The dataset is composed of four unique datafiles: (1) Electronic Data Interchange Batch Statistics, (2) Electronic Data Interchange Detail Statistics, (3) Paper-Based Remittance Deposit Statistics, and (4) Paper-Based Remittance Batch Statistics. All transactions have been either aggregated or anonymized. Updates will be posted quarterly.

At the end of each fiscal year, the Receiver General of Canada publishes financial information in the Public Accounts. This dataset, based on Section 3 of Volume 1, presents (in millions of dollars) the expenditures under statutory authorities. Spending authorities provided by statutory authorities are for specified purposes and for such amounts and such time periods as the acts prescribe. These spending authorities do not generally lapse at the end of the year during which they were granted. Expenditures under such authorities account for approximately half of the total program expenses each year. This non-official record of information comes from the Public Accounts of Canada. You can find the official version of record for the most recent fiscal year on the Receiver General website and that of Library and Archives for historical years.

Amount refers to the total dollar value of transactions processed by the Receiver General expressed in Canadian dollars. Both volume and amounts represent monthly totals and are presented for each category and are grouped by department.
