Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation Executive

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation, which comprise the statement of financial position as at June 30, 2018, and the statements of operations and changes in net assets and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation as at June 30, 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations.

1. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS The Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation (the “Federation”) is a corporation as set out in The Teachers’ Federation Act, 2006. The Federation is by this legislation a holistic professional organization that serves both the interests of teachers and the public. Its purposes as mandated in Section 5 of the Act are, among others, to represent and support teachers, to carry on activities to improve the quality of education and delivery of education support for and by teachers, and to promote the cause of education and raise the status of the teaching profession. The Federation also provides various benefit and pension plans for its members and former members, bargains collectively on behalf of teachers, and provides member supports and resources that promote teachers’ professional stewardship and responsibility. The Federation is funded by teachers through membership fees.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations (“ASNPO”) in Part III of the CPA Handbook and reflect the following significant policies: Basis of Presentation These financial statements do not reflect operations of the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation – Members’ Health Plan, the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation – Portaplan, the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation – Income Continuance Plan, the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Retirement Plan, the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation Employees’ Pension Plan, or Dr. Stirling McDowell Foundation for Research Into Teaching Inc. Separate financial statements have been prepared for these plans. See Note 13 for summary information.

Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with ASNPO requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and in the disclosure of commitments and contingencies. Examples of such estimations and assumptions include the useful lives and amortization of capital assets, the cost of employee future benefits, and provisions for contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Adjustments, if any, will be reflected in operations in the period of settlement.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Use of Estimates (continued)

The Federation has a defined benefit pension plan whereby plan members are entitled to a specified level of benefit payment at a future date. The obligation of the Federation is determined with the assistance of an actuary and is a complex calculation involving a large number of estimates relating to matters such as employee demographics, mortality and illness rates, retirement dates, trends in interest rates and the performance of the current and future investment portfolio of the benefit plan. A small change in any one of these estimates could have a significant impact on the obligation. In assessing the recoverability of defined benefit assets, the Federation is required to make assumptions about the ability to recover the amount recognized through reductions in funding in future periods. A similar assessment is required in the recognition of any liability for future minimum funding requirements. Management has applied its judgment in this complex area. Fund Accounting The Federation follows the restricted method of accounting for contributions. The General Fund accounts for the Federation’s programs and administrative activities. This fund reports unrestricted resources. The Professional Development Unit reports unrestricted resources that are used to enhance effective in-service education for members of the teaching profession of Saskatchewan and to provide support for the education communities’ pursuit of the same. The Working Capital Fund reports unrestricted resources that are to be used for expenses during times when the Federation is not receiving membership fees and to maximize investment earnings of the Federation. The Contingency Fund reports only externally restricted resources that are to be used to provide legal and financial support for members who are involved in disputes related to collective bargaining or contracts of employment, to provide financial support to respond to an education crisis, to provide financial means for an ongoing public relations program in support of public education and the teaching profession, and to provide financial support for emergent circumstances that result during the course of an already established budget year.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Fund Accounting (continued) The Operations and Capital Fund reports only internally restricted resources that are to be used for capital purchases and improvements and collective agreement liabilities.

Employee Future Benefits

All of the Federation’s employees that are not members of a teachers’ pension plan are participants in the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation Employees’ Pension Plan, which is a contributory defined benefit pension plan. The Federation is the sponsor of Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation Employees’ Pension Plan. The Federation follows Part II Handbook Section 3462, Employee Future Benefits, and Part III Handbook Section 3463, Employee Future Benefits by Not-for-Profit Organizations (“Section 3463”), for the measurement of the pension obligation and employee future benefit expense. Section 3463 requires the separate recording of pension obligation re-measurements in Net Assets. Accordingly, the Federation’s portion of these re-measurements have been recorded in Net Assets with an accompanying amount owing to (from) the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation – Members’ Health Plan, the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation – Portaplan, the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation – Income Continuance Plan, the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Retirement Plan, and the Dr. Stirling McDowell Foundation for Research Into Teaching Inc. Revenue Recognition Unrestricted membership fees as set by the Federation’s Council are recognized as revenue in the General Fund in the fiscal year due.

Restricted membership fees as set by Council are recognized as revenue of the appropriate restricted fund in the fiscal year due. Administration fees recovered from the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation – Members’ Health Plan, the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation – Portaplan, the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation – Income Continuance Plan, the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Retirement Plan, the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation Employees’ Pension Plan, and Dr. Stirling McDowell Foundation for Research Into Teaching Inc. represents a reimbursement for the cost of salaries and benefits, facilities and supplies.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Revenue Recognition (continued)

Direct cost service revenue recovered from the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation – Members’ Health Plan, the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation – Portaplan, the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation – Income Continuance Plan, the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Retirement Plan, the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation Employees’ Pension Plan, and Dr. Stirling McDowell Foundation for Research Into Teaching Inc. represents a reimbursement for the cost of salaries and benefits. All other revenue is recognized in the appropriate fund, in the year earned. Capital Assets Tangible assets are recorded at cost. The building is amortized on a declining-balance basis over its estimated useful life. Furniture and equipment along with computer hardware, leasehold improvements and books and periodicals are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets are recorded at cost. Computer software and the rights under licensing agreements are amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when their carrying value exceeds the total undiscounted cash flows expected from their use and eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss is determined as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue represents funds received in the current year which apply to subsequent fiscal years. Contributed Services The work of the Federation is dependent on the voluntary service of many members. Since these services are not normally purchased by the Federation and because of the difficulty of determining their fair value, contributed services are not recognized in these financial statements.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Financial Instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Federation becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and their subsequent measurement is measured at amortized cost, except for short-term investments and investment funds which are measured at fair value as at the reporting date. Changes in fair value, including realized and unrealized gains and losses, are recorded in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. Fair values are based on quoted market prices, specifically the latest bid price, where available from active markets, otherwise fair values are estimated using a variety of valuation techniques and models. Financial assets purchased and sold, where the contract requires the asset to be delivered within an established time frame, are recognized on a trade-date basis. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred for all short-term investments and investment funds. Transaction costs related to other financial instruments are netted against the carrying value of the asset or liability and are then recognized over the expected life of the instrument using the effective interest method. Impairment For financial assets measured at cost or amortized cost, the Federation determines whether there are indications of possible impairment. When there is an indication of impairment, and the Federation determines that a significant adverse change has occurred during the period in the expected timing or amount of future cash flows, a write-down is recognized in the investment income. If the indicators of impairment have decreased or no longer exist, the previously recognized impairment loss shall be reversed to the extent of the improvement. The carrying amount of the financial asset may not be greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in investment income. Pension Plan The Federation sponsors and funds a contributory defined benefit pension plan for its employees that are not members of a teachers’ pension plan. The plan provides pensions based on length of service and final average earnings. The Federation accrues its obligations under the defined benefit pension plan as the employees render the services necessary to earn the pension benefits. The cost of the defined benefit pension plan is determined periodically by an independent actuary.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Pension Plan (continued) The defined benefit obligation of the plan is based on an actuarial valuation prepared for funding purposes (but not one prepared using a solvency, wind-up, or similar valuation basis) using the most recently completed actuarial valuation. A funding valuation is prepared in accordance with pension legislation and regulations, generally to determine required cash contributions to the plan. The Federation recognizes the defined benefit obligation net of the fair value of plan assets. Current service costs and finance cost for the period are recognized in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. Employee future benefits re-measurements and other items are recognized directly in net assets in the Statement of Financial Position and presented as a separately identified line item in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Federation is exposed to various risks through its financial instruments. The following analysis provides a measure of the Federation’s risk exposure and concentrations at June 30, 2018. The Federation has a written Investment Objectives and Policy Statement (“IOPS”) and an Investment Management Guidelines Statement (“IMGS”). The STF Executive approves the IOPS and delegates governance responsibilities for management of the assets of Federation funds through the approval of the terms of reference. The IOPS is formally reviewed at least annually, and changes are made to it, if and when appropriate. The STF Executive approves amendments to the IOPS as recommended by the Investment Committee. The Investment Committee establishes the IMGS to address the unique investment objectives and constraints for the Federation, as well as outlining relevant legislation and governance. The IMGS is reviewed at least annually, and changes are made to it, if and when appropriate. The IMGS is shared with the STF Executive for information.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) Market Risk Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from change in market factors such as interest rates, foreign currency rates, and equity prices. The Federation is exposed to this market risk in its investing activities. The investment manager is responsible for managing market risk in accordance with the Federation’s IOPS and IMGS. The investment manager reports quarterly, to the Investment Services Unit, on their performance which includes compliance with the policy and regulatory requirements. All exceptions noted are to be reported to the Investment Committee. a) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk refers to the adverse consequences of interest rate changes on the Federation’s cash flows and net assets.

The investment portfolio of the Federation is directly exposed to interest rate risk in respect of its fixed income and short-term investments and deposits. Fixed rate instruments subject the Federation to a fair value risk while the floating rate instruments subject it to a cash flow risk. To manage the interest rate risk, the Investment Committee has adopted an approach whereby investments are strategically distributed, on a long-term basis, among several classes of assets to reduce exposure to investment volatility.

b) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency exposure arises from the Federation’s holdings of non-Canadian investments, which as at June 30, 2018, consist of pooled investments which comprise 7.1% or $2,496,016 (2017 – 6.6% or $2,180,909) of the total portfolio.

Maximum exposure in any single foreign investment is 10% of the market value of the Federation’s foreign equity portfolio. Investments in individual equities shall not exceed 10% of the outstanding shares of the issuing corporation and at least 20 different equity holdings shall exist in the investment manager’s portfolio, either directly or through index replication instruments. No more than 15% of the foreign equity portfolio shall be invested in stocks that fall outside of the relevant benchmark index.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Market Risk (continued)

c) Equity price risk

Equity price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an equity investment will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual equity instrument, or factors affecting similar equity instruments traded in the market.

The investment portfolio is directly exposed to equity price risk in respect of its

pooled equities which total $7,481,830 at June 30, 2018 (2017 – $6,985,163).

The IMGS limits the total direct investment in a single equity investment to 10% of the total market value of the Federation’s Canadian equity portfolio. At least 20 different Canadian equity holdings shall exist in the portfolio, either directly or through index replication instruments. No more than 15% of the Canadian equity portfolio shall be invested in stocks that fall outside of the S&P/TSX composite index.

Credit Risk The business of the Federation necessitates the management of credit risk. Credit risk is the potential financial loss resulting from the failure of a customer or counterparty to settle its financial and contractual obligations of the Federation, as and when they fall due. The Federation limits credit risk by dealing with investees that are considered to be of high quality. Credit risk concentration exists where a significant portion of the portfolio is invested in securities which have similar characteristics or obey similar variations relating to economic or political conditions.

This risk is managed by strategically diversifying investments, on a long-term basis, among several classes of assets. The assets of the Federation are directly exposed to credit risk in respect of its pooled fixed income, pooled short-term investments and deposits, term deposits, accounts receivable and cash.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Credit Risk (continued) As at June 30, 2018, the Federation’s maximum exposure to credit risk was $29,769,205 (2017 – $28,877,095) being the total of the carrying values of these assets.

The IMGS requires that all short-term investments have a minimum rate of R1 or equivalent rating as rated by a recognized bond rating agency at time of purchase. The IMGS limits the Federation to holding not more than 5% of the market value of fixed income securities in any one non-government entity. Private placement bonds shall not exceed 5% of the fixed income portfolio market value. Foreign currency exposure is limited to 10% of the market value of the fixed income portfolio. None of the assets in the investment portfolio are past due or impaired as at June 30, 2018 (2017 – none). Liquidity Risk

The business of the Federation necessitates the management of liquidity risk. Liquidity

risk is the risk of being unable to meet financial commitments, under all circumstances, without having to raise funds at unreasonable prices or sell assets on a forced basis.

As at June 30, 2018, the Federation has current financial liabilities of $1,565,895 (2017

– $1,687,463) relating to accounts payable and accrued charges. In addition, it has an ongoing obligation to pay benefits to members of the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation Employees’ Pension Plan in respect of pensions payable, which the actuarial present value totaled $32,568,586 for the year ended June 30, 2018 (2017 – $30,832,110).

At June 30, 2018, the Federation held cash and money market instruments, as well as

fixed income and equities which are readily available to settle such obligations. 12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
