<p /> <p>This Government takes recovery and enforcement of financial impositions very
seriously and remains committed to finding new ways to encourage payment of impositions
and to trace those who do not pay. This is why there has been a year on year increase
in the amount of financial penalties collected over the last three years.</p><p> </p><p>The
table below shows the proportion of the value of financial impositions (made between
April 2013 to March 2014) that had been collected, cancelled or remained outstanding
as at 31<sup>st</sup> March 2014. Financial impositions include fines, prosecution
costs, compensation and victim surcharge.</p><p> </p><table><thead><tr><td><p><strong>Accounting

end of the period specified and those that were being paid by instalments on agreed
payment plans. The ‘accounts cancelled’ percentage comprises both administrative and
legal cancellations.</p>
