The constitution of provisions for risks and charges is compulsory as soon as a risk arises and the recognition of depreciation is compulsory in the event of a loss in value of a fixed asset.
The Chairman of the Regional Council must recognise the depreciation or constitute the provision up to the amount of the loss in value recognised or up to the amount of the risk.
The depreciation or the provision must be adjusted annually according to changes in the loss in value or changes in the risk. It is written back when it has become redundant, i.e. when the loss of value disappears or the risk is realised or when the risk is no longer likely to occur.
The depreciation or provision as well as its monitoring and use are recorded on the statement of depreciation and provisions made attached to the budget and the administrative account.
