This web section presents the main elements of the public accounts.

The usefulness of the public accounts, the concepts essential to understanding them, and the main components of the consolidated financial statements are covered in the section Comprendre les comptes publics (in French only).

The type of entities that make up the government and the trustees are defined in the section Reporting entity and government trustees.
