When departments have subdivided their appropriations so that the budgetary responsibility of each officer in charge of a responsibility centre is clearly designated and there is no sharing of responsibility, a memorandum system of recording commitments will usually be adequate to meet a department's needs.

CONT

Lorsque les ministères ont subdivisé leurs crédits de telle sorte que la responsabilité budgétaire de chaque agent chargé d'un centre de responsabilité est clairement définie et qu'il n'y a pas de responsabilité partagée, un système d'inscription des engagements pour mémoire répondra généralement aux besoins du ministère.
