What schwur.ch can document about this entry’s finances — and what it cannot.
In the federal accounts.The Federal Chancellery is no segment of its own in the federal accounts. It stands with the other authorities and courts in the column «Übrige» (others). Authorities and courts · See the reconciliation
The Federal Chancellery is one of these units. Each closes its own accounts; none belongs to the Federal Chancellery.

An extract, not a department budget.The subsidies below are not a part of this closing that could be subtracted from it: they are mostly transfer spending, partly also investment contributions. They are neither a second overall figure nor a departmental total of their own.
The subsidy database keeps no credit for this entry.
Official overall closing
The overview of the statement of financial performance and the investment account, as the printed annual accounts state it for this entry: current income and spending, self-financing, the year’s result and the investments.
Published within: Behörden und Gerichte
The budget and actual accounts for the same year are shown in separate columns.
This closing stands for itself.In volume 2 each department stands for itself, including the services it buys from other departments. The Finance Administration reconciles the seven to the Confederation’s total in volume 1B and takes those services out again there. See the reconciliation

The indentation reproduces the printed table alone, not a calculating structure. What belongs together is said by the reconciliations below — not by the margin.
Every equation the table states about itself, recomputed from the printed figures — one column at a time. An equation mixing the accounts with the budget of the same year would check nothing. The raw difference stands there even when it is zero.

Gedruckte Mio. CHF, eine Nachkommastelle; Rundungsschritt 0.1. Acht der neun eigenständigen Abschlüsse aus dem Band «Behörden und Gerichte» - darunter die Bundeskanzlei. Der neunte, der Bundesrat, druckt keine Übersicht; sein Globalbudget steht als eigene Familie. Die Summe über alle neun druckt die EFV nur in Band 1B, als Spalte «Übrige».
The line labels are the Finance Administration’s original German terms. The volumes also appear in French and Italian; the German set was the one read.
The Confederation publishes these figures; schwur.ch has not read them in yet:
«Authorities and courts» is nine closings, not one.Beside the Federal Chancellery, the first volume of the departmental accounts carries the Federal Assembly, the Federal Council, the Federal Supreme Court, the Federal Criminal Court, the Federal Administrative Court, the Federal Patent Court, the Office of the Attorney General and its supervisory authority. Each of them closes its accounts for itself; none of those closings belongs to the Federal Chancellery.
Authorities and courts Nine closings, each reachable on its own, and their printed sum.
None of these lines is shown here as zero francs. Missing and zero are two different statements.

«Recipient according to the EFV» repeats the subsidy database’s entry as it stands. Whoever passes funds on, such as a foundation or a fund, is the first recipient, not the final one.
Not an official publication. The figures stand as the Federal Finance Administration publishes them; schwur.ch only rounds them.
