Article L712-8 of the French Commercial code

When the provisional budget of an establishment or the budget implemented during the previous financial year shows a deficit that is not covered by available surpluses, when compulsory expenditure has not been entered in the budget or has not been mandated, or when serious malfunctions are noted that jeopardise the financial equilibrium of the establishment, the competent authority, after applying an adversarial procedure, adopts the budget and may entrust the departmental director of public finance with the duties of treasurer.

Article L712-8

Lorsque le budget prévisionnel d’un établissement ou le budget exécuté au cours de l’exercice écoulé fait apparaître un déficit non couvert par les excédents disponibles, que des dépenses obligatoires n’ont pas été inscrites au budget ou n’ont pas été mandatées, ou que des dysfonctionnements graves, mettant en péril l’équilibre financier de l’établissement, sont constatés, l’autorité compétente, après application d’une procédure contradictoire, arrête le budget et peut confier au directeur départemental des finances publiques les fonctions de trésorier.
