Financial Documents

Throughout the year, the City releases various financial reports like the Financial Plan and Quarterly Financial Reports to Council. View the latest financial documents below.

The City of Surrey produces various financial reports each year, including Quarterly Financial Reports, Financial Plan, Annual Financial Report (Annual Municipal Report) and Statements of Financial Information (SOFI).

We make these reports public as part of our commitment to public accountability and transparency. As a result of these efforts, we were proud to be the recipients of the following Government Finance Officers Association awards: Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, Canadian Award for Financial Reporting and Popular Annual Financial Reporting Award.

The following reports are available on this page:

  • Quarterly Financial Reports
  • Financial Plans
  • Annual Financial Reports and Annual Financial Report Highlights
  • Statement of Financial Informations (SOFIs)

Quarterly Financial Reports

A Quarterly Report is presented to Council three times a year, in April, July and October. Quarterly reports are prepared to demonstrate public accountability by providing information on the City’s financial results.

These reports provide Council with an economic overview of the Global, U.S., Canada and B.C. economies, as well as Surrey’s economy, which is presented through building and business statistics. In addition, this report also includes the status of the City’s investment portfolio as well as an explanation of Departmental variances to the Financial Plan.

Financial Plans

The Financial Plan provides detailed funding requirements over the next 5 years, and also articulates financial priorities and issues. It helps staff manage day-to-day operations by providing financial and policy information and by identifying financial and staffing resources available to provide services.

The Plan serves as a communication device that gives all readers a comprehensive look at the services provided by the City and the costs related to those services. The City's Financial Plan Summaries are available for download.

Annual Municipal Reports

The Annual Financial Report (Annual Municipal Report) serves as an opportunity to communicate with citizens, stakeholders and others regarding the City’s activities, accomplishments and performance measures by department. Pursuant to s.98 of the Community Charter all municipalities are required to prepare an annual report. The report also includes statistics for the year completed, along with the City's audited financial statements.

Statement of Financial Information

The Statement of Financial Information (SOFI) includes, for the year being reported, the City’s audited financial statements and information regarding remuneration paid to the Mayor and Council, the remuneration paid to every employee that the City paid more than $75,000, the amount paid to any supplier of goods and/or services to which the City paid more than $25,000, and all grants paid by the City.
