TIA's Taxpayer Surplus™ measurement incorporates both assets and liabilities, not just pension debt.
Alaska has $29 billion of assets available to pay the state's bills totaling $12.9 billion.
Alaska has $16.1 billion available after bills have been paid, which breaks down to $55,100 per taxpayer.
Alaska's reported net position is overstated by $613.6 million, largely because the state delays recognizing losses incurred when the net pension liability increases.

Financial Transparency Score 2025

JULY 8, 2025

In the spirit of promoting clear and accurate fiscal information, Truth in Accounting has once again assessed the transparency of state governments’ financial reporting. While state budgets receive most of the public and media’s attention, their outcomes are detailed in each government's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), which is audited annually by certified public accountants. Our transparency score is based on key criteria outlining best practices, offering government officials and citizens a roadmap to enhance fiscal transparency and accountability.
