The functions of accounting officer for the régie are performed by the commune’s accounting officer.
However, when annual operating revenue exceeds €76,225, these functions may be entrusted to an accounting officer by decision of the municipal council taken after consultation with the operating board and the departmental or, where appropriate, regional director of public finance.
The officer who performs the functions of accounting officer is appointed by the prefect on the proposal of the mayor.
He is subject to all the obligations incumbent on public accountants under the decree no. 2012-1246 of 7 November 2012 relating to public budgetary and accounting management.
The accounting officer is subject to the supervision of the departmental or, where applicable, regional director of public finance, as well as to the control of the general inspectorate of finance.
The accounting officer’s accounts are produced in the same form and within the same timeframe as those of the municipality’s accounting officer.
