Birmingham city council's bankruptcy is primarily rooted in misinformation about equal pay liabilities and a series of financial mismanagement issues.

Birmingham City Council's Oracle Fusion implementation failed due to inadequate understanding and management, leading to a cost escalation and financial mismanagement.

Birmingham City Council's financial mismanagement stems from errors in Oracle's ERP rollout, leading to £2 billion misallocated and substantial project cost overruns.

Birmingham City Council's Oracle-based ERP system remains non-compliant, crippling financial management two and a half years post-launch.

Birmingham City Council faces a £108 million bill for its failed Oracle implementation, drastically over budget and delayed, impacting financial reporting.

Birmingham City Council's Oracle implementation disaster will cost £216.5 million by April 2026, far exceeding initial estimates and leading to substantial financial losses.

Birmingham City Council's finance system implementation continues to face delays, worsening financial management challenges.

The council's decision to implement off-the-shelf software to resolve its numerous BRS issues has also been postponed.

The Birmingham City Council reached an agreement to settle historical equal pay claims, benefiting predominantly female workers with significantly increased payouts.

The settlement will resolve equal pay claims for 6,000 women in Birmingham, addressing historical pay disparities.

Birmingham City Council has settled £760m in historical equal pay claims, marking a significant step toward financial recovery and pay justice for women.
