From the time of delivery or sending into possession, the revenue or expenditure transactions affecting the assets bequeathed to a department or departmental public establishment are carried out under the control of the accountant of the department or departmental public establishment and included by him 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 no later than the following 31 January, sends the accountant 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 the accounting officer, they are required to provide certified copies.
