8 - The losses and special payments figures are high as they include fees charged to sequestrated estates that have not proved possible to recover from those cases.
Please note the figures for 2024 - 25 may be subject to change as the draft accounts for this period are currently being prepared for audit and approval by Parliament. Depending on clearance from the Auditor General, it is anticipated they will be published around late September or October 2025, and will be available on the AiB website - Accountant in Bankruptcy - Scotland's Insolvency Service - Accountant in Bankruptcy | Scotland's Insolvency Service
