Statement of accounts
2011 statement of accounts
On Thursday 2 August we published the 2011 statement of accounts for parties and accounting units with income and/or expenditure over £250,000 on PEF Online. PEF Online allows users to search statement of accounts down to the category level. However, we only published the original document and the headline figures for income and expenditure at this time.
You can also view trends of income, expenditure and net assets (or liabilities) for those political parties at the link below:
The 2011 statement of accounts for parties and accounting units with income and/or expenditure under £250,000 can also be viewed on PEF Online.
Previous statement of accounts
2011 was the first set of accounts to be published on PEF Online. Accounts for 2010 and earlier can still be accessed from the statement of accounts page on our website. We intend to publish all historic statement of accounts on PEF Online when resources become available.
Unincorporated associations
Unincorporated Associations that donate more than £25,000 in a calendar year are required to register with us and report gifts in excess of £7,500.
