Global accounts 2022 Aggregate Financial Statements and Data - Introduction and Statements (accessible version)

Updated 7 March 2023

Applies to England

Introduction

This database contains data from the annual account regulatory returns, known as FVAs, which must be submitted by private registered providers managing at least 1,000 units and are derived from their audited financial statements.

The Global Accounts are based on this database of information.

The information received in the FVA is simply added to produce the aggregate statements of comprehensive income and financial position for the sector as at 31 March 2022.

The majority of large providers are part of a group structure. Group structures can include multiple registered providers and non-registered entities. The Global Accounts publication considers providers’ accounts on both a registered entity (entity level) and group consolidated basis (consolidated level). Both datasets are included in this file.
