If the administrative account has not been adopted by the date of the vote on the budget for the following financial year, when the result of the operating section, the financing requirement or, where applicable, the surplus of the investment section and the allocation forecast are carried forward, under the conditions set out in the third paragraph of Article L. 3661-11, the entries in the budget are justified by the production in the appendix of a forecast results calculation sheet.
This sheet and a table showing the budget outturn are drawn up by the authorising officer and approved by the accounting officer, who accompanies them either with the management account, if it has been drawn up by that date, or with a balance drawn up after taking into account the last statement of vouchers and mandates.
The authorising officer produces a statement of outstanding commitments as at 31 December of the financial year just ended. The outstanding balances from the operating section are carried forward to the budget incorporating the anticipated results.
