Article R2221-30 of the French General Code of Local Authorities

The duties of accountant are entrusted either to an accountant from the Directorate General of Public Finance or to an accounting officer. The accounting officer is appointed by the prefect on a proposal from the board of directors, after receiving the opinion of the departmental or, where applicable, regional director of public finance. He or she may only be replaced or dismissed in the same manner.

However, for régies created from 1 July 2020, the choice to entrust the duties of accounting officer to an accounting officer from the general directorate of public finance is subject to the assent of the departmental or, where applicable, regional director of public finance.

Article R2221-30

Les fonctions de comptable sont confiées soit à un comptable de la direction générale des finances publiques, soit à un agent comptable. Le comptable est nommé par le préfet sur proposition du conseil d’administration, après avis du directeur départemental ou, le cas échéant, régional des finances publiques. Il ne peut être remplacé ou révoqué que dans les mêmes formes.

Toutefois, pour les régies créées à compter du 1er juillet 2020, le choix de confier les fonctions de comptable à un comptable de la direction générale des finances publiques est subordonné à un avis conforme du directeur départemental ou, le cas échéant, régional des finances publiques.
