From 40da8893bedefc9a3c88f854050670792e5d749c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gabriel Radureau Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2026 14:22:10 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?docs(prd):=20ADC=20=E2=80=94=20accounting=20dec?= =?UTF-8?q?ision=20records,=20the=20ADR=20twin=20for=20the=20books?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Operator ask 2026-07-12: an ADR-equivalent for accounting so method choices are consistent AND justifiable. Accounting scatters this across permanence des méthodes (PCG 121-5), the annexe, the organisation doc (PCG 911-3) and audit position memos; the ADC unifies them as one lightweight versioned record: MADR-lite + base légale/effective-dates/ annexe-impact fields, immutable once Accepted (supersede = the permanence principle made structural), fiscal.yaml rules cite their ADC (écriture → règle → ADC → base légale in four hops), annexe generated from the register, acceptance human-only. Seeds adc-001..007 from decisions already made this exercice; two new obligation-table rows (121-5, 911-3); expert-comptable agenda updated.
