Key points

Network Rail's regulatory accounts are the primary source of information about the company's regulatory financial position and performance.

Their main purpose is to inform the determination of access charges and to monitor compliance with the most recent review of access charges.

This enables robust financial monitoring of Network Rail and is useful to us, funders and other interested parties for these purposes.
