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.

Effective since 1 April 2025, critical infrastructure operators must report cyberattacks to the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) within 24 hours. For this purpose, the NCSC uses the Cyber Security Hub (CSH) online platform, via which reportable incidents and up-to-date threat and vulnerability data can be exchanged. The Swiss Federal Audit Office (SFAO) conducted an audit to determine whether the NCSC has a robust cyber reporting platform, both technically and organisationally, and sufficient staffing to perform its statutory tasks in connection with the reporting obligation. It concluded that CSH enables efficient report processing and that the staffing of the incident management team is sufficient.
In response to the threat of a winter electricity shortage, the Confederation gradually established a winter reserve from 2022 onwards. To secure this electricity reserve between 2030 and 2045, the Confederation plans to provide generation capacity from four reserve power plants at a cost of CHF 2.3 billion. Parliament is expected to consider the matter during the 2026 autumn session. The winter reserve is financed by consumers through a surcharge on electricity tariffs. The Swiss Federal Audit Office (SFAO) conducted its audit at the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE), the Federal Electricity Commission (ElCom) and Swissgrid. It assessed the decision-making process for determining the need for the electricity reserve, the economic efficiency of the selection and sizing of the individual reserve types, and the procurement process for the new reserve power plants. Overall, the procurement of reserve capacity was economically efficient. However, significant savings potential remained untapped in the selection and sizing of the individual reserve types.
Die Gebühren für vier ausgewählte öffentliche Dienstleistungen in Kantonen und Gemeinden deckten 2024 durchschnittlich 73,6 Prozent der Kosten. Im Vorjahr waren es 74,2 Prozent. Dies zeigen die neuen Daten der Eidgenössischen Finanzverwaltung (EFV).
RUAG MRO Holding AG (RUAG MRO) is a government-owned company. It maintains, repairs and services the Swiss Armed Forces' equipment. In 2022, RUAG MRO launched the “Command, Control, Cyber, Communications, Computers and Intelligence” (C5I) programme; C5I's origins date back to 2017. Since 1 April 2025, C5I has been a business area in its own right, supporting the digitalisation of the Armed Forces' sensor, intelligence, command and effects network. C5I generates 90% of its revenue from services for the Armed Forces Cyber Command. It earns the other 10% from services for clients within the federal government environment. C5I aims to finance the expansion of its business itself. Against this background, the Swiss Federal Audit Office (SFAO) examined whether C5I charges costs and services in a comprehensible manner and in accordance with the federal government's requirements. Overall, the audit produced a positive picture, although transparency in invoicing could be improved.
The Swiss Armed Forces need real estate to fulfil their training and operational mission. This includes barracks, military airfields and military training areas, for example. These properties are recorded in the real estate portfolio of armasuisse Real Estate (ar Immo), which had a value as new of CHF 28.4 billion at the end of 2025. Of this, CHF 23.9 billion is in the core portfolio and is therefore in longer-term use. The current geopolitical situation is leading to a realignment of the Armed Forces, which is also changing their real estate portfolio. The stationing concept originally envisaged reducing the core portfolio to CHF 20 billion. In 2022, however, this was reversed in favour of an expansion to up to CHF 30 billion. The Swiss Federal Audit Office (SFAO) examined whether ar Immo steers its portfolio with suitable instruments and, on the basis of adequate requirements, ensures that projects are carried out economically. The audit identified several areas requiring action, some of them already known: unclear user requirements, a missing strategy, insufficient steering, a backlog of repairs and a lack of standardisation. As a result, ar Immo can perform its tasks only to a limited extent. The Real Estate Board must therefore take fundamental decisions on the direction to be taken.
The Federal Chancellery's Digital Transformation and ICT Steering Sector (FCh DTI) rolled out the Microsoft 365 (M365) digital work platform across the Federal Administration by the end of 2025. M365 is intended to enable a more efficient, cloud-based work environment, but it also presents challenges in terms of information security, data protection, governance and, not least, data sovereignty. The SFAO examined whether the FCh DTI is safeguarding data and information security during use, and whether the additional features can also be used effectively. The Federal Office of Information Technology, Systems and Telecommunication (FOITT) has implemented the platform in accordance with good practice and established security controls appropriate to its currently restricted use. However, several key enhancements remain outstanding. M365 makes additional features available to Federal Administration employees.
Swissmint is continuing its four-part “Four seasons” silver coin series with the “Four seasons – Winter” special coin. Following the launch of the “Summer” special coin in June 2026, the second silver coin in the series will be released on 22 October 2026, showcasing the cold season.
On 22 October 2026, Swissmint will launch the “125 years of the Aero Club of Switzerland” 20-franc silver coin. It is the second coin in the three-part “Swiss Aviation” series and commemorates the anniversary of the Aero Club of Switzerland (AeCS).
The Federal Office of Information Technology, Systems and Telecommunication (FOITT) published the invitation to tender for the Swiss Government Cloud (SGC) on the SIMAP procurement platform on 20 October 2026. The Federal Administration's current cloud infrastructure is reaching its limits and can no longer meet the demands of digitalisation. The new cloud infrastructure is intended to form a basis for the digital transformation of the administration and combine innovative cloud services with high security standards.
