Local Authority Financial Statistics 2009 - 2013

This release presents annual accounting-based income, expenditure, and financial position information for each local authority in New Zealand. Its coverage is wider than the quarterly local authority statistics release (in which statistics are only available at the national level). This release also provides income and expenditure estimates for non-operating and capital transactions as well as breakdowns by activity for individual local authorities.

Local Authority Financial Statistics are no longer published in the information release format used for 2009–13. Access the latest annual data from Infoshare instead.

The survey collects information on income, expenditure, and financial position of 78 local authorities and two council-controlled organisations of Auckland Council. For most local authorities, the requested data will be based on their audited financial accounts, supplemented by information from individual local authority annual reports and subsequent enquiries to councils. Information collected from New Zealand museums are also included as these data are covered in government finance statistics (local government).
