CBC is a government owned enterprise which is legislated to generate its own income which it uses to cover capital and recurrent expenditures. The legislations also give the government the powers to order CBC to transfer all or part of the income it generates to the consolidated fund as it deems fit. Outside of these powers, its government also provide CBC with monthly subventions to cover its recurrent expenditures based on CORIS RA budgetary demands and the legal allocations by the government.

For the 2017 and 2018, CBC used the cash basis to prepare its financial statements, although some of the accounting transactions were recorded using the accrual basis. It should be noted that the government instructed all of its agencies to use an accrual basis that is guided and recommended by IPSASs.
