The Accounts follow, as far as practicable, the generally accepted accounting principles as applied to cash-based accounting and the relevant accounting standards in Hong Kong
The "Accrual-based consolidated financial statements of the Government of the Hong Kong SAR" (Statements), published as a supplement to the cash-based accounts, consolidate the accounts of the Government and Government-owned entities. They aim to present the overall financial performance and position of the Government. The Statements are compiled by drawing on the relevant International Public Sector Accounting Standards as far as practicable.
Extra budgetary items such as advance accounts, suspense accounts and deposit accounts are included. Payments under social security schemes such as the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance Scheme and the Social Security Allowance Scheme are included in government expenditure.
General government revenue and expenditure do not include those of the trading funds and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority.
