Financial Planning

Financial Plan

Each year, the District of Sooke Council must adopt a five year financial plan, with the current year of the plan being the annual budget. The financial plan identifies both operating and capital expenditures balanced against revenues from such sources as:

property tax
sale of services
grants
transfers from other governments

The financial plan is developed by Council through their strategic planning process and identifies for staff and the public what types and quality of services are to be provided. A public consultation process is required for the financial plan and the municipality must produce annual audited financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (Public Sector Account Board of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants). The audited statements must be included in the Annual Municipal Report.
