Jaarverslag en slotwet van de Koning 2011

This is a Dutch parliamentary procedure concerning the 2011 annual report and the 'Slotwet' (closing act) of the national government. The Slotwet formally establishes the final state accounts for a budget year, confirming actual spending and revenue against what was authorised by parliament. It is a routine but important step in democratic oversight of public money. The procedure mainly affects the Dutch national government and the House of Representatives, which uses it to check whether the budget was spent as approved. Ministries whose spending deviated from the authorised budget may face parliamentary questions. Citizens are affected indirectly through how public funds were managed.
