1.0 Governance and Annual Report Operating Procedure Accountability
Purpose and Application
Section 8 of O. Reg. 34/03 under the Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology Act, 2002 specifies that colleges are to produce an annual report, make it available to the public, and submit the report to the Minister of Training Colleges and Universities annually.
The annual report charts the college’s achievement of the operational outcomes established in the business plan for the year and includes the audited financial statements. An annual report may traditionally serve a variety of purposes including those related to accountability, marketing, and promotion. The key purpose envisioned here is accountability to the public and to the government. The information provided in the colleges’ annual reports is used by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities to advise and inform government planning and policy-making.
Colleges may improve their efficiency and effectiveness by comparing their results with those of other colleges with similar characteristics. Establishing consistent data to be reported in annual reports will allow for such comparisons.
This operating procedure, which applies to all colleges, sets out the minimum requirements for an annual report.
Requirements
Scope
Consistent with the Multi-Year Accountability Agreement (MYAA) framework, the business plan, strategic plan and annual report are to reflect the commitments and results agreed to and signed by the Minister and each respective College Board of governors.
Audited financial statements, annual reports, strategic plans and business plans are to be submitted separately unless so directed by the Minister (O.Reg. 34/03).
Detailed information regarding the college MYAA is to be submitted as an addendum to the annual report in the format provided in the tables attached to this operating procedure.

Due Dates
June 15: The College’s audited financial statement is due June 15 of each year (see the operating procedure on audited financial statements).
June 30: business plans due (refer to operating procedure on business plans for details.)
July 31: Each college is to prepare an annual report including a copy of the audited financial statement and the MYAA report-back.
Available to Public
The annual report is to be available to the public. The college is to determine the appropriate format for the annual report so that it reflects local culture and circumstances while meeting the Ministry requirements of this operating procedure and the Minister’s Binding Policy Directive on Governance and Accountability.
Content
The annual report is to include, at a minimum, the following information:
• A detailed report-back on the extent to which the college achieved the outcomes for the year, as set out in the college’s strategic plan and the business plan of the previous year.
• Report-back on the college’s Multi-Year Accountability Agreement via the attached template and guidelines. Each college has committed, through its Multi- Year Accountability Agreement, to participate in an annual review of its Multi- Year Agreement Action Plan. As part of this review process, colleges will complete the attached addendum, describing your college’s results in each of the indicated areas.
• If any of those outcomes were not achieved, the college is to identify the reasons and outline the steps that the college plans to take to achieve or redefine the outcomes. It may also be appropriate to reference significant changes that have occurred in the college’s environment that required in-year changes.
• A copy of the audited financial statements for the college, its subsidiary corporations, and foundation (as applicable) for the year accompanied by the auditor’s report (see the operating procedure on Audited Financial Statements for detailed instructions regarding the preparation of these statements).

Annual Report Addendum: Multi-Year Accountability Agreement Report Back
Please note that, as was outlined on page one of Appendix B: Multi-Year Agreement Action Plan for Colleges of the Multi-Year Accountability Agreement for Colleges for 2006-07 to 2008-09, the release of the full amount of your 2007-08 and 2008-09 allocations will be conditional on your institution confirming that it is on track for meeting its commitments, or the approval of an improvement plan by the ministry. The ministry will review your Action Plan annually, using this Annual Report Addendum: Multi- Year Accountability Agreement Report Back, and if required, discuss progress made on the commitments outlined in your Action Plan. Based on this review, you may be required to submit an improvement plan to the Ministry. Also as outlined on page one of the Multi-Year Accountability Agreement for Colleges for 2006-07 to 2008-09, implementing the 2006-07 MYAA and future agreements will be part of an evolutionary process. As the Ministry and postsecondary institutions work in collaborative partnership to continuously increase access and improve quality, the results in your report back will inform the development of best practices and the creation of measures of system-wide results. These measures may be incorporated in revised requirements in future years to demonstrate system-wide improvements. Advice from and research undertaken by the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario (HEQCO) will inform this process.
College: Confederation Fiscal Year: 2007-08
A. ACCESS Increased Participation of Under-Represented Students — Measurement As stated in the MYAA, the Ministry is committed to working with the institutions and HEQCO to develop a system measure that will track the participation of under-represented students in a manner that is sensitive to privacy concerns. Measurement Methodologies at Your College Instructions: Referring to your approved MYAA Action Plan, list the measurement methodologies your college uses to determine the presence of under-represented groups (Aboriginal students, first generation students, students with disabilities, and mature students) and Francophone students in its student population. Describe the instrument being used and the categories of students being surveyed. Particularly valuable are methodologies and results that complement those of the Ontario College Student Engagement Survey (OCSES) – for instance, those that address participation in part-time, transition or apprenticeship programs. Individual students may belong to more than one group. In the cells counting respondents for each under- represented group, do not adjust for this potential double-counting. Eliminate any double-counting in the column, “Total Number Self-Identifying as Member of Under-represented Group”.
