Annual Accounts
The Annual Accounts of the European Central Bank reflect our financial position and the results of our operations at the end of the year.
They comprise a management report, financial statements (i.e. balance sheet, profit and loss account, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes), an independent auditor’s report and a note on profit distribution/allocation of losses.
The financial statements are prepared in line with the accounting policies laid down in the relevant legislation and are specific to the European System of Central Banks and the ECB.
