The regional audit chamber participates in the audit of the budgetary acts of the territorial collectivity of Corsica and its public establishments and audits their accounts, under the conditions provided for in Book VI of Part One.
It may, in addition, carry out audits at the reasoned request of either the representative of the State in the territorial collectivity of Corsica or the president of the executive council.
If the representative of the State in the territorial collectivity of Corsica considers that a decision of the board of directors of a public establishment of the territorial collectivity of Corsica is likely to seriously increase the financial burden or the risk incurred by the territorial collectivity of Corsica, he/she shall refer the matter to the regional audit chamber within one month of the date of receipt, on condition that he/she simultaneously informs the public establishment concerned and the territorial collectivity of Corsica. Referral to the Regional Audit Chamber entails a second reading of the contested decision by the Board of Directors. The referral has no suspensive effect.
The regional audit chamber has a period of one month to make its opinion known to the representative of the State in the territorial authority of Corsica, to the public establishment and to the territorial authority of Corsica.
