Jaarverslag en slotwet van de Koning 2020

This is a Dutch parliamentary procedure concerning the 2020 annual report (jaarverslag) and the 'slotwet' of the King's government. The slotwet is the act that formally closes the national budget for a given year by confirming the actual spending and revenue against what was authorised by parliament. It allows the House of Representatives to check how public money was really used in 2020. The procedure mainly affects the national government and the Dutch parliament, which use it to scrutinise budget execution. Because it concerns closing accounts for a past year, it has little direct effect on citizens or businesses, though it shapes accountability for public spending.
