The indentation reproduces the printed table alone, not a calculating structure. What belongs together is said by the reconciliations below — not by the margin.
Reconciliations
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.
All figures in million CHF. The allowance is half a printed digit for each figure entering the comparison — not a tolerance that swallows every difference.
