They provide a comparison with the fiscal forecasts in the Economic and Fiscal Updates and with the financial statements of the previous year. The financial statements also provide a snapshot of the progress the government has made in implementing its fiscal strategy, as set out in the Short-term Fiscal Intentions and Long-term Fiscal Objectives section of the Fiscal Strategy Report:
