Due to the fact that in the budget system most of the financial reports for 2014 are to be submitted until 15 February 2015, the data on the accounts should be checked. The check-up of the data on the accounts is one of the forms of preparations for determination of the business results. Besides the data on the accounts, the system of recording of the business events of the same kind should be checked, as well. The budgetary accounting for 2014 did not undergo any changes, so the system of checking up is the same as the system applied in 2013.

In the system of budgetary accounting the adjustment of the records with the real state of the assets and liabilities is based on the annual listing (stocktaking). The accounting regulations of the budget system have introduced the rules of stocktaking and the way of presenting the stocktaking differences in business records. Due to the fact that there were no changes in the system of budgetary accounting in 2014, the stocktaking and all the related activities remain the same as those in 2013. There are no differences in recording of stocktaking differences, either.
