknowledge that this distinction may not always be simple to identify. As a result the agencies will accept retirement home being classified as either residential or non-residential for the time being; however, filing institutions are encouraged to move towards the intended classification.

Return to footnote 2

Footnote 3

Construction financing can include a wide range of products that have historically been classified inconsistently and recorded under three categories (business loans, residential mortgages, and non-residential mortgages). The agencies do not require this reporting practice to be changed. As a result it will be considered acceptable to record construction financing under any of the three categories; provided that the categorization is re-examined once the construction activity is complete.

Return to footnote 3

Footnote 4

The preferred reporting practice for mortgages on multi-unit residential properties is to include them under residential. However, it is acknowledged that some institution’s legacy systems have included these mortgages under the non-residential category. Both approaches will be accepted for the time being; however, filing institutions are encouraged to move towards the intended classification.

Return to footnote 4

Footnote 5

Mortgages on mixed office residential condo buildings are to be classified as non-residential. This is because individual condo units have separate ownership from the office portion of the building and therefore a mortgage on the office portion of the building should be classifies as non-residential.

Return to footnote 5

Footnote 6

Using the credit counterparty principle, partnerships where the ultimate guarantor is an individual should be classified under the individual category; however, partnerships with a corporation as the ultimate guarantor should be classified as corporations.
