Why we’re doing this

Each year, individual local governments across NSW are required to present a set of audited financial statements. In accordance with Section 418 (3) of the Local Government Act, 1993, City of Sydney advises that the Ordinary Council Meeting to be held on 21 November 2022 will include the presentation of the audited Financial Reports and the Auditors Reports for the financial year ending 30 June 2022.

The statements set out the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the council for the financial year ending 30 June 2022. They also contain explanatory notes for the major components of income and expenditure and the financial position of assets and liabilities.

The annual financial statements comprise:

  1. General purpose financial statements
  2. Special purpose financial statements
  3. Special schedules.

The City of Sydney 2021/22 financial statements are prepared in line with Australian accounting standards and interpretations from the Australian Accounting Standards Board, the Local Government Act 1993 and the Local Government Code of Accounting Practice and Financial Reporting.
