OBS

A statement which discloses the government's cash balances and investments, and amounts owing to and by the government at the end of the year. It differs in some ways from a conventional private sector balance sheet. Two major differences concern items that are not reported on this statement: capital assets, having been accounted for as expenditures, and tax revenues receivable since tax revenues are reported on a cash basis. The difference, therefore, between total assets and total liabilities is simply the aggregate of annual budgetary deficits and surpluses determined in accordance with the accounting policies of the government.

OBS

État qui présente les soldes en caisse et les investissements du gouvernement, ainsi que les montants dus, au gouvernement ou par celui-ci, à la fin de l'exercice. Il diffère d'une certaine façon du bilan conventionnel propre au secteur privé. Deux différences majeures sont l'absence d'immobilisations, lesquelles ont été comptabilisées comme dépenses, et de débiteurs relatifs aux recettes fiscales, car ces recettes sont présentées selon la méthode de la comptabilité de caisse. Par conséquent, la différence entre le total de l'actif et le total du passif représente l'ensemble des déficits et des excédents budgétaires annuels déterminés selon les conventions comptables du gouvernement.
