  • Marchés publics
CONT

La création d'une réserve ou l'augmentation des fonds qui s'y trouvent en vue de parer à un passif éventuel sont considérées comme la mise de côté de certains gains afin d'être en mesure de régler des dettes éventuelles entraînées par la réalisation de futurs bénéfices, et non comme des coûts d'exploitation de l'entreprise; par conséquent, ces réserves ne sont pas des coûts imputables aux contrats du gouvernement.
