DEVELOPMENT OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES' ACCOUNTING SYSTEM

A number of public administrations have broadened their accounting systems from giving information only on budget execution to be more dynamic and complete by setting out a full picture of their economic situation and of their assets and liabilities. In recent years, the European Communities have recognised the advantage of modernising their accounts to change from a system of accounts focusing on a cash-based description of budget expenditure and revenue operations to a system based on assets and liabilities with the objective of presenting the Communities' financial situation in a more comprehensive form, showing all its assets, entitlements and debts as well as the expenditure and revenue for the financial year. The Commission therefore undertook to fall into line with the approach adopted by a large number of States and supported by international bodies such as IFAC (1) and OECD. This work started in earnest in 2003 with the commencement of the ‘modernisation of the accounting system’ project, which had the aim of placing the European Communities in the forefront of the international movement towards the modernisation of public sector accounting from 2005 onwards.

The Financial Regulation (2) lays down the broad outlines of the new accounting framework for the European Communities from 2005. The transitional provisions of the Financial Regulation include the general rule that the provisions of Title VII of part one — Accounting — shall apply gradually depending on technical possibilities in order to be fully effective for the budgetary year 2005. This gradual application relates in particular to the new principles governing the Institutions' accounts.

As planned, in January 2005 the new accounting system came into use, together with a new set of accounting rules and a new chart of accounts. While the budget accounts are still based on movements of cash, the general accounts are now accrual-based. These new rules and methods are based on internationally accepted standards for the public sector — the IPSAS — and, for accounting transactions that are not yet covered by IPSAS, on the relevant IAS/IFRS. They have been adopted by the Accounting Officer of the Commission after receiving the opinion of an Accounting Standards Committee that provided independent professional guidance. The IT architecture was updated to ensure that each accounting event, and not just cash movement, may be fully registered when it occurs. Improvements will continue to be made to the IT systems to further the integration of systems and to provide better management reporting. The financial statements from 2005 onwards will be able to be produced directly from the central IT system. Directorates-Generals' internal control procedures are extended to cover accrual accounting aspects. Finally, the scope of consolidation will be extended in 2005 to include the various Community agencies.

Thus these financial statements for 2004 are the last to be prepared under the transitional provisions of the Financial Regulation. None-the-less, while not fully accrual-based, the Commission has already introduced elements of accrual accounting in the presentation of these and previous financial statements, without yet being able to apply the corresponding standards in full. For the financial year 2004 the information did not come from an integrated system of accounts, so the Accounting Officer's departments used non-accounting information from the Commission's services to complete the balance sheet and draw up its annexes.

It is also highlighted that the balance sheet and off-balance sheet presented here at 31/12/2004 will differ from the opening balance sheet that will be included in the 2005 annual accounts, since they are prepared under different rules.

PRESENTATION OF THE ACCOUNTS

1. The consolidated annual accounts are drawn up in accordance with Article 121 of the Financial Regulation of 25 June 2002 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities. They are drawn up by the Commission every year and record the budgetary and accounting data of all the European Institutions.

2. The annual accounts of the Communities are set out in three volumes: Volume I — Consolidated reports on implementation of the budget and consolidated financial statements Volume II — Part 1: Commission — Reports on implementation of the budget and financial statements Part 2: Commission — Detailed reports on implementation of the budget Volume III — European Parliament, the Council, the Court of Justice, the Court of Auditors, the Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions, the Ombudsman, the European Data Protection Supervisor and the European Coal and Steel Community (in liquidation) Under the transitional provisions of the Financial Regulation, for accounts relating to financial years prior to 2005, the Commission's accounting officer must, in accordance with Article 128(2) and Article 181(2) of the Financial Regulation, prepare the provisional consolidated annual accounts and send them to the Court of Auditors by 1 May of the following year, together with the provisional annual accounts of each Institution and body consolidated therewith in. The final annual accounts will be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities together with the statement of assurance given by the Court of Auditors by 30 November of the following year in accordance with Articles 129 and 181 of the Financial Regulation.
