The budget is a single document comprising all the accounts showing the activities carried out directly by the establishment and those which it controls through the intermediary of persons dependent on it. This single nature does not prevent the budget from including, under the conditions laid down by order of the Minister responsible for the supervision of chambers of commerce and industry, groupings or subdivisions, in the form of accounting sections or otherwise, intended to individualise certain activities, in particular economic activities.
At the end of each financial year, the general meeting votes, no later than 31 May of the year following the financial year in question, on an implemented budget, which sets out the conditions under which the initial budget and the amending budgets were implemented, and on a balance sheet, profit and loss account and notes to the accounts. When several chambers of commerce and industry merge into a single chamber, the general meeting of the new chamber votes on the implemented budget for the last closed financial year of each of the merging chambers.
The implemented budgets are sent, in dematerialised form, to the supervisory minister and to CCI France within fifteen days of their adoption by the general meeting, under conditions set by order of the minister responsible for the supervision of chambers of commerce and industry.
