Thank you.

When I look at accounting—and it is getting a bit more convoluted here—it's worth discussing the different methods of accounting for the budget and public accounts, where you use accrual accounting. In estimates, we use the modified cash accounting.

Can you briefly explain the two different methods, and why they apply here?
