Annual Reports and Accounts 2024-25

We serve the Senedd to help ensure its long-term success as a strong, accessible, inclusive, and forward-looking Parliament—that delivers effectively for the people of Wales.

Our Annual Report and Accounts sets out how we’ve progressed the Senedd Commission’s priorities under our strategic goals.

Alongside performance highlights and achievements, the report offers a year-in-review: how decisions were made, how resources were used, and how we’ve been held to account.

The accounts—produced in line with HM Treasury guidance and certified by the Auditor General for Wales—form a substantial part of the report.

The past twelve months have seen our institution move at unprecedented pace to the implementation phase of its transformational change programmes – Ways of Working and Senedd Reform.
