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.

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.
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.

«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.
