HM Treasury Publishes Whole of Government Accounts 2024-25

HM Treasury released the Whole of Government Accounts (WGA) for the 2024-25 financial year, providing a consolidated statutory audit of the UK public sector's financial position. The report serves as the definitive record of the state’s assets, liabilities, and contingent risks, including long-term pension obligations and nuclear decommissioning costs. This publication is critical for institutional actors to benchmark public sector solvency and assess the macroeconomic stability of the UK investment environment.

Strategic Governance Impact

Structural governance significance — not general importance.

15 / 100

Operational information

This is a routine, retrospective financial report consolidating UK public sector accounts for the past fiscal year. It does not introduce new accounting standards, regulatory obligations, or governance frameworks for either public or private organizations. Executive decision-making and operational risk management structures remain unchanged by this publication.

Exposure pathway

Chief Financial Officers and Treasury departments of public bodies are directly exposed to the consolidation requirements and audit standards set by the WGA. Private sector contractors and financial institutions are indirectly exposed through the disclosure of government-wide procurement liabilities and credit risk profiles.

What may need to be proven

Public entities must provide granular data reconciliations that align with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adapted for the public sector. Organizations must be prepared to evidence the valuation of long-term provisions and the impact of inflation on multi-year government contracts.
