485. If, on the day he files a financial report provided for in section 484, an authorized independent candidate still has debts contracted during the term of his authorization or his official representative is in possession of sums of money or goods obtained by the candidate in his capacity as such, the official representative shall file a financial report with the treasurer not later than 1 April of the year immediately following each fiscal year in which the candidate remained authorized after the filing of the financial report provided for in section 484.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the official representative is not required to file any further financial reports after the filing of a financial report establishing that all the debts contemplated in the first paragraph have been paid.
The financial report of an authorized independent candidate must contain the same information, adapted as required, as that contained in the financial report of a party, except the balance sheet and the cash flow statement, and be accompanied with a copy of every receipt issued for contributions received during the period covered by the report. The first report following that provided for in section 484 must cover the period beginning on the day the latter is filed and ending on 31 December next. The report, other than that provided for in section 484, establishing that all debts contracted during the term of his authorization have been paid must cover the period beginning at the end of the period covered by the preceding report and ending on the day all debts are paid.
