The Gexzeral Confference, at its twentieth session provided 2 surn of S26,116,000 under Part VI11 of the budget to cover the costs of the depreciation of the United States doll=. This wzs calculated on the basis of the rate of exchane of 4.35 French francs or 1.63 Swiss francs equal to one United Ststes dollaz, which was presumed to prevzil throughout 1979-1980.

During the first 20 months of the biennium the exchwge rates (except for the months May, June and July 1979 and April 1980) were consistently below the rates approved by the Gezeral Conference, and at the fime 02 the 111th session of the & a d (October 1980) it WZS assumed that the then current rakes would continue at 4.15 French frmcs and 1.65 Swiss fracs for both November and December 1980.

It was estimzted therefore thzt there would be 2 ; ~ dditional requirement in Part VIII of the budget of 51,700,000. 'This anout was thersfore transferred to Part VI11 from other parts of the budget where it was estintted that star'f costs sav5ngs had been achieved through the non-esta'alishnect of certain posts a d delay in filling vacvlt posts. With this adjustment, the total budet provision under Part VI11 :<as increased from S20,116,0C to 327,816,000.

(iv) Contrary to expectations the exchange rates for the French axd Swiss francs rose sharply during November and December:

November: 4.30FF - 1.71 SXF December: 4.45FF - 1.71 SIP

This resulted in a net surplus under ,Part VI11 of 5376,021 at 31 December 1980. Part VI11 effected at the end of the biennium, under the authority of Executive Board Decision 111 EL/10.1 V of the budget provision (5562,761) and eqenditure ($681,774) concerning currency fluctuation which was absorbed by the sectors' budgets, when the rate of exchage was below 4.35 FF and 1.63 SIP per US C01la.r as per the instructions of the Director-General.

FEPORT OF THE EXTERNAL AUDITOR ON THE ACCOUNTS OF UNESCO FOR THE TWO-YEAR FINANCIAL PERIOD

ENDED 31 DECEMBER 1980

General

1. My examination has been carried out in accordance with the Financial Regula- tions of the Organization and the "Additional Terms of Reference Governing External Audit'' appended thereto. I have also reviewed the results of the examina- tion carried out by the Internal Audit Division of the Inspectorate-General.

2. Statements I and I1 of these accounts embody all transactions relating to the two-year financial period 1 January 1979 to 31 December 1980. Corresponding stacements relating to the interim period 1 January to 31 December 1979 have already been certified and my observations upon them were contained in my Report for that period. I have reported separately on the statement showing, as at 31 December 1980, the status of the funds advanced by the United Nations Develop- ment Programme.

3. In the following paragraphs I comment on some of the more important matters arising from my examination. Some of my comments, e.g. in the section on currency fluctuations, are intended to provide relevant information on matters likely to be of general interest. Other sections draw attention to aspects of the Organization's administrative and operational activities where I consider that improvements are possible.

Statement of Appropriations etc. (Statement 1)

4. Parts I to VI1 of the Programme and Budget for 1979-1980 amounting to $276,884,000 were calculated on the basis of the US dollar/French franc exchange rate of $1 = 4.90 French francs and the US dollar/Swiss franc exchange rate of $1 = 2.48 Swiss francs. However, on the basis of the exchange rates of $1 = 4.35 French francs and $1 = 1.63 Swiss francs prevailing in October 1978 the appropriations for 1979-1980 were increased by $26,116,000 under Part VI11 of the budget, giving total appropriations of $303,000,000. This was approved by the General Conference in the Appropriation Resolution (20 C/Resolution 8.1) . During the biennium the Executive Board approved the applicatioa of donations of $89,198 and also of $2,240,000 in respect of additional agency overhead costs recoverable from the United Nations Development Programme, thus increasing the total of available appropriations to $305,329,198. Obligatior<s of $304,937,203 were incurred during the period leaving an unobligated balancp of $391,995 at 31 December 1980. Of the total of obligations incurred, $297,435,259 was in respect of the regular programme and $7,501,944 was for the participation programme; of these amounts $12,197,899 and $1,109,339 respectively were unliquidated at the end of the biennium.

Currency fluctuations -

5. Much of Unesco's expenditure is in French or Swiss francs but is accounted for in US dollars, so that variations in exchange rates affect the level of expenditure expressed in US dollars. The Appropriation Resolution required expenditure to be charged to Parts I-VI1 of the 1979-1980 budget at the exchange rates on which those Parts of the budget were calculated; but provided that if the

BOC/86 - page 24

dollar depreciated below those rates, the Director-General might use the provision made in Part VI11 of the budget to cover fluctuations in the value of the US dollar.

6. For most of the biennium, however, the United Nations operational rates of exchange for the US dollar proved to be lower than the rates on which the provision in Part VI11 of the budget was based. In October 1980 the Director-General sought the approval of the Executive Board to meet consequential additional costs of $1,700,000 out of savings in staff costs on Parts 1-111 of the budget. The Board approved the transfer of this amount to Part VI11 of the budget at their 111th session; and at their 112th session in May 1981 they approved a further transfer of $562,761 to Part VIII, which was made from Parts I-VI1 prior to the closing of the Accounts. Appropriations in Part VI11 of the budget were thus increased to $28,378,761. Allocations from this provision amounted to $28,002,740, leaving a balance of $376 , 021 which formed the major part of the total unobligated balance of appropriations at the end of the biennium (Statement I).

Income and ExDendi ture Account (Statement 11)

7. Income for the biennium totalled $313,074,964 and expenditure $304,937,203, producing an excess of income over expenditure of $8,137,761. This comprised (i) the budgetary surplus of $391,995 which will be surrendered in due course to Member Governments in accordance with Financial Regulation 4.3; and (ii) the amount of $7,745,766 by which other income exceeded the estimate: in accordance with Financial Regulation 5.2 this will be taken into account in assessing contributions from Member States for the period 1984-1985.

Statement of Assets and Liabilities as at 31 December 1980 (Statement 111)

8. As at 31 December 1980 the General Fund held cash balances of $39,740,777, of which a net amount of $12,849,032 was due to Special Accounts and Trust Funds and $1,167,320 was due to the International Institute of Educational Planning, leaving $25,724,425 as a working balance for regular programme activities. Of this balance, a net amount of $15,366,247 was provided by other Unesco funds on which surpluses are regarded as available for use by the regular programme, and $5,650,000 represented interest-free loans from four Member States. If these amounts had not been available, the regular programme cash resources at 31 December 1980 would have amounted to $4,708,178.

9. Schedules 2 and 3 show that at 31 December 1980 contributions then due from Member States totalled $12,447,200. Of this $1,680 related to the Working Capital Fund, $539,762 to the regular budgets of earlier financial periods and $11,905,758 to the 1979-1980 regular budget. At the end of 1980 total arrears of contributions less prepayments of $1,093,394, thus stood at $11,353,806 compared with $1,455,669 at the end of the previous biennium and $7,613,689 at 31 December 1979.

Public Liaison Fund (Statement VI)

10. The Financial Regulations of the Public Liaison Fund provide that surpluses arising on the Fund, not required for its sound administratim, should be transferred to the General Fund as miscellaneous income. Unesco General Conference resolutions 20 C/6/32 and 21 C/6/04, however, authorized the Director-General to use such surpluses to promote the operations of the World Federation of Unesco Clubs and Associations.

BOC/86 - page 25 11. The accumulated surplus on the Public Liaison Fund up to 31 December 1980 amounted to $2,141,707. Of this, $244,250 has been transferred to the Fund's reserves, $591,742 to the Organization's miscellaneous income and $205,700 to the World Federation of Unesco Clubs and Associations, leaving a balance of $1,100,015. In May 1981 the Executive Board approved a proposal by the Director- General, in view of the size of this balance, to transfer $800,000 to the Special Account for Increased Aid to Developing Countries. At the same time the Director- General undertook to consider the appropriateness of the provision in the Fund's Financial Regulations governing the treatment of surpluses, and to submit revised Financial Regulations to the Board at a future session.

Language allowance

12. Unesco pays language allowances totalling about $250,000 a year to staff members in the General Service category who have passed proficiency tests in a working language which is not their principal language. The current rates at Headquarters are 1,800 French francs per annum for one language and 2,700 French francs per annum for two or more languages.

13. The present system of a flat rate language allowance was introduced in 1965 fo.llowing a survey in 1964 of the best prevailing rates paid in Paris. The allowance was intended to assist recruitment and to reward staff members for a level of proficiency in a second language higher than that reflected in salary scales. The 1964 survey showed that although outside employers paid staff for using a second language, the linguistic standards were lower than those required by Unesco. However, the job descriptions used by the International Civil Service Commission (ICSC) in a salary review survey in 1978 required a very good know- ledge of one language and a good knowledge of a second language in every case. The Commission's Secretariat concluded that as all the salaries included in the survey were for bilingual jobs, no additional accountneedbe taken of the language requirement of Unesco posts. But as the Commission had previously decided to review as soon as possible the principles and conditions governing the payment of separate language allowances, they recommended, and the Organization agreed, that in the meantimethe allowances in Paris should remain unchanged.

14. In view of the evidence of the 1978 ICSC survey that language allowances may duplicate an element already taken into account in basic salaries, I asked whether the Organization considered that they were still justified. The Organization informed me that, in order to qualify for a language allowance, staff members were required to sit a proficiency examination at a substantially higher level than the tests used in the selection of bilingual secretaries. The Organization did not wish to prejudge the outcome of the proposed ICSC review and would consider the need for the allowance in the light of the Cod-ssion's conclusions. I note, however, that it is some three years since the Commission decided to carry out the review, and I trust that the Organization will make every effort to have this matter resolved as promptly as possible.

Fee contracts

15. A fee contract is an agreement for the performance of specific tasks for a fee. Most contracts specify the dates for the completion of the work and for the submission to Unesco of reports, financial statements etc. Payments under fee contracts may be made in advance of work being done or byAnstalments.

16. During 1980, the Organization reviewed all obligations raised during the 1977-1978 biennium which were still unliquidated at 31 December 1979. The review showed that for many fee contracts the required final reports or financial

~ 0 c / 8 6 - page 26 statements had not been received. My staff later examined fee contracts awarded during the 1979-1980 biennium. In several cases, there had been delays of up to twenty months before the Organization received the documentation due under the contracts.

17. In reply to my inquiries the Organization stated in March 1981 that the total amount paid during the last two biennia on fee contracts for which final reports or financial statements were still outstanding amounted to some $1.5 mil- lion. The Organization was satisfied that services had been rendered to justify $0.5 million of these payments. Although this left a balance of $1 million which was not yet justified by the services rendered, the Organization oonsidered that most fee contracts were executed satisfactorily. However, the increased number of fee contracts placed over the years, the expansion of Unesco's activities and the increased number of Member States involved tended to complicate their comple- tion. The Secretariat htid prepared comprehensive lists of contracts outstanding from the 1977-1978 and 1979-1980 biennia and would take all appropriate steps to expedite their completion or to recover amounts paid to contractors which were not justified by the services rendered. I welcome the measures proposed by the Organization to bring these contracts to a satisfactory conclusion.

Purchases and stock control of printing paper

18. In 1975 Unesco's Internal Audit Division reported that stocks of printing paper represented two years' usage and recommended a reduction in the level held. Stocks were accordingly reduced from $462,283 at 31 December 1975 to $291,582 at 31 Decemkr 1976. However, a recent examination by my staff showed that by 31 December 1980 stocks had risen again, to $850,000. In several cases large quantities of paper had remained unused for periods of up to four years mainly because the paper sizes were unsuitable for current publications. Most of this slow-moving stock, valued at $287,959 at 31 October 1980, was stored in a commercial warehouse at a cost of some $19,000 per annum.

19. The Organization informed me that it considered it prudent to hold a minimum of six months' stock of paper used for periodicals and priority publications. The current level of stocks represented about one year's usage of all types of paper and the Organizaticn would examine whether old stocks could be adapted to meet current requirements. It also intended to see whether a comprehensive system of accounting, which would assist in provisioning, could be devised for stocks of paper. I welcome the steps being taken by the Organization towards reducing stocks of paper and thereby reducing both the amount of capital tied up and the cost of storage charges.

Reimbursement of income tax

20. Some Member States levy income tax on emoluments which theirnationals receive from Unesco. The Organization reimburses to staff members the minimum amount of tax due and recovers an equivalent amount from the Member States concerned.

21. Most of the reimbursements by Unesco relate to income tax lkvied by one government. Under an agreement made in 1976 the sums due from the government are recovered by Unesco in arrears. Between 1976 and 31 December 1980 the Organization paid some $4.2 million to its staff in reimbursement of this govern- ment's tax but by the end of 1980 it had recovered only some $1.5 million of this. The loss of interest to the Organization during 1980 on the sums outstanding amounted to about $250,000. In addition, Unesco estimated that the cost of administering the tax reimbursement arrangements was $78,000 per annum.

BOC/86 - page 27 22. In September 1980 Unesco expressed concern to the government about the increas- ing sum outstanding and proposed advanced payments by the government on the basis of quarterly or half-yearly estimates. Unesco await a response to this proposal, but have informed me that they recovered a further $1.25 million in March 1981. Meanwhile, they will continue to send quarterly requests for prompt settlement and will participate fully in discussions in the United Nations Consulta- tive Committee on Administrative Questions about a possible approach to the govern- ment on the cost of administering tax reimbursement arrangements.

Review of computer installation

23. The Bureau of Data Processing Services is responsible principally for the computer system design, systems analysis and programming for Unesco's information services which include financial management, budget and accounts and payroll systems. During 1980 my staff carried out a review of the controls and procedures governing the management and security of the computer installation.

24. The review showed that there were two main weaknesses: the documentation of programs was not adequate in all cases; and the Bureau's arrangements on which the development of the major systems currently in operation had been based did not accord with the systematically planned approach which is now generally accepted as essential to the efficient development of major computer systems. Following the review, my staff suggested improvements which did not require major changes, but which would strengthen further the security and control of the installation.

25. In reply to my inquiries the Organization welcomed the suggested improvements in proce'dures and controls; recognized that program documentation could be improved; and told me that the Bureau proposed to extend to systems already in operation a method of common program documentation which it had recently begun to adopt. The Organization accepted that current standards for the development of computer systems should be introduced and informed me that it was considering establishing a Committee for Computer Systems Policy. I welcome the Organization's proposals and stress the importance of ensuring that the various phases of development of major computer applications are adequately co-ordinated and monitored in accordance with current standards.

Ex- grat ia payments

26. Five ex-gratia payments totalling $15,000 were made as described in paragraph 48 of the Director-General's Financial Report. I have examined these cases and found the payments reasonable in the circumstances.

Supplies, equipment and stock records

27. supplies, equipment and stocks with satisfactory results.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING WLICIES OF W S C O

1. ALL FUNDS

(a) Unesco accounts are maintained in accordazlce with the Financial Regula- tions of Unesco as adopted by the General Conference, the rules formulated by the Directorqeneral as required under the regulations, special regula- tions for Trust F'unds, Reserve or Special Accounts established by the Director-Cenerzl, procedures issued in the Unesco Manual, administrative instructions issued by the Comptroller and in conformity with generally accepted government accounting principles.

2.

(b) Unesco does not present a consolibted statement of income and expenditure or assets and liabilities but a note to the statement of assets and liabi- lities of the General Fund records that Unesco has residual rights of own- ership in all Self-financing funds and those Welfare funds not held in a trustee capacity.

(4 Translation of currencies. in United States dollars. Accounts maintained in other currencies are converted into United States dollars zt the time of the transactions at operational rates of exchange estzblished for United Nations programmes as applied %y Unesco. At yearend, accounts e,qressed in currencies other than United States dollars are translzted at the applicable rates of exchange then prevailing. disbursements in French francs and Swiss frzncs are translated at the con- stant rates of FF 4.90 and SF 2.48 respectively to one U.S. dollar and the difference betueen the translation at standard and operational rates of exchange is transferred to a separate appropriate line of the Budget; U- liquidated obligations are sinilarly brought to account at the closure of the financizl period.

The accounts of the Organization are presented

For the Regulzr. Budget of the Orwization all

(a) The financial period of the Organization is a biennium and consists of two consecutive calendar years.

(b) The income and expenditure and assets and liabilities are recorded and re-- ported on the accrual basis of accounting.

No provision is made for accrued annual leave, repatriation grvlt entitle- ments or to meet contingencies under the Staff Compensation Plan, since funds are provided for in the budgetary appropriations.

(c)

(d) Income other than assessed contributions or donations to the budget.

(i) Interest on investments of the General Fund and Working Casita1 Fund is reported as rniscellzneous income. On the closing of the zccounts at the end of each financial period, the balzice of the exchange variation account arising principally from con- version of currencies is added to or deducted from interesk earned.

(ii) Refunds of expenditure which had been charged in the sane fi- nancial period against the budgetay accouts are credited against the same accounts, but refxnds of ewenditure relating

BOC/86 - page 30

to prior financial periods are credited to miscellaneous income.

All moneys accepted for purposes specified by the donor have been treated as trust fmds or special accounts. moneys accepted in respect of which no purpose is specified have been treated as miscellvleous income.

However,

The proceeds from the sale of surplus property are credited to miscellaneous income.

Part refunds of pension contributions ("$ of pensionable remun- eration) in respect of participants withdrawing within five years are credited to miscellaneous income received in the first year of the biennium, but refunds received in the second year of the biennium are credited to the Regular Eudget.

Contributions from the United Nations Development Progranme to Unesco for Agency Overhezd Costs of the current fimncial per- iod are treated as other income because related overhead cost expenditure is integcated with that of the Regular Budget.

Any excess or deficit in miscellaneous income ds compared with that estimated is carried fordud and adjusted a@nst miscel- laneous income of the first avzila'ole future finurcial period.

Fixed assets - Furniture, equipment, and motor vehicles are not included in the assets of the Organization. Acquisitions are charged w i n s t budgetary zccounts in the y e a of purchase. However, the total cost price of a11 fixed zssets held by Unesco is shown as a footnote to Statement 111.

CaDital assets - Buildings are reported under the historical cost conven- tion except for donated properties where land is shown at nominal vzluation znd structures zt insurance valuation. No provision is made for deprecia-- tion of buildings. Kzjor construction in progress is shown on a separate account and is capitalized when the groject is completed. Maintenace and repairs are charged against the appropriate budgetary account s.

The finvlcial period of these funds is the calendar year.

The income and expenditure 2nd assets and liabilities or' these hnds are recorded and reported on the accrual basis of azcounting.

SPECIAL ACCOUNTS MID TRUST F'UNDS

These axe reported annually, on the receipts and pqments basis of accounting.
