Information on financial matters

Note by the Secretariat

By decision RC-1/1, subsequently amended by decision RC-5/1,the Conference of the Parties to the Rotterdam Convention adopted financial rules for the operation of the Conference of the Parties, its subsidiary bodies and the Secretariat. Paragraph 1 of rule 3, which deals with the budget, requires the executive secretaries to dispatch informationon actual income and expenditure for each year of the previous biennium and estimates of actual expenditures in the current biennium, to all Parties to the Convention at least 90 days before the opening of the meeting of the Conference of the Parties at which the budget for a given biennium is to be adopted.
In accordance with paragraph 1 of rule 3 the Secretariat has prepared the present note, which provides information on income and expenditures for the biennium 2014–2015 and detailed income for the year 2016for both the Rotterdam Convention Trust Fund (RO Trust Fund) and the Rotterdam Convention voluntary Special Trust Fund (RV Trust Fund). All amounts are in United States dollars, unless otherwise stated.
As mentioned in section IV below, due to the introduction of a new Enterprise Reporting System, Umoja, and the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS), the Secretariat has experienced delays in providing the most current financial status of itstrust funds.
Consequently, the present note has been revised to include annexes VII–X, which provide additional information on budget performance for the general trust funds and the voluntary special/technical cooperation trust funds for the biennium 2014–2015 and 2016–2017. In addition, annexes II and III on the status of contributions to the RO Trust Fund and on the information on Parties with arrears to the RO Trust Fund for the period 2005–2016, respectively, have been updated to reflect the status as at 24 March 2017. Furthermore, annex IV on the status of contributions for 2015 to the RV Trust Fund has been revised and annex VI on the status of contributions for 2017 to the RV Trust Fund as at 24March 2017 has been added.
The present note, including its annexes, has not been formally edited.

Certified accounts of the Rotterdam Convention trust funds

The certified and audited accounts of the Rotterdam Convention trust funds for the biennium 2014–2015 are reproduced in annex I to the present note. The accounts for the biennium 2014–2015 have been certified as correct and in accordance with the accounting policies, regulations and rules of the United Nations. The certified accounts for both Rotterdam Convention trust funds are included as an integral part of the certified accounts of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) for the biennium 2014–2015. It should be noted that as of 1January 2014 the United Nations has implemented the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) and consequently the statements for 2014–2015 are not directly comparable with financial statements issued prior to 2014 which were prepared based on United Nations System Accounting Standards(UNSAS).

Rotterdam Convention Trust Fund

For 2017, the secondyear of the biennium, the Conference of the Parties approved assessed contributions to be covered by Parties of $2,613,743. Annex II to the present note shows the status of contributions to the RO Trust Fund as at 24 March 2017, and the amount of $2,613,743represents contributions paid in full or in part by Parties or 28.6% per cent of the total amount due to the Convention for 2017.
Annex III to the present note provides information on Parties with arrears to the RO Trust Fund for the period 20052016. Unpaid contributions for 2016 and prior years, as at 24 March 2017, equalled $759,988from 65Parties. With the introduction of IPSAS, on 1 January 2014, provisions for doubtful debtare being made incrementally for contributions that are overdue for 12 months or more. The provisions reduce the overall cumulative fund balance of the Trust Fund. However, the doubtful debt remains in the accounts of the Convention and any write-off still requires the approval of the relevant legislative body.

Rotterdam Convention voluntary Special Trust Fund

At its sixth meeting, the Conference of the Parties to the Rotterdam Convention took note of the programme budget for the RV Trust Fund, totalling $4,041,011 for 2015. Annex IV to the present note provides information on the status of voluntary contributions pledged in 2015, which amounted to $765,563.The total amount pledged was collected in 2015 for the 2015 budget as at 31 December 2015.
At its seventh meeting, the Conference of the Parties to the Rotterdam Convention took note of the programme budget for the RV Trust Fund, totalling $3,158,729for 2016 and $3,241,702 for 2017. Annex V to the present note provides information on the status of voluntary contributions pledged in 2016, which amounted to $1,040,816. Out of this amount, $951,816was collected in 2016 for the 2016 budget as at 31 December 2016.Annex VI to the present note provides information on the status of voluntary contributions pledged in 2017 as at24 March 2017,indicating that the pledges for the year amounted to $339, 478. It should be noted that voluntary contributions for joint activities undertaken by two or more of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions are administered under separate grants within the Stockholm Convention voluntary Special Trust Fund. In 2016, the contributions for joint activities amounted to $2,913,721.

Administrative and financial changes within the United Nations

The first IPSAS-compliant financial statement for the United Nations Secretariat was produced for the fiscal year from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2014. IPSAS is based on full accrual accounting in line with the Generally Accepted Accounting Standards (GAAP) as opposed to UNSAS which has been based on modified cash accounting and used exclusively within the United Nations. These standards, used by public sector entities around the world, and based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), lead to better informed assessments of resource allocation decisions, thereby increasing transparency and accountability.
It was recognized that the vigorous information requirements to produce IPSAS-compliant financial statements for the Organization would require a new UN Secretariat-wide information system and consequently the Umoja project was approved by the General Assembly in conjunction with the IPSAS.The United Nations Environment Programme introduced Umoja on 1 June 2015.
The implementation of both IPSAS and Umoja has some short and long term implications on the preparation and presentation of the financial statements for the three conventions. The presentation of financial information has undergone significant changes, for example starting from 2014, the issuance of annual financial statements instead of biennial statements, annual audits, accounting for in-kind contributions, full recognition of liabilities for employee obligations such as After-Service Health Insurance (ASHI), annual leave and repatriation grants and the provisions for doubtful debt against long outstanding contributions have significantly affected the figures shown in the financial statements. Therefore, the financial statements which were prepared on an UNSAS basis for the years prior to 2014 and the financial statements prepared on the basis of IPSAS from the year 2014 onwards are not fully comparable. The organization also prepares its budgets on a modified accrual basis as opposed to the IPSAS full accrual basis.
Producing donor reports in accordance with the required format was a challenge at the onset of Umoja, particularly as the data had to be consolidated from two different systems with different dimensions. As UNEP has adapted to the new system, the data in Umojahas been structured to suit future reporting requirements. There are, however, still a few fundamental technical issues that are being looked at centrally atthe UNHQ level which are causing delays in reporting because of necessary manual interventions.
On the operational front, increasing improvements are moving UNEP beyond the teething stage and Umoja implementation is stabilizing in many areas. In particular, payroll and travel are beginning to run smoothly.
Overall, however, while UNEP has come a long way in adjusting to Umoja, the Secretariat isstill facing some challenges related to the transition into the new and still evolving operational model based on UN-wide standardized processes.
