Le financement hors bilan crée souvent un passif éventuel ou un engagement contractuel, obligeant l'entité à présenter malgré tout des renseignements par voie de note complémentaire, quand ce n’ est pas parfois à constater l'engagement directement dans le bilan. L'expression est notamment utilisée pour décrire une opération de crédit-bail, une cession de créances avec garantie, un contrat d’approvisionnement à long terme ou une entente sur le financement d’un projet, qui ne nécessite pas la présentation de l'obligation correspondante dans le bilan de l'entité. 1, record 14, French, - financement%20sans%20effet%20sur%20le%20bilan
