How to access the Common Financial Statement
The CFS is available to recognised debt advice agencies but not to the general public.
To use the CFS and access the associated trigger figures, you must apply for authorisation. Authorisation can be given to:
•a third-party organisation negotiating debt repayment offers for a client or providing financial advice on statutory debt solutions;
•an organisation involved in making decisions about debt repayment.
The CFS authorisation covers users at an organisational level. Therefore only one authorisation is required per organisation. To apply for authorisation, email the CFS mailbox:
aib_cfs_enquiries_mailbox@aib.gov.uk.
It can be accessed through case management software such as CASTLE Debt, Microsoft Excel, PETRA, PGdebt 9, IIZUKA Case Manager, AdvicePro, Liquid Advice, MACS and Topaz.
