Public Notice

Ottawa, 11 October 1989
Public Notice CRTC 1989-114
Radio CKMG Inc.
The Commission has received the following application:
1.ONTARIO REGION
 Application (890810500) by the CANADIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION (Newsworld) seeking an amendment to condition of licence No. 11 which states:
 "The licensee shall file with the Commission by 30 November of each year the results of an audit carried out by an independent outside auditor for the broadcast year or part thereof completed on the preceding 31 August certifying that the news and information service is recovering fully the incremental costs incurred as a result of provision of the service and that funds paid to the Corporation out of Parliamentary appropriations are not being spent for the purpose of recovering these incremental costs.
 The audit report shall also certify that appropriate accounts have been maintained in respect of advertising revenue earned by the news and information service and that advertising revenue derived from joint sales by the news and information service and the existing radio and television services of the Corporation have been allocated between the news and information service and existing CBC services."
The CBC seeks to amend this condition of licence which requires an August 31 year end audited report to a March 31 year end audited statement. This is because the CBC is required by statute to have a 31 March audited review by the Office of the Auditor General. To have a second audited report on a 31 August year end would mean closing the CBC's books twice in every year and twice yearly to completely re-determine and re-audit revenues, expenditures, assets and liabilities. Such a second audit would further strain CBC resources and create incremental costs that would have to be borne by the CBC.
