Yonkers, New York publishes annual financial information through its Transparency Portal so residents, businesses, and researchers can review the city’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFRs), audits, and budget summaries. This guide explains where to find the city’s annual financial reports, who at the city is responsible for publishing and enforcing timely financial disclosure, what penalties or remedies exist if reports are missing, and practical steps to download records or submit a request.

Where to find annual financial reports

The City of Yonkers typically posts annual financial statements, CAFRs, and audit reports on its Transparency or Finance pages. Look for sections labeled “Annual Reports,” “Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR),” or “Financial Statements” on the city’s Finance or Comptroller pages. If a direct PDF is not visible, the city may publish data through an open-data or transparency portal linked from the Finance or Comptroller pages.

Check the city Finance or Comptroller pages first for the official CAFR PDF.

Yonkers’ enforcement of financial reporting and transparency is administered by the city’s Finance Department and/or the Office of the Comptroller as designated by municipal practice.
