The actual expenditure for 2014 amounted to CAD 89 893 000. Since 2010, Member States are invoiced partly in USD and partly in CAD. The USD/CAD exchange rate on 1 January 2014 (the date when invoices were raised in USD) was higher than the rate used in developing the 2014 budget causing an addition to total assessed contributions of CAD 2 490 000. In addition, there was a revaluation of balance sheet items due to a net currency exchange gain of CAD 1 198 000. The net gain (CAD 3 688 000) has been allocated to actual expenditures (CAD 89 893 000) in order to restate them to the budget rate of exchange, which amounts to CAD 86 205 000.
