1 ex United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Executive Board Hundred and fifty-sixth Session 156 EX/32 PARIS, 22 March 1999 Original: English Item 8.5 of the provisional agenda PROPOSALS OF STANDARD MODEL TEXTS FOR FINANCIAL REGULATIONS OF SPECIAL ACCOUNTS APPLICABLE TO INSTITUTES AND SIMILAR BODIES SUMMARY In accordance with 155 EX/Decision 5.3 (para. 10), the Director- General submits herewith for consideration by the Executive Board proposals of standard model texts for Financial Regulations of Special Accounts applicable to institutes and similar bodies. Decision required: paragraph Further to the discussions in the Executive Board on the draft guidelines for the rational implementation of decentralization (155 EX/19) including the creation of additional specialized institutes and similar bodies made in the framework of UNESCO, the Executive Board invited the Director-General to propose, for consideration at its 156th session, standard model texts of Financial Regulations applicable to the Special Accounts relating to such bodies. 2. The Director-General is authorized under Financial Regulation 6.6 to establish Special Accounts, which shall be reported to the Executive Board. Furthermore, Financial Regulation 6.7 states that: The purpose and limit of each Special Account shall be clearly defined by the appropriate authority. The Director-General may, when necessary in connection with the purposes of a Special Account, prepare special Financial Regulations to govern the operation of such Accounts, which shall be reported to the Executive Board; the Executive Board may make appropriate recommendations to the Director-General thereon. 3. Consequently, Directors-General of UNESCO have reported to various sessions of the Executive Board special Financial Regulations for the Special Accounts of institutes and
2 156 EX/32 - page 2 similar bodies that have been created or incorporated into UNESCO. From Annex I, in which are listed the principal UNESCO Institutes for which special Financial Regulations have been reported to the Executive Board, it will be noted that the International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) was the first Institute in 1964 to have special Financial Regulations. These Regulations (Annex II, column 1) were used as a model for those of the International Bureau of Education (IBE), which are very similar except for Article 6 where the Comptroller decides on the investment policy of funds and Article 10.1 relating to the External Audit, where IIEP s text that The report of the External Auditor of UNESCO shall be submitted to the Board of the Institute was replaced by: The audited accounts of the Bureau, which constitute an integral part of the statement of the financial position of UNESCO, and the report of the External Auditor of UNESCO on the Bureau, shall be submitted to the Council for approval. However, as the accounts of UNESCO are not audited on an annual basis, the Council may ask for the annual accounts of the IBE to be submitted for examination to the External Auditor of UNESCO. 4. Further to the preparation of the Financial Regulations by IIEP and the IBE, the Director-General prepared other such Regulations which broadly fall into two categories that depend on the degree of financial autonomy delegated to the body and which the Director- General proposes to use as standard model Financial Regulations applicable to institutes and similar bodies created in the framework of UNESCO. 5. The first type, with least financial autonomy, follows the Financial Regulations of the International Institute for Higher Education in Latin America and the Caribbean (IESALC), which were based on those of the IBE as modified. The Executive Board in 154 EX/Decision 4.5 requested the Director-General to revise these Regulations in the light of its discussions, and in 155 EX/Decision 6.3 took note of them. These Financial Regulations are reproduced in column 2 of Annex II. 6. IESALC s Financial Regulations have been used as a model for both the UNESCO Institute of Statistics and the Institute for Information Technologies in Education in Moscow, whose Financial Regulations are being submitted to the present session of the Executive Board. There is, however, one modification with respect to Article 3.2, which refers to any case that would involve additional financial liability. The Director-General considers that only the prior approval of the respective body s Governing Board should be obtained since to obtain additionally the approval of the Executive Board of UNESCO makes for a very heavy procedure within the context of decentralization. In this respect, it should be noted that Article 7.3 of the Financial Regulations of UNESCO would apply should any such additional financial liability go beyond the resources of the body and involve the Organization as a whole. This is underscored by Article 9 - General provisions of the Special Financial Regulations. 7. The IESALC-type model Financial Regulations give less authority to the director of an institute, with the responsibility for keeping the accounting records remaining with the Comptroller. The draft standard model text based upon the IESALC Financial Regulations for those institutes with least financial autonomy is reproduced in column 1 of Annex III. 8. The second type which has complete financial autonomy delegated by the Director- General concerns the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) whose Financial Regulations are reproduced in column 3 of Annex II. ICTP maintains its own accounts, invests its own funds and has imposed upon it a biennial audit performed by the External Auditor of UNESCO. The role of Headquarters is to incorporate the Centre s accounts into
3 156 EX/32 - page 3 those of UNESCO that are submitted to UNESCO s governing bodies. In addition, the Director of ICTP has, in accordance with Article 8.1 of its Financial Regulations, established Financial Rules, which, inter alia, give the Inspector General of UNESCO access at all convenient times to all accounting records and information relevant thereto which he/she may require for purposes of internal audit and inspection missions. The draft standard model text based upon the ICTP Financial Regulations for those institutes with complete financial autonomy is reproduced in column 2 of Annex III. 9. In the light of the foregoing the Executive Board may wish to adopt a decision along the following lines: TheExecutiveBoard, 1. Having examined document 156 EX/32, 2. Approves the standard model texts for the Financial Regulations of Special Accounts applicable to institutes and similar bodies created in the framework of UNESCO as annexed to the present decision; 3. Recommends that the standard model texts be applied for any future institutes and similar bodies created in the framework of UNESCO.
