181th Book – Part IV: Federal State’s Accounts for 2023

Since the financial year 2020, the Belgian Court of Audit has had to certify the Federal State's consolidated annual accounts. In its 181th Book – Part IV, it examined the 2023 annual accounts. These annual accounts consolidated those of the general administration and of 81 other departments and public bodies. The Court was not able to obtain the necessary and appropriate audit evidence on which to base its opinion on these accounts. Like last year, the accounts contained too many significant uncertainties and shortcomings. The Court therefore issued a disclaimer of opinion in its certification report, as it did for the previous annual accounts.
