If the administrative account has not been adopted by the date of the vote on the budget for the following financial year, when the result of the operating section, the financing requirement or, where applicable, the surplus of the investment section and the allocation forecast are carried forward, under the conditions set out in the fourth paragraph of Article L. 3312-6, the entries in the budget are justified by the production in the appendix of a forecast results calculation sheet.
This sheet and a table showing the budget outturn are drawn up by the authorising officer and approved by the accounting officer, who accompanies them either with the management account, if it has been drawn up by that date, or with a balance drawn up after the last voucher and mandate slip has been taken into account.
The authorising officer produces a statement of outstanding commitments as at 31 December of the financial year. Outstanding balances from the operating section are carried forward to the budgetary decision on the early recovery of results.
