At the end of each financial year, the accounting officer in office prepares the centre’s financial account for the previous financial year.
The financial account is endorsed by the authorising officer, who certifies that the amounts of expenditure orders and revenue orders are consistent with his records.
Before the end of the fourth month following the end of the financial year, the Board of Directors approves the financial account after hearing the Accounting Officer.
The financial account, together with any comments from the Board of Directors and the accounting officer, is sent by the director of the centre to the president of the regional council and the rector of the academic region within thirty days of its adoption. The financial account is also sent to the Minister for Sport for information within the same timeframe. The President of the Regional Council shall forward it to the elected regional representatives who request it in accordance with the conditions set out in article L. 4132-17 of the General Local Authorities Code.
The accounting officer produces the financial account and related documents by the end of the sixth month following the end of the financial year, in accordance with the procedures laid down by order of the Minister responsible for the budget.
The centre shall ensure that the supporting documents are kept for the period during which the public manager may be held liable.
