<p /> <p>This Government takes recovery and enforcement of financial impositions very
seriously and remains committed to finding new ways to ensure impositions are paid
and to trace those who do not pay. This is why there has been a year on year increase
in the total amount of financial penalties collected over the last four years. The
amount of money collected has risen from £259m to a record of £310 million at the
end of 2014/15. This is an increase of £20m (7%) in cash collection of financial impositions
(excluding confiscation) compared to that collected in 2013/14.</p><p> </p><p>The
number of financial imposition accounts opened and closed since 2012 is published
here: (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/criminal-court-statistics-quarterly-january-to-march-2015"

</p><p>Financial impositions include fines imposed in the Magistrates and Crown courts,
costs orders, compensation orders, victim surcharge orders and unpaid fixed penalty
notices and penalty notices for disorder which are registered as fines for enforcement.</p>
