MESSAGE FROM THE CEO AND THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORSFEI Canada is striving to improve the value of your membership. Our volunteer leadership and staff is hard at work learning how to best meet and exceed the needs of members and prospective members.
Like many other professional associations, FEI Canada is challenged with changing demographics, triggered in part by the increase in retirement of baby boomers and changes in how we interact with our peers. In order to maintain and expand our membership, we must continue to adapt to a changing generation of financial leaders. We are tackling this issue by consulting with our members, prospective members and experts.
Thanks to all of you who participated in our spring membership survey. When we pored over the results, we wanted to understand what you felt was the greatest value of an FEI Canada membership, and what you thought encouraged your peers to join and to stay members. To help us, we engaged a business school to do a market research study. They undertook one-on-one interviews with members and prospective members , and the insights they gleaned helped us better understand the motivations of Canadian financial executives.
Observations from the market research confirmed that members were looking for various things that we have already incorporated into our strategic initiatives:
• Networking, combined with professional development (PD): Members value networking with their peers, especially if it goes beyond a mere cocktail party chat and involves the sharing of work experiences that will help members solve challenges or further their career. FEI Canada will be organizing more roundtable events to trigger such helpful sharing. Feedback from a participant in one of our CFERF Executive Research Forums was that this type of event was one of the most powerful peer learning experiences from which he has ever benefitted.
• More programming on leadership and management issues: Consistent with trends that the CFO role is evolving into a position that is far more comprehensive in scope, members expressed an interest in non-traditional and “soft” skills. In response, more innovative programming will be introduced in the near future and leadership topics were added to the 2012 Annual Conference agenda. For those who were not able to make it to St. John’s in June, check out the video links that you will find in this report, including our CFO Leadership panel with the dynamic trio of Tim Hortons’ CFO Cynthia Devine, PCL’s EVP Gord Maron and prominent Newfoundland business leader Jo Mark Zurel.
• Organizing members by Communities of Interest
Networks (“COINs”): Many members want more interaction with those in their industry, sector or other community of interest. While FEI Canada’s current member grouping by geography is convenient for in-person meetings, we foresee using the COIN concept for breakout discussions at certain live events as well as virtual connections (LinkedIn groups), webinars and teleconference discussions. Our first COIN was launched recently when the Private Company Roundtable was formed to provide private company members with a forum to exchange their business ideas and concerns.
• Personalized new member recruitment, on-boarding
and mentorship: Many new and prospective members have indicated they’d like their more experienced peers to personally welcome them into our organization and show them the ropes. Some would even like to be mentored by our more senior members. As we are quite a large organization, we would love to hear from those members who would be willing to act as mentors or as hosts at chapter meetings.

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO AND THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Our prospects for continued success are enhanced by the dedication of our volunteer leadership and staff, and we thank all who have contributed and continue to contribute to the advancement of FEI Canada’s strategic goals for their efforts and enthusiasm. This interactive annual report highlights various accomplishments over the past year that was made possible by these efforts. These highlights include:
• The celebration of the 10th anniversary milestone of Canada’s CFO of the Year™ Award, marking a decade of providing much-deserved recognition of our country’s CFOs.
• Our research institute, CFERF, has become self-sustaining and continues to produce high-quality research studies that members appreciate. These have attracted increased media attention, reaching a broader audience of financial leaders through publications such as Canadian Treasurer, Corporate Risk and various business and finance newspapers.
• As a result of our advocacy efforts, the issue of tax simplification is gaining legs. We thank the many hard-working members of our technical committees, including our tax task force chaired by Peter Effer.
• Many members commented on the high-quality of content and jovial atmosphere at our annual conference, held this year in St. John’s, Newfoundland.
In closing, we would like to invite you to email us ([email protected]) to let us know how we can better serve you.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW
RESULTS OF OPERATIONSFEI Canada reported an excess of expenses over revenues of $158,797 for the year ended June 30, 2012, compared to a profit of $201,929 a year ago. Excluding the impact of the expense of the closed Pension Plan for past employees, the excess of expenses over revenues would have been $9,138 for the year ended June 30, 2012, compared to a profit of $120,778 a year ago. Most of this Pension Expense relates to the mark-to-market adjustment of its investment portfolio and a decrease in the discount rate used in the actuarial liability calculation.
REVENUESRevenues decreased $324,000 or 14% from a year ago, to $2,021,000. Event revenue decreased $270,000, due to lower registration and sponsorship revenues from our annual conference (down $184,000) and a drop in the number of webinars and breakfast seminars ($86,000). Membership dues and fees decreased $50,000, stemming from a decline in membership this year. While the number of strategic partnerships was unchanged this year, these
revenues decreased $45,000 due to sponsorship declines in 2010-2011. CFERF revenues improved $50,000, due to higher research revenues ($42,000) and increased donations ($8,000). Miscellaneous revenue declined $12,000 as our member job board service was enhanced by allowing recruiters to post job openings free of charge. Income on our investment portfolio, at $33,000, was $3,000 higher than last year.

The Pension Plan expense at $150,000 was $231,000 higher than a year ago, as lower investment returns were achieved and the discount rate applied to the actuarial liability was lowered by 1.1%. Other compensation expenses,
representing 43% of FEI Canada’s expenditures, decreased $32,000 from last year. Event costs declined $89,000, mostly due to lower costs associated with our annual conference. Administration, occupancy and other costs declined $55,000 largely due to cost curtailment. Despite higher CFERF research and fundraising revenues, related costs were reduced $27,000. National Sponsorship program costs increased $9,000 over last year.

FEI CANADA SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE TO SUMMARY FINANCIAL STATEMENTSJune 30, 2012
DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Financial Executives International Canada/Dirigeants Financiers Internationaux du Canada (FEI Canada) is a not-for-profit membership organization established to connect financial executives through networking, knowledge exchange, advocacy and ethical leadership. It is a registered nonprofit organization, which is exempt from income taxes under the Income Tax Act (Canada).
These summary financial statements have been prepared from the audited financial statements of Financial Executives International Canada/Dirigeants Financiers Internationaux du Canada (the “Organization”) for the year ended June 30, 2012, on a basis that is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements of the Organization except that no statement of changes in fund balances and statement of cash flows have been presented and only selected information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements has been presented.
The summary financial statements include the accounts of the organization’s controlled foundation, Canadian Financial Executives Research Foundation/Fondation De Recherche Des Dirigeants Financiers Du Canada (CFERF). CFERF is separately incorporated and was formed to promote, conduct and sponsor research and publishing projects on business management topics. FEI Canada provides administrative support and management to CFERF and is not remunerated for this support.
FEI Canada is affiliated with chapters throughout Canada, and with Financial Executives International in the United States (FEI). FEI Canada chapters are independently responsible for funding and managing their operations and, accordingly, are not consolidated in these financial statements.
