capital commitments not provided for in the accounts | liability not appearing in the balance-sheet | memorandum item

The Council, while noting the fact that the revenue and expenditure account and the consolidated balance sheet faithfully reflect the revenue and expenditure for the financial year at 31 December 2000, remains concerned by the persistence of recurring errors and inadequacies which led the Court to express reservations on the subject, particularly as regards information on advances ...[+++] and payments on account, the overstatement of commitments still outstanding, "off-balance-sheet" commitments corresponding to legal obligations that have not been the subject of the required budgetary commitments and the lack of budgetary commitments.

It is an off balance sheet item that deals entirely in securities, unlike an on-balance sheet banking situation where a bank might, through the process of intermediation, lend money directly to a consumer and then follow that to its completion and ensure that payments are being made on time and so forth.

No one can predict the future, the impact of derivatives and off-balance sheet liabilities, the impact of lower stock markets, and the unstable economies of some of the world's largest countries to which these institutions want to grow to and invest in on a global basis.
