Jaarverslag en slotwet Staten-Generaal 2018

This Dutch parliamentary procedure concerns the 2018 annual report (jaarverslag) and closing budget act (slotwet) of the States General, the national parliament of the Netherlands. A closing act formally confirms how the government actually spent the money authorised in the budget for a given year, and whether spending stayed within the approved limits. The annual report accounts for the year's financial outcomes. The procedure mainly affects the Dutch government and parliament, since it is their accountability process for national finances. It does not on its own create new taxes or spending programmes. Citizens are affected indirectly, as it confirms the use of public funds.
