CBSA – Account Receivable Ledger

The Accounts Receivable Ledger (ARL) is the first phase of the CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) project. CARM is a large, multi-year transformation project that will help the Agency simplify and streamline the assessment and collection of revenue from importers, and automate key business processes.  ARL will be implemented January 25 2016.

The CARM Project will:

  • Improve the way the CBSA assesses, collects, manages and reports on import revenue and trade information;
  • Replace aging and non-integrated revenue and cash management systems; and
  • Improve service delivery by simplifying processes and expanding opportunities for the commercial trade community to interact electronically with the CBSA.

ARL provides:

  • A fully integrated and centralized commercial client-based accounting system;
  • Off-setting credits against debits to support account level management;
  • Enhanced electronic Daily Notices and Monthly Statement of Accounts; and
  • ePayment and Internet banking options for commercial clients.
