Article R2242-6 of the French General Code of Local Authorities

From the time of delivery or sending into possession, the revenue or expenditure transactions affecting the assets bequeathed to a commune or communal public establishment are carried out under the control of the accounting officer of the commune or public establishment and included in his management accounts.

To this end, any person responsible for the administration or liquidation of these assets, at the end of each calendar year and by the following 31 January at the latest, sends the receiver a statement of the transactions for the year, supported by the supporting documents.

The annual statements and supporting documents, as well as the final liquidation account, are submitted to the authorising officer for approval and forwarded to the regional audit chamber with territorial jurisdiction.

Notaries are exempt from sending the original documents but, at the request of the authorising officer or accounting officer, they are required to provide certified copies.

Article R2242-6

A partir de la délivrance ou de l’envoi en possession, les opérations de recettes ou de dépenses qui affectent les biens légués à une commune ou à un établissement public communal sont faites sous le contrôle du comptable de la commune ou de l’établissement public et reprises dans ses comptes de gestion.

A cet effet, toute personne chargée de l’administration ou de la liquidation de ces biens, à la fin de chaque année civile et au plus tard le 31 janvier suivant, adresse au receveur un relevé des opérations de l’année, appuyé des pièces justificatives.

Les relevés annuels et les pièces à l’appui, ainsi que le compte final de liquidation, sont soumis à l’approbation de l’ordonnateur et transmis à la chambre régionale des comptes territorialement compétente.

Les notaires sont dispensés de l’envoi des pièces originales mais, sur demande de l’ordonnateur ou du comptable, ils sont tenus d’en fournir des copies certifiées.
