The financial reports produced by the central accounting system generally include only cash transactions. Many departments have therefore developed supplementary accounting systems to provide reports that include additional management information, such as accruals, commitments, detailed cost information, budgets, or variance analysis. This management information can be input into the Departmental Reporting System operated by the Department of Supply and Services in accordance with media exchange protocol established with that department. 3, record 2, English, - Departmental%20Reporting%20System

Le système de rapports ministériels assuré par TPSGC constitue un sous-produit de son système d'émission des chèques et se fonde sur les données contenues dans la banque de données du gouvernement du Canada. Aussi, tout ministère qui utilise ces services n'a pas à présenter de rapports supplémentaires pour les comptes centraux du Canada parce que les mêmes données comptables servent à produire tant les rapports financiers des ministères que les rapports préparés à partir des comptes centraux. 4, record 2, French, - Syst%C3%A8me%20de%20rapports%20minist%C3%A9riels
