Local authority surplus and deficit data is published annually by local authorities in their Annual Financial Statements (AFS) and the information is generally available on each individual local authority’s website. Each local authority is required to prepare an AFS by the end of March following year end and to publish it by the end of June. These financial statements undergo an independent audit by the Local Government Audit Service. When all audits are complete, my Department publishes a consolidated Annual Financial Statement, compiled from the AFS published by each local authority.
2024 is the latest year for which audited local authority AFS data are available. Audited data for 2025 is not yet available in my Department. According to audited local authority data from 2024, 28 local authorities had an overall surplus for the year, as set out in the table below.
