Mission: To cultivate an environment in which the arts thrive for the benefit of everyone in Saskatchewan.
Vision: Saskatchewan is known internationally as a truly creative society — a society for arts and innovation — which fosters a spirit of inquiry and exploration in its citizens. Readily available to everyone, the arts play a crucial role in encouraging us to value our own cultural identities and communities with understanding and confidence. We are known well beyond our borders for the work of our artists, for the vitality of our imaginative life, and for the place of art in the lives of everyone who lives here.
Values: In realizing the vision for the arts in Saskatchewan, we are guided by the following values:
Art and Artists: The work of artists is at the centre of all of our policies and programs.
Engagement and Access: We are committed to fostering dynamic and continuous engagement between artists and citizens.
Accountability and Transparency: Our policies and processes are transparent and reflect a commitment to accountability for the public trust we hold.
Partnerships and Collaboration: We work collaboratively and value community-based partnerships and the contributions of all participants.
Ideas and the Arts: We recognize and support the significant role of the arts in the creation and advancement of ideas in society.

48 financials MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Management of the Saskatchewan Arts Board is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements and other financial information reported by the Board of Directors. This obligates management to use its best judgment in preparing and presenting financial information in accordance with established Board policy and principles which are acceptable to the accounting profession. The Board has established a system of internal controls to govern the management and accountability of financial resources entrusted to it. Management relies upon the system of internal controls to ensure that financial transactions are accurately recorded on a timely basis, are properly approved and result in reliable financial statements. It is, therefore, responsible for all amounts reported therein, including valuations determined externally by specialists. Management believes that the existing system of internal control provides a reasonable assurance that the assets are safeguarded and that the financial records are reliable for preparing financial information and maintaining accountability for assets. Management is responsible for providing reasonable assurances to the Board and the general public through the Legislature that the Board’s financial information satisfies standards of validity and reliability. This requires that quantitative data be based on relevant parameters of measurement that are consistently applied over time. Management provides the Board with the necessary information for it to make governance decisions at the highest meaningful level in connection with the objectives articulated in The Arts Board Act, 1997 . Management discharges its responsibility for financial information under the stewardship of the Board and its Audit and Finance Committee. In accordance with Article 28 of The Arts Board Act, 1997, the Board’s financial statements are audited annually by the Provincial Auditor or any other auditor or firm of auditors appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council. The Audit and Finance Committee is available to meet with the designated auditors as required.
On behalf of management:
David Kyle Peter Sametz Chief Executive Officer Associate Executive Director
50 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To: The Members of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan
I have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Saskatchewan Arts Board, which comprise the statement of financial position as at March 31, 2014, and the statements of operations and accumulated surplus, changes in net financial assets and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards for Treasury Board’s approval, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility 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 comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.
Opinion In my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Saskatchewan Arts Board as at March 31, 2014, and the results of its operations, changes in net financial assets and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards.

54 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2014
1. PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY The Saskatchewan Arts Board was established pursuant to The Arts Board Act . It has been continued under The Arts Board Act, 1997 (the Act). It exists to cultivate an environment in which the arts thrive for the benefit of everyone in Saskatchewan. The Act continues the Saskatchewan Arts Board Fund through which all financial transactions are conducted which pertain to fulfilling the purposes of the agency as indicated in the Act.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES These financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as recommended by the Public Sector Accounting Board of Chartered Professional Accountants Canada. These statements do not present a Statement of Remeasurement Gains and Losses as it is not practical to determine the unrealized portion of investment income relating to its managed funds investments. As a result, all income attributable to its managed funds investments is recorded in Other Earned Income on the Statement of Operations and Accumulated Surplus. The significant policies are as follows: a) Collections The Board maintains a collection of artworks and related archives in all forms in order to inform, enlighten, and enhance the lives of present and future generations. Works in the collection are acquired through purchase, commission, donation, or bequest. i) Permanent collection purchases are charged at cost as an expense in the Statement of Operations and Accumulated Surplus in the year of purchase. ii) Donated works of art and archives for the permanent collection are recorded as revenue at their fair market value at the time of donation with a corresponding charge to expenses in the Statement of Operations and Accumulated Surplus. iii) Musical instrument purchases are charged at cost as an expense in the Statement of Operations and Accumulated Surplus in the year of purchase. b) Tangible Capital Assets Leasehold improvements, equipment, and furnishings are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. The net book value of these capital assets is detailed in Note 12. Tangible capital assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which are as follows: Electronic equipment 4 years Other equipment 6 years Furnishings 10 years Leasehold improvements Life of the lease c) Designated Assets Internally – the Board periodically designates amounts from cash to be allocated for specified purposes. In designating these amounts, the Board takes into account the amounts and stated preferences of contributors. These amounts are not available for other purposes without approval of the Board. Externally – the Board may receive cash with the stipulation it be used for specific purposes. These amounts are available only for the purposes stipulated by the contributor. d) Grant Expenses Grants are expensed when approved by the Board, the applicant has met the eligibility criteria, and the amount of the grant can be estimated. e) Cash Cash consists of interest-bearing money on deposit with the bank. The interest rate during the year was 1.000% (2013 – 1.000%). f) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for Public Sector requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Assumptions underlying asset valuations are limited by the availability of reliable comparable data and the uncertainty of predictions concerning future events. The inherent uncertainty involved in making such estimates and assumptions may impact the actual results reported in future periods. Differences are recorded in current operations when identified. The primary measurement uncertainty arising from the use of estimates which may affect reported amounts relates to the values of loans receivable, accounts receivable, and tangible capital assets. g) Revenues Revenues are recognized as they are earned and measurable. Government transfers are recognized in the financial statements in the period in which the events giving rise to the transfer occur, eligibility criteria are met, and reasonable estimates of the amount can be made. Deferred revenue represents user charges and other fees which have been collected, for which the related services have yet to be provided. These amounts will be recognized as revenue in the fiscal year the services are provided.
55 3. PENSION PLAN Employees make contributions to the Public Employees’ Pension Plan, a defined contribution plan. Funding requirements are established by The Superannuation (Supplementary Provisions) Act . During the year, the employee contribution rate was changed from 6% to 6.25% effective October 1, and the employer contribution rate was also changed from 7% to 7.25%. This plan is fully funded. During the year the Board’s total contributions were $90,828 (2013 – $100,311) and are included in Salaries and benefits in Note 7.
4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS a) Fair value The Board’s significant financial instruments consist of cash, managed funds, accounts receivable, loans receivable and accounts payable. The fair value of the loans receivable is not readily determinable due to the nature of the loans as described in Note 8 and Note 13. The fair values of the other financial instruments approximate their carrying value due to their short-term nature. b) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that a party owing money to the Board will fail to discharge that responsibility. The Board is exposed to credit risk from the potential non-payment of accounts and loans receivable. The majority of accounts receivable were collected shortly after year- end. Loans receivable – operations are secured against future grant allocations. Therefore, the credit risk is minimal. Loans receivable – Flexible Loan Program are secured by general security agreements. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded to cover any risks associated with any of the financial instruments.
5. ASSESSMENT SERVICES The Board has entered into agreements with several organizations to provide assessment and program delivery services on their behalf. In cases where the grant amounts recommended are paid directly by the partner organization, the grant amounts are not reported in these financial statements. During 2014 the Board convened juries leading to the recommendation of 129 grants to be paid by partner organizations (2013 – 92 grants). Fees earned by the Board for assessment services are recorded as revenues. During 2014 the following assessment fees were recognized:

8. LOANS RECEIVABLE – OPERATIONS In 2002 and 2004, the Board entered into two loan agreements with a non-profit organization for the total amount of $265,000. The interest rate on these loans was set at prime less two percent. In 2006, the terms of repayment were amended to restructure and extend the repayment timeline. The first loan has now been paid in full. In 2012, two loans with two different non-profit organizations were finalized with interest rates of 1% and 3% respectively. The principal amounts borrowed were $60,000 and $40,000. The $40,000 loan with 3% interest has been completely paid off. Future payments to the Board, pursuant to these agreements, are as follows: Fiscal Year Principal Repayment 2014/15 26,137 2015/16 12,344 2016/17 & beyond 53,109 $ 91,590

10. MANAGED FUNDS In 2007, the Board entered into a Managed Fund agreement with the Saskatoon Community Foundation to maintain funds consigned by the Board for specified purposes. Expenditures incurred by the Board in relation to these purposes out of operating funds have been identified and are included as part of the undesignated portion of the Managed Funds balance. The total funds on hand are pooled by the Foundation with other participants’ assets and invested through a fund manager. Rates of return are declared by the Foundation each quarter and applied to funds on hand as of the beginning of the quarter. During the year, the Board consigned $3,602,986 (2013 – $0) to the Managed Fund.

a) Land In July 1998, Order-in-Council 485/98 authorized Saskatchewan Environment to sell, and the Board to acquire, provincial lands identified in the Order-in-Council for the total value of $1. During 2006 the Board sold the portion of these lands described as Certificate of Title No. 88S52861 in the above Order-in-Council for $442,677. These proceeds were recognized as revenue during 2006. In December 2010, the Board sold a portion of the remaining land to the City of Saskatoon for $560,000. $90,000 was held back by the City of Saskatoon pending the purchase of an adjacent segment of land by the Board from the City of Saskatoon. The purchase concluded in 2014 in the amount of $77,436. This purchase price was offset against the $90,000 that was held back by the City of Saskatoon. As a result, the difference of $12,564 was paid to the Board by the City of Saskatoon. In 2014, all remaining parcels of land were sold by the Board to various parties in the combined amount of $3,602,986.
13. FLEXIBLE LOAN PROGRAM In 2008, Order-in-Council 817/2007 provided for additional funding to the Saskatchewan Arts Board, including $1,150,000 for the establishment of a loan program in support of Creative Industries. The purpose of this program is to provide recoupable low-interest loans to support individual artists, arts businesses and arts organizations in developing new business opportunities or expanding existing opportunities to ensure the creation, production, promotion and dissemination of high-quality and authentic cultural products. In 2013, the Board entered into an agreement with the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport to repurpose $1,000,000 from the Flexible Loan Program for disbursement as grants to support creative industry projects through the Creative Industries Transition Fund, a program established for this purpose. The effective date of the agreement was April 1, 2013.
