1. Authority and Purpose
The Society delivers educational programs under the authority of the School Act, Chapter S-3 Statutes of Alberta, January 1, 2002. It is not taxable under Section 149(1) of the Income Tax Act.
The Society receives block allocations for instruction and support under Regulation 72/95. The regulation limits funding and expenses for administration. It permits the Society, within specified limits to reallocate funding between the instruction and support blocks.
2. Significant Accounting Policies The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles as issued by the Accounting Standards Board in Canada and include the following significant accounting policies:
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized as follows: Instruction and support allocations are recognized in the year to which they relate.
Fees for services related to courses and programs are recognized as revenue when such courses and programs are delivered.
Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue when received or receivable. Contributions in-kind are recorded at fair market value when reasonably determinable.
Externally restricted contributions are deferred and recognized as revenue in the period in which the restriction is complied with.
Prepaid Expenses
Certain expenditures incurred and paid before the close of the school year are for specific school supplies, which will be consumed subsequent to the year-end, and are accordingly recorded as prepaid expenses. Certain insurance expenses also fall into this category.
School Generated Funds
These are funds which come under the control and responsibility of a school principal for school activities. They are usually collected, retained, and expended at the school level (e.g. yearbook sales, hot lunches, field trip fees, etc.)
Investments Held for trading investments are recognized in the statement of financial position at fair value. The fair values of the recognized investments are determined based on the available market information. Realized investment income and unrealized gains and losses are reported in the statement of revenues and expenses.
MOTHER EARTH’S CHILDREN’S CHARTER SCHOOL SOCIETY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AUGUST 31, 2012
page 10
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Capital Assets
Capital assets are recorded at cost. The cost for contributed capital assets is considered to be the fair value at the date of contribution. Amortization is provided using the straight-line method at rates intended to amortize the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives:
Automotive equipment 10 years Classroom equipment 10 years Computer and media equipment 5 years Playground, gym, kitchen and custodial equipment 5 years
Only capital assets with a cost in excess of $5,000 are capitalized. No amortization is recorded in
the year of acquisition.
Vacation Pay
Vacation pay is accrued in the period in which the employee earns the benefit.
Teachers’ Retirement Fund Contributions by the Province of Alberta
Teacher’s Retirement Fund (TRF) contributions by the Province for current service are a component part of the education system costs and are formally recognized in the accounts of the Society, even though the jurisdiction has no legal obligation to pay these costs. The amount of current service contributions are recognized as revenue from the Province and as certificated benefits expense. Previously, the Provincial contributions were not included in the accounts of the jurisdiction. The prior year’s comparative figures have been restated to conform to this change in accounting policy.
Pensions
Pension costs included in these statements comprise the cost of employer contributions for current service of employees during the year. For the school year ended August 31, 2012, the amount contributed to the Teachers’ Retirement Fund by the Province was $61,639 (2011 - $63,595). The Society participates in a multi-employer pension plan, the Local Authorities Pension Plan, and does not report on any unfunded liabilities. The Society does not make pension contributions for the staff. At December 31, 2011, the Local Authorities Pension Plan reported an actuarial deficiency of $4,639,390,000 (2010 – deficiency of $4,635,250,000).
Financial Instruments
The Society’s financial instruments consist of cash and temporary investments, accounts receivable, long-term investments, bank indebtedness, and accounts payable. Unless otherwise indicated, it is management's opinion that the Society is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. Unless otherwise noted, the fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values. The Society has invested surplus funds in accordance with Section 60 of the School Act.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AUGUST 31, 2012

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (i) Held for trading The Society has classified cash and temporary investments, and long-term investments as held for trading. These instruments are initially recognized at their fair value, determined by published price quotations in an active market. Transactions to purchase or sell these items are recorded on the settlement date. Held for trading financial instruments are subsequently measured at their fair value, without any deduction for transaction costs incurred on sale or other disposal. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized immediately in income. (ii) Available for sale The Society has not classified any financial assets as available for sale. (iii) Loans and receivables The Society has classified accounts receivable as loans and receivables. The assets are initially recognized at their fair value. Fair value is approximated by the instrument's initial cost in a transaction between unrelated parties. Transactions to purchase or sell these items are recorded on the settlement date. Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at their amortized cost, using the effective interest method. Under this method, estimated future cash receipts are discounted over the asset's expected life, or other appropriate period, to its net carrying value. Amortized cost is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition less any reduction for uncollectibility. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in net income upon derecognition or impairment. (iv) Held to maturity The Society has not classified any financial assets as held to maturity.
(v) Other financial liabilities The Society has classified bank indebtedness and accounts payable as other financial liabilities. These liabilities are initially recognized at their fair value. Fair value is approximated by the instrument's initial cost in a transaction between unrelated parties. Transactions to purchase or sell these items are recorded on the settlement date.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Under this method, estimate future cash payments are discounted over the liability's expected life, or other appropriate period, to their net carrying value. Amortized cost is the amount at which the financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments, and plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between the initial amount and the maturity amount. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in net income upon derecognition.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances with banks and short-term investments with maturities not exceeding 90 days.
MOTHER EARTH’S CHILDREN’S CHARTER SCHOOL SOCIETY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AUGUST 31, 2012
page 12
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Contributed Services
Volunteers contribute a considerable number of hours per year to schools to ensure that certain programs are delivered, such as kindergarten, lunch services and the raising of school generated funds. Because of the difficulty of compiling these hours and the fact that these services are not otherwise purchased, contributed services are not recognized in the financial statements.
Measurement Uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accounts receivable are stated after evaluation as to their collectibility and an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts is provided where considered necessary. Amortization is based on the estimated useful lives of capital assets.
Future Accounting Policies
The Society will adopt public sector accounting standards for the year ending August 31, 2013 with retrospective application and restatement of the prior school year. The transition is intended to enhance the public accountability and comparability of the financial reporting of the government controlled entities with those of other government organizations.

11. Related Party Transactions
Effective 2005/2006, school jurisdictions are controlled by the Government of Alberta according to criteria set out in PSAB 1300. All entities consolidated or accounted for on a modified equity basis in the accounts of the Government of Alberta are now related parties of school jurisdictions. These include government departments, health authorities, post-secondary institutions and other school jurisdictions in Alberta. All related-party transactions are in the normal course of business and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties. Friends of MECCS Education Foundation (the “Foundation”) is a related party as its board includes management from the Society. These two entities have not been consolidated as it was determined that there is no common control. The Society and the Foundation pay expenses on behalf of one another, which are then fully reimbursed at cost. The Society also pays the Foundation rent for the use of the school and related property. These transactions are in the normal course of operations and have been measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration agreed to by the parties.
