Annual accounts and audit
Oxfordshire County Council statement of accounts.
Statement of Accounts 2024/25
Under the Accounts and Audit (England) Regulations 2015, the Council was originally required to publish its unaudited Statement of Accounts for the financial year ending 31 March 2025 by 31 May 2025.
However, due to the ongoing impact of the national local audit backlog, Section 9A of the Regulations amended the deadline for the publication of the accounts to 30 June 2025. Accordingly, the unaudited Statement of Accounts was published on 30 June 2025.
The Statement of Accounts (pdf format, 4.2MB) outlines the Council’s financial position as at 31 March 2025 and includes the Narrative Report and the Annual Governance Statement. Please note that these accounts are unaudited and may be subject to change.

Previous years
The law requires that our statement of accounts is signed as approved by certain members and officers of the council and that the audit report is signed by the council's external auditor. A number of frauds have been carried out against bodies that publish signatures on the internet and, for this reason, the signatures of members and officers in our accounts have been removed.
