Variance Analysis (in thousands of dollars)

Corporate Administration is operating a year-to-date deficit before indirect allocations of $459 and forecasting a total deficit before indirect allocations of $467. The following factors have contributed to these variances:

Distribution to Local Area Municipalities

The total year distribution to local area municipalities and Region is forecasted to be $430 each due in part to a decrease in charges received. First and second quarter payments have been distributed and no further payouts will be made until the year end shortfall is finalized.

Compensation

The favourable year-to-date and forecasted variances of $92 and $168 is the result of vacancies in the department.

Administrative

The favourable year-to-date and forecasted variances of $64 and $155 is the result of a decrease in interpreter costs (more appearances by video) as well as a decrease in victim fine surcharges and Ministry of Attorney General fees which are tied to a decrease in charges received.

Operational & Supply

The favourable year-to-date and forecasted variances of $16 and $463 is the result of a decrease in the third and fourth quarter net revenue distribution payment to the local area municipalities.

Other Revenue

The unfavourable year-to-date and forecasted variances $624 and $1,250 due to a decrease in charges filed and a decrease in prepaid fine payments received.
