Statements of Financial Information (SOFI)

Each year, local governments are required to submit a Statement of Financial Information to the Province and post it publicly. This is one of several important reporting tools that supports our mandate of accountability and transparency.   

The Statement of Financial Information (SOFI) report includes our audited financial statements and information about: 

  • remuneration paid to the Mayor and Council 
  • remuneration paid to RMOW, WDC and WHA employees that exceed $75,000 
  • amounts the RMOW, WDC and WHA paid to suppliers of goods and/or services that exceed $25,000  
  • grants paid by us to not-for-profit organizations for the reporting year 

The report is inclusive of revenues and expenditures for the RMOW, Whistler Development Corporation and Whistler Housing Authority.   

What’s the difference between the SOFI report and the Financial Plan?

The main difference is the SOFI reports what HAS happened, and the Financial Plan is forward-looking and reports what we EXPECT TO happen. 

The Five-Year Financial Plan provides detailed funding requirements over the next five years, and also articulates financial priorities and challenges. It helps staff manage day-to-day operations by detailing expectations related to things like revenues and expenditures for each operating area, and by identifying financial and staffing resources available to support service delivery. The Plan serves as a communication device that gives all readers a comprehensive look at the services provided by the RMOW and the costs related to those services.

Five-Year Financial Plan

Each year council reviews the priorities and goals for the upcoming year and directs staff to prepare a comprehensive Five-Year Financial Plan, as required by the Community Charter. The Five-Year Financial Plan is the organization’s budget document reflecting ongoing efforts to provide quality of service in daily operations and local governance consistent with the priorities and strategies identified in the Corporate Plan and Official Community Plan.
