The 2022-23 Report on State Finances was tabled by the Treasurer and Minister for Trade and Investment Cameron Dick on 26 October 2023.
The 2022-23 Report on State Finances incorporates both the Outcomes Report prepared on a Uniform Presentation Framework (UPF) basis and the AASB1049 Financial Statements prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, providing a comprehensive view of the financial operations and position of the Queensland Government.

The Outcomes Report compares 2022-23 actual results with the revised forecasts contained in the 2023-24 Budget.
