The budgetary and accounting year begins on 1 January and ends on 31 December.
The College shall adopt the Agency’s provisional budget each year before the beginning of the financial year. The budget includes a forecast of the expected revenue and expenditure required to carry out the tasks entrusted to the Agency. It may be amended during the year. It shall be presented in a true and fair view. The appropriations entered in the budget are restrictive and are assessed with regard to operating expenditure excluding staff costs, capital expenditure and staff costs. In the event of a foreseeable deterioration in the result, the College shall deliberate as soon as possible on an amending decision to the budget to enable it to return to equilibrium.
If the Minister for Sport or the Minister for the Budget disagree with the annual budget, the revenue and expenditure operations are carried out, until the College has deliberated again, on the basis of the budget estimates for the previous financial year, less any appropriations allocated to non-recurring expenditure.
