BSS Finances

BSS Financial Information

The Scheme aims to be self-financing.  It doesn't plan to make a profit, but nor does it aim to make a loss. Simply put, the Scheme's aim is to cover its costs.

It will continue to invest in improving customer service to all Navigation Authorities and inland waterways boaters as well as risk mitigation initiatives.

The BSS is subject to Canal & River Trust financial controls, reporting requirements and auditing processes.

At financial year-end the BSS, in conjunction with the Canal & River Trust financial team produces a set of complete and comprehensive financial accounts for the BSS, including narrative, conclusion and recommendations for the BSS Management Committee (BSSMC) reports in June/July. 

Note

It should be noted that up to 2016 costs and income below are grouped in order to facilitate publication.
