From the time of delivery or sending into possession, the revenue or expenditure transactions affecting the assets bequeathed to a commune or communal public establishment are carried out under the control of the accounting officer of the commune or public establishment and included in his management accounts.
To this end, any person responsible for the administration or liquidation of these assets, at the end of each calendar year and by the following 31 January at the latest, sends the receiver a statement of the transactions for the year, supported by the supporting documents.
The annual statements and supporting documents, as well as the final liquidation account, are submitted to the authorising officer for approval and forwarded to the regional audit chamber with territorial jurisdiction.
Notaries are exempt from sending the original documents but, at the request of the authorising officer or accounting officer, they are required to provide certified copies.
