The purpose of this return is to advise OSFI of any fiscal year end date change that occurs within your institution.  This is not an annual return and should only be used if this type of change occurs.  The submission of this return within the Regulatory Reporting System (RRS) also requires an OSFI acceptance.

All required information must be entered on the Return, even if some of it was previously communicated verbally or in writing to OSFI through other channels (for example, at a meeting with the Relationship Manager or within the filing of a By-Law amendment). The information must be provided on the completed Returns in order to be captured by OSFI’s data management systems.

RRS resubmissions are not permitted for this return type. If you identify errors in your profile, you are required to call Returns Administration in order to correct the error(s). This includes changes to existing effective dates.

This return is not subject to the Late and Erroneous Filing Penalty (LEFP) Framework.

Filing Deadlines

The return should be filed no later than 30 days after the effective date of change.
