Geneva's cantonal fiscal framework rests on the Loi sur la gestion administrative et financière de l'Etat (LGAF, D 1 05, 2013) and the Loi sur la Cour des comptes (D 1 10, 2005). GE is distinctive in having a full court-of-accounts model (Cour des comptes), the only canton with a collegial SAI board rather than an inspector-general model. The Cour des comptes GE has both financial/compliance and performance audit (évaluation des politiques publiques) mandate. The LGAF Art. 26 mandates October 31 budget submission to the Grand Conseil (~61 days). LGAF Art. 40 requires quarterly financial monitoring reports (rapports de suivi). The LGAF Art. 47 mandates HRM2-aligned accrual accounting (état patrimonial) including contingent liability disclosure (engagements hors bilan). The cantonal frein à l'endettement is embedded in the Constitution genevoise and the LGAF. GE is a major international finance and diplomatic centre. No standalone IFI. IVöB 2020 procurement. Currency: CHF; fiscal year: calendar year.
