Résumé anglais Reflections upon the Independence of Public Bodies. Control over public finances is very revealing of changes affecting our political systems because it provides a terrain, which is particularly apt in demonstrating certain aspects of these changes. Public power, which has greatly increased, essentially in favour of the government, has pursued a policy of rationalisation. This requires new formulations of the separation of powers not only concerning the normative and legal functions of the state, but also its entrepreneurial activities regarding management and control. The granting of an independent status for certain authorities is unfailingly justified by the specific nature of the function exercised. It is noteworthy that the improvements, which it is necessary to make to the controlling bodies, such as ensuring their independence, represent characteristics, which traditionally belong to the judiciary.
