CORIS RA is a government owned enterprise which is legislated to generate its own income which it uses
to cover capital and recurrent expenditures. The legislations also give the government the powers to
order CORIS RA to transfer all or part of the income it generates to the consolidated fund as it deems fit.
Outside of these powers, its government also provide CORIS RA with monthly subventions to cover its
recurrent expenditures based on CORIS RA budgetary demands and the legal allocations by the
government.
For the 2017 and 2018, CORIS RA used the cash basis to prepare its financial statements, although some
of the accounting transactions were recorded using the accrual basis. It should be noted that the
government instructed all of its agencies to use an accrual basis that is guided and recommended by
IPSASs.

recording, generation and preparation of accounting transactions and
IPSASs.
