For the application of 19° of Article L. 4425-29, the constitution of provisions for risks and charges is mandatory as soon as the risk arises and the recognition of depreciation is mandatory in the event of a loss in value of an asset.
The Chairman of the Executive Board must recognise the impairment or set aside a provision for the amount of the loss in value or the risk.
The impairment or provision must not exceed the amount of the loss in value or the risk.
The depreciation or provision must be adjusted annually in line with changes in the loss of value or changes in the risk. It is written back when it is no longer required, i.e. when the loss of value disappears or the risk materialises or when the risk is no longer likely to materialise.
Impairment losses or provisions, as well as the amount of the impairment loss or provision, are reviewed annually.
The depreciation or provision, as well as its monitoring and use, are recorded on the statement of depreciation and provisions attached to the budget and the administrative account.
