The Cour des comptes of France now presents its annual report on local public finances in two parts to improve the information given to Parliament. Part I, focusing on the financial position in 2018, was published last June; part II is focused on the situation in 2019 and beyond, as well as on an aspect of local public management – this year, the figures for the implementation of new regions – based on inspections carried out by regional and territorial Chambres des comptes of France.
