Profits from the operation of a health centre may not be distributed.
They must be placed in reserve or reinvested for the benefit of the health centre concerned or of one or more other health centres or another not-for-profit structure managed by the same management body.
The manager’s accounts make it possible to establish compliance with this obligation for each of the health centres it manages.
The manager’s accounts are certified by an auditor when they meet the criteria laid down by decree. This decree sets out in particular the procedures for sending the accounts to the director general of the regional health agency and to the social security bodies.
