Director-General's report I. Introduction I am pleased to present the Financial Report of WHO for the period 2004-2005. The Report is submitted in accordance with article 34 of the Constitution and with WHO's Financial Regulations. The Financial Report for the biennium 2004-2005 has been prepared in accordance with United Nations System Accounting Standards and WHO's Financial Regulations and Financial Rules. It covers the regular budget as adopted by the Health Assembly1/ and expenditure financed from other sources, as noted by the Executive Board2/. Implementation of the programme budget is presented in the same format as the proposed programme budget 2004-2005 submitted to the Health Assembly3/ which includes the budget for other sources, thus showing the total financial position in respect of each area of work. Preparation of this Financial Report continues the process of improving the transparency and accessibility of financial information presented by the Organization. The Financial Report of WHO is an important element in the overall framework of accountability and financial integrity of the Organization. It enables Member States and other partners and collaborators to see how their funds have been used. The assets and liabilities of the Organization are also detailed, and the cash-flow analysed, to enable readers to understand the financial status of the Organization. The statutory components of the Financial Report have been audited by the Organization's External Auditor, whose opinion is included. The long-form report of the External Auditor is also included as part of this Report.

The increase in income from other sources reflects the continually changing pattern of funding the Organization. In 2004-2005 the regular budget represents 31% of the total budget, compared with 38% in 2002-2003, and only 29% of the actual total income in 2004-2005, compared to 39% in 2002-2003. Total income in 2004-2005 for WHO programme activities was US$ 2,984 million, which represents a 37% increase on US$ 2,173 million income for 2002-2003. The higher level of income has enabled WHO to meet the significantly increased programmatic activity that was planned for the 2004-2005 biennium. The rise in the United States dollar value of other sources by 61% has contributed to this growth. The trend of rising income and expenditure/implementation highlighted in Figure 1 below are welcome in view of the increasing demands being made on the Organization. Figure 1.

Total Other sources Regular budget
Expenditure of US$ 2,729 million was incurred in achieving the expected results for the biennium 2004-2005 against a total budget for WHO programme activities of US$ 2,824 million resulting in an overall financial implementation rate of 97%. Within this figure, the implementation rate for the regular budget was 99%. This is the highest rate achievable given the need to withhold some of the budget as a contingency in view of the possibility of non-payment of assessed contributions by some Member States, and in respect of which it was not prudent to increase borrowing. For other sources the rate achieved was 96%. The continuing growth in funding for the Organization is most encouraging and the budget implementation rate achieved is excellent.
III. Financing the budget Total programme income has increased by 37%. Other sources increased by 61%, which has helped to offset the almost static regular budget. This has fundamentally shifted the overall funding structure of the Organization (see Figure 2 below). Figure 2. Assessments and other sources 2002-2005 Total Other sources Assessed contributions

During the biennium, the evolution of other sources income has not always been consistent. Timing of receipt of large contributions and significant shifts in income from certain United Nations trust funds can cause availability of resources to be uneven in terms of both timing and alignment with the approved programme budget. A full analysis of other sources for 2004-2005 is contained in the Annex to the Audited Financial Report for the biennium 2004-2005.1/ Member States are the most important source of other sources funds, representing approximately 63% or US$ 1,268 million of all other sources income during the biennium 2004-2005, compared to approximately 58% or US$ 789 million during 2002-2003, as illustrated in Figures 3 and 4 below.

Combining regular budget and other sources, Member States provided 71% of the total income in 2004-2005, compared to 76% in 2002-2003. Total contributions from Member States, including both regular budget assessments and other sources for the biennium 2004-2005 and for the biennium 2002-2003 are shown in Figures 5 and 6 below. These charts indicate that the Organization continues to rely heavily on a relatively small number of Member States as a major source of financing of the budget.

The regular budget is financed by assessed contributions and Miscellaneous Income. Net assessments in 2004-2005 were US$ 863 million, of which US$ 810 million was collected during the biennium, a collection rate of 94%, which is consistent with recent bienniums. In order to achieve the regular budget implementation rate of 99%, the Working Capital Fund of US$ 31 million was fully drawn down and was supplemented by US$ 13 million of internal borrowing. Although the overall implementation rate of 97% is an excellent achievement, it was reached only by resorting to borrowing, and it is a concern that in 2004-2005 US$ 53 million, or 6% of assessed contributions, were not paid. Total unpaid assessed contributions, including amounts due for previous financial periods, are US$ 146 million. Within this figure, long-term arrears stand at US$ 93 million, having increased from US$ 88 million at the end of the biennium 2002-2003. Discussions are under way with a number of the concerned Member States to resolve these longstanding arrears through repayment plans that are submitted to the Health Assembly for approval. I am pleased to note that a number of such repayment plans were approved during the biennium, and that as a result some Member States with longstanding arrears have recently resumed payments. I take this opportunity to encourage those Members States which experience difficulty in paying their arrears to discuss payment arrangements with the Secretariat so that their proposals may be submitted to the Health Assembly for its consideration. Miscellaneous Income is used to finance the regular budget by reducing the amount payable on assessed contributions. For 2004-2005, US$ 36 million was budgeted to finance in part the regular budget and to meet the requirements of the adjustment mechanism and the financial incentive scheme.
IV. Expenditure During 2004-2005, country and regional offices accounted for 62% of expenditure, and headquarters for 38%. This compares with 56% for country and regional offices and 44% for headquarters in 2002-2003. Figure 7 below shows, as a percentage, expenditure from all sources of funds by office, i.e. headquarters and each regional office (including country offices) for 2004-2005 and for 2002-2003. The biennium 2004-2005 shows a welcome reversal of the rising trend of expenditure by headquarters evidenced in 2002-2003. Figure 7.

Detailed information by area of work and by office is shown in the section Financial Implementation of WHO's Programme Budget 2004-2005, Tables 1 to 4 of this Report. Table 2 summarizes expenditure by area of work for all offices by regular budget and by other sources. The areas of work with the biggest expenditures are immunization and vaccine development (which includes eradication of poliomyelitis); emergency preparedness and response, and information technology and infrastructure services. Implementation rates for areas of work for 2004-2005 vary from 208% for emergency preparedness and response to 57% for women's health. Such variations stem largely from the uneven patterns of income noted above.

Financial implementation by category of expenditure for 2004-2005 and 2002-2003 is shown in Figure 8 below.
Figure 8. Financial implementation by major category of expenditure 2004-2005 and 2002-2003 (US dollars thousands)
2004-2005 Category of expenditure Staff costs Supplies, materials, communications, contributions in kind Local cost-subsidies Contracts, translations, printing, data processing Consultants/temporary advisers Furniture and equipment, including information technology Travel on official business Fellowships and other educational activities Research contracts US$ 1 222 532 427 332 113 105 92 69 55 % 40 17 14 11 4 4 3 2 2
2002-2003 US$ 934 382 317 251 117 140 73 66 55 % 40 16 14 11 5 6 3 2 2
The most significant category is staff costs, reflecting the fact that WHO is a technical organization. The recent creation of the knowledge management programme, and considerable investments in staff development, staff security and other initiatives related to human resources help to ensure that the personnel receive appropriate support. Expenditure on local cost-subsidies, supplies, materials, telecommunications and fellowships helps to support much of WHO's work in countries. More detailed information on financial implementation by category of expenditure and by type of fund for 2004-2005 is contained in the section on Financial Implementation, Table 6 of this Report.
V. Liquidity management The financial stability of the Organization depends not only upon timely receipt of income but also on effective management of liquidity and foreign-exchange risk, and on appropriate investment and foreignexchange policies. In this regard, I receive advice from an expert advisory committee that regularly reviews performance and makes recommendations on the strategy to adopt in the light of market conditions, and given the paramount importance of preserving capital. Investment management operations Total cash and investments for the Organization at 31 December 2005 were US$ 1,797 million, the investment of which is summarized in Schedule 1 of this Report. These investments represent cash and investment assets for fund balances which total US$ 1,442 million, as shown in Statement I. The balance of US$ 355 million represents mainly funds for unliquidated obligations, and Member States advance payment of assessed contributions for 2006. The investments are primarily short term, being held in respect of programmes financed under the regular budget, and other resources, for which cash has yet to be expended. A total of US$ 370 million are held for longer term funds, primarily the Staff Health Insurance Fund and the Terminal Payments Account, and a total of US$ 325 million is invested on behalf of non-WHO entities.
A59/28 Page 9
Foreign currency hedging operations The value of certain non-dollar regular budget expenditures has been protected from the impact of the declining value of the United States dollar during the biennium. Protection is effected by entering forward currency and option contracts. A total of US$ 30 million was credited against regular budget expenditures in 2004-2005, resulting from the cash flow of these operations. Hedging operations, however, can only protect the Organization from the exchange-rate fluctuations during the current biennium. For the biennium 2006-2007, it is expected that the weaker dollar will have a significant impact on the purchasing power of that budget, particularly in relation to disbursements in Swiss francs, euros and Danish kroner. Compared with 2004-2005, it is estimated that the dollar cost of non-dollar expenditures may be approximately US$ 50 million higher in 2006-2007. Comparing 2002-2003 with 2004-2005, the difference due to the weaker dollar is approximately US$ 100 million. VI. Conclusion I have noted the comments made by the External Auditor in his long-form report to the Health Assembly included in this Report. All the matters raised will be considered promptly by the Secretariat and appropriate action will be taken. The growth in financial resources and increasing complexity of the demands being made upon the Organization pose challenges for future financial management. Many of the policies and procedures that underpin accountability and financial integrity were developed for a centralized Organization and are supported by information technology systems that reflect this centralized approach. With the creation of the global management system, modern financial-management policies and practices are being established on the basis of the best practice followed in the public and private sectors. These new policies will be implemented in 2006-2007 and will lead to greater simplification and clarity in WHO's financial reporting.

Dear Sir/Madam
I have the honour to present to the Fifty-ninth World Health Assembly my Report and Opinion on the Financial Statements of the World Health Organization for the financial period 1 January 2004 to 31 December 2005. In transmitting my Report I wish to advise that, in accordance with the World Health Organization's Financial Regulations, I have given the Director-General the opportunity to comment on my Report and it is issued on the basis of the assurance that he does not have any significant comment.

Opinion of the External Auditor
To the World Health Assembly We have audited the accompanying financial statements, comprising Statements I to IV, Schedules 1 to 11 and the supporting Notes of the World Health Organization for the financial period ended 31 December 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Director-General. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Common Auditing Standards of the Panel of External Auditors of the United Nations, the specialized agencies and the International Atomic Energy Agency and conforming with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, and as considered by the auditor to be necessary in the circumstances, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Director-General, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for the audit opinion. In my opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all respects, the financial position of the World Health Organization as at 31 December 2005 and the results of operations and cash flows for the period then ended in accordance with the stated accounting policies set out in the Statement of Accounting Policies, which were applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding financial period. Further, in my opinion, the transactions of the World Health Organization which we have tested as part of our audit have, in all significant respects, been in accordance with the Financial Regulations and Legislative Authority. In accordance with Regulation XIV of the Financial Regulations, I have also issued a long-form report on my audit of the World Health Organization's financial statements.

Notes to the accounts
1.
Statement of objectives 1.1 The objective of the World Health Organization, contained in Article 1 of the Constitution, is the "attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health". 1.2 In order to achieve this objective, the functions of the Organization have been established and are contained in Article 2 of the Constitution. 1.3 The General Programme of Work 2002-2005, approved by World Health Assembly resolution WHA54.1 provides the policy framework for the Programme Budget 2004-2005. 1.4 The Fifty-sixth World Health Assembly in May 2003 (WHA56.32) resolved to appropriate an Effective Working Budget of $ 880.1 million for the financial period 2004-2005. The Health Assembly also noted estimated expenditure of $ 1 825 million to be financed from other sources. This figure was subsequently revised upwards to $ 1 944 million as noted by the 113th Session of the Executive Board in January 2004.
2.
Statement of accounting policies 2.1 General accounting policies The accounting policies and financial reporting practices applied are based upon the WHO Financial Regulations and Financial Rules. Where the Regulations and Rules do not provide explicit provisions, the requirements of the United Nations System Accounting Standards (UNAS) apply. The financial statements, accompanying notes and schedules are in accordance with the UNAS and are drawn up on the basis of the formats defined therein. 2.2 Presentation of financial statements The financial statements, notes, schedules and accompanying tables are presented in US dollars. All assets and liabilities, including accounts receivable and payable, are pooled within the Organization’s books of account. 2.3 Foreign currency translation Translation into US dollars of transactions expressed in other currencies is effected at the prevailing United Nations accounting rate of exchange, as applicable at the date of the transaction. However, imprest account expenditure transactions are accounted for at the accounting rate of exchange in effect at the date expenditures are recorded in the main accounts. Assets and liabilities held in other currencies at the end of the year are also translated into US dollars at the United Nations accounting rate of exchange prevailing for the month of December of the closing year. However, when significant changes occur in the exchange rates at the end of the year, the rates used “as at 31 December” are those in force on 1 January of the subsequent year. In the current financial period, no substantial change occurred between the exchange rates in force at the end of 2005 and those in force on 1 January 2006. 2.4 Accounting for exchange differential Exchange rate gains and losses on the purchase and sale of currencies, revaluation of cash book balances, and all other exchange differences are adjusted against the funds and accounts participating in the apportionment of interest under the WHO general investment plan.
A59/28 Page 30
2.5 Assessed contributions Income from contributions from Members and Associate Members for the effective working budget 20042005 is recorded on the basis of assessments approved by the World Health Assembly. In accordance with Financial Regulation 7.1, pending receipt of assessed contributions, implementation of the regular budget may be financed from the Working Capital Fund and thereafter by internal borrowing against available cash reserves of the Organization, excluding Trust Funds. A provision is established for delays in collection of contributions amounting to 100% of the assessed contributions outstanding at 31 December 2005. The total amount of the provision is shown in Schedule 4. When outstanding assessed contributions are paid, the amounts are credited first against any outstanding internal borrowing and then against any borrowing from the Working Capital Fund. In accordance with Financial Regulation 8.1 (h), any payments of arrears of contributions due from Member States that are not required to repay borrowings from internal borrowing and from the Working Capital Fund are credited to Miscellaneous Income. 2.6 New and formerly inactive Members Income from assessed contributions from new and formerly inactive Members is subject to Financial Regulation 6.12. Such income is recorded on a cash basis (i.e. as received) and is credited to Miscellaneous Income. 2.7 Tax Equalization Fund In accordance with Health Assembly resolution WHA21.10, under which the Tax Equalization Fund was established, the assessed contributions of all Members are reduced by the income generated by the staff assessment plan. In determining the reduction of assessed contributions to be applied to the Members concerned, the Tax Equalization Fund is credited with the revenue from the staff assessment plan, the credits being recorded in the name of individual Members, in proportion to their assessments for the relevant financial period. For those Members that levy income tax on emoluments received from the Organization by their nationals or others liable to such taxes, the credit from the staff assessment plan is charged with the estimated amount to be levied by those Member States. Those amounts which have been charged are, in turn, used by the Organization to reimburse income tax paid by the staff concerned. 2.8 Voluntary contributions Voluntary contributions for WHO programme activities are recorded on a cash basis. Contributions in kind or in services received by WHO are recorded upon receipt. They are treated both as income and expenditure in the Voluntary Fund for Health Promotion where they are recorded at a fair value based on estimates provided by the donor. 2.9 Letters of credit The funds available from donors under these facilities are recorded as income in the accounts of the Organization when actually drawn down, according to programme requirements. 2.10 Other trust funds WHO administers other trust funds and entities that do not form part of WHO’s programme activities; contributions for these trust funds and entities are also recorded on a cash basis. 2.11 Revenue-producing activities Income is recorded on a cash basis. 2.12 Interest income Interest earned on funds and accounts invested on a pooled basis is apportioned monthly in proportion to their capital at the end of each month. Earnings on investments made for specific funds are credited directly to the funds concerned. Interest is adjusted by the exchange differential arising from currency and revaluation operations. Interest earned and apportioned during the financial period to specific WHO accounts, trust funds and the Voluntary Fund for Health Promotion, is retained for use within those accounts and funds.
A59/28 Page 31
2.13 Expenditure Expenditure (obligations) under all funds administered by WHO for technical assistance, supply services and other WHO programmes is recorded on an accrual basis. With the exception of some activities financed under interagency arrangements (e.g. United Nations Development Programme, United Nations Population Fund and other United Nations organizations for which WHO is executing agency) expenditure is established in accordance with Financial Regulation IV and Financial Rule VI. Where expenditure against the aforementioned funds is provided under interagency arrangements, such expenditure is established and maintained in accordance with the financial regulations of the respective funding agencies. For other trust funds and entities administered by WHO and which do not form part of WHO programme activities, expenditure is recorded on an accrual basis. That part of an obligation which has not yet been paid (i.e. an outstanding liability) is shown in the balance sheet as an unliquidated obligation. 2.14 Savings on prior periods’ unliquidated obligations Unliquidated obligations relating to prior financial periods are settled during the current financial period in accordance with Financial Regulation 4.5. Variances on settlement are debited/credited to the relevant fund. 2.15 Eliminations The accounts of the Organization incorporate programme activities under the regular budget and those under extrabudgetary sources of financing, other WHO funds and associated entities. In order to preserve fund integrity and for transparency, income and expenditure are recorded separately for each individual fund. Income can be transferred from one fund to another fund in which case the amount is recorded as expenditure in the originating fund and as income in the receiving fund. However, income and expenditure are also consolidated in the Organization’s accounts and financial statements to give an overall picture of the costs of WHO programme activities and of other entities administered by WHO. In such circumstances, consolidation produces a duplication of income and expenditure which must be eliminated in order to reflect the net costs of programme delivery. Programme support costs (PSC) are recorded both as income and expenditure through the accounting for extrabudgetary funds and the Special Account for Servicing Costs giving rise to duplication on consolidation which must also be eliminated. 2.16 Cash at banks and in transit and on hand Imprest account balances only reflect disbursements recorded up to 30 November 2005 in order to ensure a consistent cut off throughout the Organization. Disbursements that have not been accounted for in December 2005 will be accounted for against the liquidation of the relevant expenditure (obligations) and bank balances in 2006. 2.17 Deposits and securities Funds in currencies other than US dollars are accounted at their US dollar equivalent based on the United Nations accounting rate of exchange. Securities are accounted for at current market value. Market values are determined using the market price for a particular security on the last business day of the year. In accordance with Financial Regulation 11.1, funds not required for immediate use may be invested. All investments are carried out within the framework of investment policies approved by the Director-General. These policies are regularly reviewed by the Advisory Investment Committee, which includes external investment specialists. The Committee makes recommendations to the Director-General as and when the Committee considers it appropriate. The Investment Policy reflects the nature of the WHO funds, which may be held for the shortterm, pending programme implementation, or for the longer term in order to meet liabilities under the Staff Health Insurance Fund and other long-term funds of the Organization. Investments are recorded at current market value and investment income is recorded on an accrual basis. However, for the structured investment products of which the calculation of interest rate will not be made until the end of the interest period, the income is recognized on a cash basis and the accrued interest is not recorded.
A59/28 Page 32
2.18 Capital assets and Members’ equity in capital assets The value of capital assets represents the cost at the time of acquisition or construction or, in the case of donated properties, the value as advised by the donor. No adjustment is made for depreciation. In certain regional office locations, WHO occupies premises made available to it by the host country concerned, either at no cost or on a rental basis. The costs of improvements or extensions to such premises which have been borne by WHO are not recorded as capital assets in the accounts of the Organization but are charged to expenditure. 2.19 Non-expendable equipment In accordance with established accounting policy, non-expendable equipment (including furniture, computers and other office equipment and motor vehicles) is charged to expenditure at cost. An inventory of nonexpendable equipment is maintained and the value disclosed in these notes. For reporting purposes, only those items with a cost value of $ 2 500 and above are included, whereas in previous biennia all items with a cost value of $ 500 and above were included. 2.20 Working Capital Fund and internal borrowing Pending the receipt of assessed contributions, implementation of the regular budget may be financed from the Working Capital Fund and thereafter by internal borrowing against available cash reserves of the Organization, excluding trust funds. Amounts borrowed are repaid from the collection of arrears of assessed contributions which are credited first against any internal borrowing outstanding and then against any borrowing outstanding from the Working Capital Fund. 2.21 Foreign exchange hedging In accordance with Financial Regulation 4.4, foreign exchange hedging seeks to maintain the level of the budget, irrespective of the effect of any fluctuation of currencies against the US dollar. The amounts available for hedging are approved by the World Health Assembly for the financial period concerned. The exact method of hedging is determined in accordance with the investment policy, which specifies permitted hedging instruments: namely forward foreign exchange and option contracts. The exchange rate to be protected and prevailing market conditions are also taken into account. Costs associated with the purchase of foreign currency options are recorded at the time of purchase and are expensed in the biennium to which they relate. Gains (losses) on forward contracts and any gains on option contracts are taken to income (or expenditure) when the contracts mature.

27. Construction in progress and loan from the Swiss Confederation The World Health Assembly, in resolutions WHA55.8 and WHA56.13, authorized the Director-General to proceed with the construction of a new building at headquarters for WHO and UNAIDS at a cost estimated at CHF 66 000 000, of which WHO's share was estimated at CHF 33 000 000.

The Health Assembly also approved the use of the Real Estate Fund for the repayment over a 50-year period of WHO's share of the interest-free loan provided by the Swiss Confederation with effect from the first year of the completion of the building. The amount of construction in progress reflects expenditure incurred on the building up to 31 December 2005 and the loan repayable at 31 December 2005 represents the amount of the loan received from the Swiss Confederation on that date.

29. United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund WHO is a member organization participating in the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund (UNJSPF) which was established by the United Nations General Assembly to provide retirement, death, disability and related benefits. The Pension Fund is a funded defined benefit plan. The financial obligation of the Organization to the UNJSPF consists of its mandated contribution at the rate established by the United Nations General Assembly together with any share of any actuarial deficiency payments under Article 26 of the Regulations of the Fund. Such deficiency payments are only payable if and when the United Nations General Assembly has invoked the provision of Article 26, following determination that there is a requirement for deficiency payments based on an assessment of the actuarial sufficiency of the Fund as of the valuation date. At the time of this report the United Nations General Assembly had not invoked this provision.

31. Contingent liabilities At 31 December 2005, there were pending legal proceedings against the Organization concerning: one accident involving a WHO vehicle; a rental issue at one WHO office; two alleged contractual obligations; one issue concerning alleged fraudulent fuel trafficking; and cases of alleged unlawful dismissal by 28 former staff members. In addition, there are several claims that are currently being processed; they involve four alleged contractual obligations, an alleged obligation due to one former staff member and one case relating to alleged ecological damage caused by the construction of the WHO/UNAIDS building. These claims are not deemed to be of material significance. Finally, there were outstanding personnel matters before the ILO Administrative Tribunal. These are currently being contested by the Organization. The legal proceedings have not progressed sufficiently to determine the extent of any liability of the Organization with any degree of certainty.
32. Agreement with Compass Group (Suisse) SA In November 2000, the Organization entered into an agreement with Compass Group (Suisse) SA (Compass Group) to extend and modify restaurant accommodation at Headquarters in Geneva. Under the terms of this agreement, Compass Group financed the cost of the extension to the Organization by CHF 1.2 million ($ 1.1 million) in the form of a loan to WHO. Under the terms of the loan provided by Compass Group, interest was charged at 4%. The loan, originally scheduled to be repaid over a nine year period which started in 2001 has been fully repaid in 2005. The payments of interest and principal were charged to the Special Account for Concessions at Headquarters. At 31 December 2005, the balance of the loan was zero. The capital expenditure portion of the extension amounted to $ 0.8 million and is included in the capital assets of the Organization.

United Nations Development Fund - adjustment to fund balance At country level, WHO and UNAIDS use the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to make payments and to provide services and administrative support. To finance these activities, WHO transfers money to UNDP on a monthly basis. In previous years, WHO and UNAIDS activities were included in the fund balances on Statement I.2. To provide more transparency, the balances on the WHO and UNAIDS service clearance accounts with UNDP are now shown under sundry debtors and accounts payable and the figures under UNDP on Statement I.2 relate solely to programme activities undertaken by WHO as executing agency.
34. Security Fund In view of the increased importance attached to the provision of security for WHO staff, the Director-General established a Security Fund, under Financial Regulation 9.3, to record the income and expenditure related to provision of security coordination both through reimbursement of WHO's share of the United Nations systems' costs and those pertaining to the Secretariat. This fund may be financed by way of appropriation from the regular budget and from other sources including the Special Account for Servicing Costs. Costs pertain to the provision of security services for staff in all locations who are engaged in work that is funded by both the regular budget and other sources.

35. Information Technology Fund The Information Technology Fund was established in 2002-2003 by the Director-General under Financial Regulation 9.3 to meet the current and future administrative information requirements of the Organization. This fund may be financed by way of appropriation from the regular budget and from other sources including the Special Account for Servicing Costs. This financing reflects the fact that the systems will support management of programmes funded by both the regular budget and extrabudgetary contributions.
36. International Agency for Research on Cancer - adjustment to fund balance IARC's financial statements were consolidated on a cash basis in previous biennia and are now consolidated on an accrual basis in conformity with the United Nations System Accounting Standards. The amount of $ 530 670 represents a one time adjustment to reflect IARC's unliquidated obligations and capital assets as at 1 January 2004.
37. Re-statement of 2002-2003 comparative figures The presentation of some figures in 2004-2005 has made it necessary to re-state relevant 2002-2003 figures for comparative purposes.
38. Statement of appropriations for the financial period 2004-2005 Transfers from the regular budget Expenditure figures for this period include transfers from the regular budget of $ 2.0 million to the UNICEF/UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases; of $ 0.05 million to the African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control; of $ 5.8 million to the Real Estate Fund; of $ 2.9 million to the Security Fund; and of $ 9.7 million to the Information Technology Fund. Unobligated balance of appropriations The unobligated balance of regular budget appropriations at the end of the financial period could either be funded in total, in part, or not at all depending on the extent to which assessed contributions have been collected. Any funded part of the unobligated balance of regular budget appropriations is credited to miscellaneous income. The unfunded part of the unobligated balance of regular budget appropriations represents the amount of the effective working budget that has not been implemented. The unfunded part is credited to miscellaneous income only when the underlying outstanding assessed contributions are collected. At 31 December 2005, the unobligated balance of regular budget appropriations of $ 8.9 million was all unfunded. Transfers between sections of the Appropriation Resolution Paragraph 3.1 of the Appropriation Resolution for the financial period 2004-2005 (resolution WHA56.32) states "notwithstanding the provisions of Financial Regulation 4.3, the Director-General is authorized to make transfers between appropriation sections of the effective working budget up to an amount not exceeding 10% of the amount appropriated for the section from which the transfer is made; all such transfers shall be reported in the financial report for the financial period 2004-2005; any other transfers required shall be made and reported in accordance with the provisions of Financial Regulation 4.3".
A59/28 Page 42
All transfers between appropriation sections made by the Director-General during the 2004-2005 biennium were within the authority granted under the Appropriation Resolution and were effected in order to meet changing programme needs. However, an additional requirement under one allocation in a given section may be frequently offset by a reduced requirement under another allocation in the same appropriation section, thereby avoiding the need for a transfer. The regular budget transfers made in the course of the implementation of the 2004-2005 programme budget are summarized as follows: 2004-2005 (US dollars)
Appropriation Section 1 - Communicable diseases Increase: African Region Implementation variances and priority programmes South-East Asia Region Western Pacific Region Decrease: European Region Eastern Mediterranean Region Global and interregional Net increase Regional priorities and increased staff costs Avian flu and new activities in communicable disease prevention and control, malaria, and tuberculosis Reallocation based on regional review Reallocation due to organizational change and country-level programme changes Reductions to fund UN Common Services and statutory meetings partly offset by increases for avian flu activities

In the event that minimum payments are not made according to the agreed plan, the Member State's voting privileges are suspended in accordance with Article 7 of the Constitution.

Schedule 10 Terminal Payments Account as at 31 December 2005 (in thousands of US dollars)
This account was established to provide for financing the terminal emoluments of staff members, including repatriation grant, accrued annual leave, repatriation travel, removal on repatriation, and other separation payments. It is funded by a budgetary provision set for the biennium 2004-2005 at 2.5% of fixed term staff net salaries and professional staff post adjustment. It applies to all fixed term staff, including those assigned to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS); the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC); the International Computing Centre (ICC); the African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC); the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (TGF). It excludes, however, those staff funded from UNDP and staff appointed under the Associate Professional Officers programme. In this way, it is ensured that each source of funds which participates under the scheme bears its appropriate share of the terminal emoluments paid to separating staff members. Interest earned on investments is also credited to the account. The account does not reflect the Organization's and other entities full long-term liability for the terminal emoluments of staff members, of which the present value at 31 December 2005 is estimated at $ 104 million. 2004-2005

a/ Funds were transferred from the regular budget to the Information Technology Fund, the Security Fund and the Real Estate Fund and from the Special Account for Servicing Costs to the Information Technology Fund and the Security Fund. The amounts transferred are treated as expenditure under the regular budget and the Special Account for Servicing Costs. The amounts transferred are treated as income in the Information Technology Fund, the Security Fund and the Real Estate Fund, and eventually as expenditure in line with the activities undertaken within those areas. This accounting treatment is necessary to maintain the integrity of the individual funds while it does lead to duplication of expenditure under the total column.

Glossary of budgetary and financial terms 2004-2005 This glossary of budgetary and financial terms provides an explanation of the main terms used in the two documents that present the WHO financial framework. The Programme Budget is approved by the Health Assembly and is a plan in programmatic terms for the work of the Organization in the biennium. The Financial Report, which is audited on a biennial basis, provides information on the actual expenditure of the Organization and shows the assets and liabilities at the end of each year. The report of the External Auditor is presented together with the Financial Report and enables Member States and other readers of the Financial Report to know that an independent audit has taken place and whether there are any significant issues that require attention. The External Auditor also gives an opinion on whether the Financial Report for the biennium presents fairly, in all respects, the financial position of the Organization. Account: a formal record of an asset, liability, revenue or expense in which the effects of transactions are indicated in terms of money or some other unit of measurement. Accounting, cash basis of: the method of recording transactions by which income and expenditure and other costs are recorded on the basis of actual collection or disbursement of cash in a given period. Accrual: the accrual basis of accounting for revenue in each financial period means that income is recognized when it is due and not when it is received. Accrual of expenditure in each financial period means that costs are recognized when obligations arise or liabilities are incurred and not when payments are made. Appropriation: an amount voted by the Health Assembly for a specified purpose and for a financial period. This represents a ceiling, a maximum figure against which regular budget obligations may be incurred. Effective appropriation: represents the amount of the appropriation after taking into account any transfers which the DirectorGeneral is authorized to make between appropriation sections. Appropriation resolution: a resolution by the Health Assembly approving the regular budget appropriations for a financial period and their financing. The appropriation resolution also notes the amount of the expenditure in the Programme Budget to be financed from other sources. Assessment, scale of: a scale established by the Health Assembly to apportion the amount required for the regular budget net assessments of the Organization for a given period among Member States. Budget: a plan in financial terms for the carrying out of a programme of activities in a specific period. A programme budget focuses upon the work to be undertaken and the objectives sought through that work: it emphasizes the ends to be achieved and translates them into the costs required for their implementation. Decisions relate both to resource levels, financing and to results to be achieved. Budget, effective working: represents that part of the approved regular budget against which the Director-General is authorized to incur obligations. Budget, working: The working budget comprises allocations from the regular budget and other sources and represents that part of the programme budget that has been allocated as adjusted by transfers between appropriation sections and/or Offices. Disbursements: payment in cash. Exchange rate hedging: this mechanism seeks to maintain the level of the budget so that the activities represented by the budget approved by the Health Assembly may be carried out irrespective of the effect of any fluctuation of currencies against the US dollar. Expenditure: expenditure for a financial period is the total amount of obligations. This figure represents the sum of disbursements and unliquidated obligations made against an appropriation or other sources. Fund accounting: the method of accounting under which each fund is maintained as a distinct financial and accounting entity with a separate, self-balancing group of accounts.
A59/28 Page 85
Imprest accounts: a fund or an account established with a fixed amount and maintained at that level by periodic replenishments of the sums disbursed. Generally, imprest accounts are used for making payments in Country Office locations. Internal borrowing: a mechanism by which, once the Working Capital Fund has been fully utilized, other available funds are used in order to finance regular budget implementation pending the receipt of assessed contributions. Internal borrowing is repaid when Member States pay their arrears of assessed contributions. Liability: a current obligation, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow of resources from the Organization. These include: i. Contributions or payments received in advance; ii. Borrowings payable within one year; iii. Unliquidated obligations; iv. Accounts payable, including inter-fund balances payable and other accounts payable; v. Other funds and special accounts; vi. Other liabilities; vii. Borrowings payable after one year. Obligation: a commitment or undertaking that creates a legal liability against the resources of the Organization. Obligation, unliquidated: that part of an obligation which has not been disbursed, i.e. an outstanding liability. Revolving fund: a fund established so that income from specific activities may be used to cover the costs of those activities. Any surplus may be carried forward to a future period. Savings on unliquidated obligations: the balance remaining within unliquidated obligations after payment of all liabilities under those obligations. Tax equalization fund: a fund to which is credited the revenue from Staff Assessment and which is reduced by: i. Refunds to staff for income taxes levied on their emoluments; ii. Credits against the assessed contributions of Members, in proportion to their assessments but less any income taxes they have levied on the emoluments received from the Organization by their nationals or others liable to such taxes. Unobligated balance: that part of an appropriation, contribution or allotment which has not been obligated. The unobligated balance of regular budget appropriations at the end of the financial period could either be funded in total, in part, or not at all depending on the extent to which assessed contributions have been collected. Any funded part of the unobligated balance of regular budget appropriations is credited to miscellaneous income. The unfunded part of the unobligated balance of regular budget appropriations represents the amount of the budget appropriations that cannot be implemented. The unfunded part is credited to miscellaneous income only when the underlying outstanding assessed contributions are collected. Working capital fund: a fund established by the Health Assembly for the purpose of financing regular budget implementation pending receipt of assessed contributions. Withdrawals from the fund are reimbursed when Members eventually pay their arrears of assessed contributions.

REPORT OF THE EXTERNAL AUDITOR TO THE WORLD HEALTH ASSEMBLY ON THE FINANCIAL OPERATIONS OF THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION FOR THE FINANCIAL PERIOD 1 JANUARY 2004 TO 31 DECEMBER 2005 1. The audit of the World Health Organization (WHO) was assigned to the Comptroller and Auditor-General of India for the financial periods 2004-2005 and 2006-2007, in terms of resolution WHA 56.8 of the Fifty-sixth World Health Assembly. 2. During the financial period 2004-2005, audits were performed at all Regional offices of the Organization, in addition to selected country offices. My Interim Report, containing the results of the audits performed in the first year of the financial period, was transmitted to the Fifty-eighth World Health Assembly in document A58/28. In the second year of the financial period, we continued to perform audits at different levels of the Organization. Audits were conducted at the Regional Office for South-East Asia (SEARO) as well as the Regional Office for Europe (EURO). Three country offices were also audited. 3. Apart from the audits performed in the Regional and country offices, two in-depth reviews were also conducted at the Headquarters of the Organization. These reviews, the findings of which are discussed subsequently in this report, examined the functioning of the Contracting and Procurement Services unit at Headquarters and the establishment and management of Technical Services Agreements by different technical departments at WHO Headquarters. The findings arising from all the audits were conveyed to the relevant managements through management letters. The results of these audits, appropriately aggregated, have been taken into consideration while framing this report. 4. The scope of the audit was in accordance with Regulation XIV of the Financial Regulations and the Additional Terms of Reference governing the External Audit appended thereto. In accordance with these terms of reference, the auditor shall express an opinion on the financial statements for the financial period and report on the financial operations and various other matters set out therein. 5. The audit was conducted in accordance with the Common Auditing Standards of the Panel of External Auditors of the United Nations, the specialized agencies and the International Atomic Energy Agency. The audit approach followed was comprehensive, encompassing financial, compliance and value-added aspects. 6. The audit of the financial statements for the financial period 2004-2005 was completed and I have expressed an unqualified opinion on the financial statements for the financial period ended 31 December 2005. 7. The working relationship with the Secretariat continues to be constructive and I have received the required cooperation in the discharge of my functions. Effective and regular coordination with the Office of Internal Oversight Services has assisted in the avoidance of duplication and overlapping of activities. Reliance was placed on the work performed by internal audit to the extent that it related to the audit objectives of the external audit process. 8. As had been recommended earlier by the Programme, Budget and Administration Committee, this report which covers the financial period 2004-2005, contains a schedule depicting the status of implementation of significant recommendations made by the External Auditor. The Secretariat has also developed a programme for the tracking of implementation of recommendations, made by both External Audit and the Office of Internal Oversight Services, which was presented to the Executive Board in its 117th session. Periodic monitoring of the implementation of these recommendations will serve to strengthen accountability within the Organization. 9. I also note that the Secretariat has developed and disseminated an accountability framework that seeks to bring together various aspects of responsibility, authority and accountability. Decentralization involves delegation of responsibility and authority and, therefore, accountability for actions also requires to be clearly defined. The accountability framework is intended to be a part of the overall corporate governance and oversight framework of the Organization.
A59/28 Page 87
10. In addition to the audit of WHO, the separate accounts of the African Programme on Onchocerciasis Control, the Trust Fund for the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases, the Trust Fund for the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, the International Computing Centre and the International Agency for Research in Cancer were also examined. The respective audit opinions are transmitted separately to the governing bodies or management committees of these entities.
FINANCIAL MATTERS 11. The rate of collection in respect of assessed contributions during the financial period 2004-2005 was 94%, which was the same as in the previous financial period. 12. As at 31 December 2005, a sum of USD 82.03 million was owed by Member States and Associate Members, out of which USD 29.75 million related to the period 1987-2003. Further, a sum of USD 58 million was owed by Member States and Associate Members, as at 31 December 2005, under special arrangements authorized by the World Health Assembly. The total contributions outstanding as at 31 December 2005 amounted to USD 140.03 million, while at the end of the previous financial period, the corresponding balance stood at USD 137.25 million. 13. Pending the receipt of assessed contributions, implementation of the regular budget may be financed from the Working Capital Fund and, thereafter, by internal borrowings against the available cash reserves of the Organization, excluding Trust Funds. Total borrowings, as at 31 December 2005, stood at USD 44.03 million as compared to USD 32.74 million as at the end of the financial period 2002-2003. 14. The level of extrabudgetary funding being received by the Organization is significant. During the financial period 2004-2005, the total amount received for WHO programme activity was USD 1.94 billion, in comparison to USD1.14 billion in the financial period 2002-2003. 15. The increasing level of extrabudgetary funding evidently calls for increased administrative and support work, which is financed by the regular budget and through the medium of Programme Support Costs. Since extrabudgetary funding continues to grow at a rate faster than that of the regular budget, a larger proportion of the regular budget would need to be utilized to support extrabudgetary activities. A related issue is the utilization of Programme Support Costs, which are currently being allocated to Headquarters and the Regional offices. The Secretariat has indicated that the overall policy relating to Programme Support Costs was being reviewed, including issues related to the recovery of costs, the rates to be applied for Programme Support Costs and the subsequent allocation and use of the earnings arising from Programme Support Costs. 16. The Fifty-seventh World Health Assembly had requested the Director-General to develop guiding principles, based on objective criteria, to be applied in the allocation of funds from all sources, taking into account equity, efficiency and performance, and support to countries in greatest need, in particular least developed countries. It is noted that the Secretariat has developed guiding principles for the strategic allocation of resources, linked to the results-based management framework of the Organization, which have been discussed by the Executive Board and the Regional Committees. A validation mechanism, to provide an objective and transparent relative resource indication across Headquarters and Regions for all sources of funds, was also developed. The guiding principles and validation mechanism were discussed by the Executive Board in its 117th session in January 2006. It was decided that the item would be referred to the Programme, Budget and Administration Committee at its next meeting, for further consideration by the Executive Board at its 118th session.
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES 17. Earlier reports of the External Auditor had indicated areas where specific and formalized policies and procedures should be attempted. These included, among others, a fraud prevention policy, a comprehensive framework for delegation of authority and an environmental policy.
A59/28 Page 88
18. I am pleased to note that the Secretariat has since issued the fraud prevention policy, which has been disseminated across the Organization. Additionally, fraud awareness guidelines have also been developed and issued, which are to be used in conjunction with the fraud prevention policy. The purpose of these guidelines is to inform and enhance the understanding of managers and staff about assessing risk, the conditions that encourage fraudulent activities, preventive measures and actions to be taken in the event of a fraud being detected. The fraud prevention policy and associated guidelines will contribute to raising awareness and minimizing the exposure of the Organization to the consequences associated with fraudulent activities. 19. I understand that the Secretariat is working on the development of a detailed framework of delegation of responsibility and authority. The framework aims to spell out managerial, as well as administrative and financial responsibilities of those to whom the Director-General has delegated authority, including the Assistant-Directors General and the Regional Directors. The WHO Accountability Framework also contemplates a system of annual Letters of Representation to be obtained from Regional Directors and Assistant-Directors General and downwards for all staff who have been delegated financial authority. It is expected that the framework of delegation of responsibility and authority will be formalized in the near future. 20. My Interim Report had mentioned that a draft environmental policy had been prepared and was undergoing technical review. After its approval for Organization-wide endorsement by the Director-General, environmental management systems were to be developed by each location, taking into account local conditions and legislation. I have been informed that work on the environmental policy is still ongoing and it is yet to be formalized and issued.
BUDGET AND FINANCE UNIT IN THE REGIONAL OFFICE FOR AFRICA 21. The operations of the Regional office for Africa are divided between two locations, Brazzaville and Harare. In order to address issues, arising out of the difficulties in operating the budget control and financial accounting system in two locations, an external consulting firm had been commissioned in 2004 to review the budget and finance functions. The consulting firm had issued its report in May 2004. Its recommendations were examined in the Regional office and a course of action had been suggested to senior management. However, no action on the recommendations could be taken in 2004. 22. Subsequently, in 2005, a new strategic vision has been developed for the Region, focussing on enhancing the Organization's performance at country level. This strategic vision includes consolidation of the Budget and Finance Unit, within the Division of Administration and Finance in Brazzaville. The intention is to strengthen country offices, inter alia through significant decentralization envisaging the redevelopment of four to five InterCountry Teams, that would provide technical and management support to clusters of eight to twelve countries. This approach would subsequently involve decentralization of the Division of Administration and Finance, in order to provide the required management support at levels of the country and the Inter Country Teams. However, the Regional office is of the view that the decentralization of the Budget and Finance unit will require changes in the current information technology system. Full implementation of the planned decentralization would have to wait for the implementation of the Global Management System, unless costeffective modifications could be made to the existing Regional Office- Administration and Finance System. 23. Until the consolidation of the Budget and Finance Unit takes place the difficulties, associated with split operations across two locations and the related impact on direct supervision and internal controls mentioned by the external consultants in May 2004, would continue to persist.
CONTRACTS FOR SERVICES 24. Contracts for miscellaneous short-term or technical services with firms or individuals are formalized through Agreements for Performance of Work. Adjudication reports are required, for contracts of value of USD 15,000 and above, to demonstrate in a substantive and detailed manner the objectivity and fairness of the process undertaken to select the contractual partner. My Interim Report had focussed on instances where adjudication reports had not been prepared.
A59/28 Page 89
25. During our audits, we have continued to notice cases where adjudication reports had not been prepared though the contract values exceeded USD 15,000. In some cases, technical and financial reports had not been submitted though the contractual periods had ended. The absence of such reports renders it difficult to assess whether the contractual partners have delivered the required services to the satisfaction of the Organization. The Secretariat should continue its efforts to ensure compliance with the requirements underpinning such contracts for services.
LOCAL COST SUBSIDIES 26. Local cost subsidies are payments made by the Organization to cover the costs of items that would otherwise be borne by national governments, in order to strengthen their health development capacity in, or to meet their commitments to, WHO technical cooperation at country level. Funds for local cost activities are provided by way of advances, after formalizing the agreements which include costing details and permissible categories of expenditure. Financial reports are to be submitted by the national governments to the responsible WHO official who has to certify that expenditures were admissible and in conformity with the objectives of the agreements. 27. There have been some difficulties associated with the receipt of the stipulated financial returns from national governments concerned and these have been mentioned in earlier reports of the External Auditor. These financial returns are integral to the accountability process and are required to assess whether activities and related expenditures were in conformity with programme objectives. 28. The Secretariat has been addressing, since 2001, the subject of the overall policy and procedures to be followed, in relation to the issue of local cost subsidies. Local cost subsidies will now be known as Direct Financial Cooperation and a revised policy, setting out the principles for funding support to countries, has been formalized and is effective from January 2006. 29. The revised policy is set against the framework of results-based management and lays emphasis on technical reports that would address programmatic outcomes. While the technical reports would include a summary expenditure statement certified by the responsible government official, the revised policy attempts to shift the emphasis from financial reporting to technical reporting. Since results-based management involves an integrated budget, the existing financial ceilings on local costs would no longer be required, since they applied to the regular budget. This is expected to facilitate the Regional Directors in assessing the level of direct financial support to governments required in order to achieve the desired outcomes. Requests for financial support from WHO would have to be related to approved work plans and would need to be formalized through an agreement. 30. The revised policy notes that, in some cases, statements of expenditure, for local costs advances given in the past, were still outstanding. Despite follow-up, some governments have been unable to produce records relating to these long-standing releases. It has now been decided that each Regional office would do a comprehensive analysis of the amounts involved and the periods for which statements of expenditure have not been submitted. They would write to the governments concerned and request them to either refund balances, or provide statements of expenditure and certify that the funds have been spent for the intended purposes. A condition of WHO's acceptance of the governments' certification is their agreement to abide by the principles and procedures applicable to further WHO financing of government activities. On the basis of this information, each Regional Director would write to the Comptroller, seeking a waiver from reporting on outstanding statements of expenditure. Waivers can also be granted to national authorities who are unable to certify prior activities due to a change in government or other similar circumstances. 31. Local cost subsidies accounted for a significant 14.1 per cent of expenditure, from all sources of funds, in the financial period 2004-2005. The accountability for the use of resources, therefore, needs to be ensured. Before any waiver is granted, it is important that the Secretariat satisfy itself that the analysis carried out at Regional offices of amounts advanced, statements of expenditure pending and details of unspent balances are thorough and complete. Waivers should be granted only after all possibilities of obtaining the statements of expenditure are ruled out. The revised procedures also require certification of expenditures and details of unspent balances and prescribe that advances be withheld from contractual partners who have overdue technical and financial reports. Compliance with these requirements should be monitored closely and corrective measures taken, where required. This would obviate the possibility of similar situations arising in future.
A59/28 Page 90
TRAVEL ADVANCES 32. The issue of outstanding travel advances had been discussed in my Interim Report, wherein it had been mentioned that at WHO Headquarters complete information on travel advances granted prior to 15 October 2004, the date of introduction of the revised travel policy, was not readily available. It was planned to clear the backlog of travel advances by the end of 2005. As of 31 December 2005, 640 transactions were pending which were more than a year old. Of these, 466 cases involving an amount of USD 635,000 would involve recoveries from staff members. The Secretariat expects to clear the 466 cases by July 2006. The Secretariat is encouraged to continue focussing attention on this issue. 33. Similarly, in an audit performed at a country office in the African region, a review of outstanding travel advances revealed that there were 256 cases where advances were outstanding for more than two years and there were 414 cases where advances were outstanding for periods ranging between one and two years. The country office has since issued instructions to address the problem of outstanding travel advances and it will be necessary to closely monitor progress so as to ensure that all outstanding advances are appropriately adjusted.
CONTRACTING AND PROCUREMENT SERVICES AT HEADQUARTERS 34. A detailed study of the Contracting and Procurement Services (CPS) unit at WHO Headquarters was performed in order to review the procedures and practices being followed in relation to the procurement of goods and to examine whether they were in consonance with the WHO Manual. Procurement of goods is an area of risk and the audit also aimed to ascertain whether the controls in place served to mitigate such risk. The audit was based on a risk analysis and included review of high value Purchase Orders approved by the Contract Review Committee and procurements related to emergencies. After the audit was concluded, a management letter containing specific recommendations was issued to the Secretariat. These recommendations and the Secretariat's responses are discussed in the subsequent paragraphs. 35. Procurement process: CPS is headed by the Coordinator, CPS and functions under the supervision of the Director, Infrastructure and Logistics Services (ILS). There are five procurement units dealing with different products and supplies. These are: Computer and Office Supplies; Drugs and Biologicals; Environment and Medical procurement; Hospital and Teaching equipment and Laboratory supplies. A separate unit is responsible for the e-procurement system called WebBuy. 36. The procurement process in WHO aims to obtain goods suited to the purpose for which they are to be used, for delivery by the time required and at the lowest cost. Regional offices are authorized to make purchases for their respective Regions and also to delegate authority within prescribed cost limits. Items which cannot be purchased at the Regional level are referred to Headquarters. CPS is responsible for handling Regional requisitions as well as procurements at Headquarters. 37. CPS processes all procurement requests, known as Purchase Authorizations, which are sent to them after the indenters ensure that funds are available to cover the proposed purchase and appropriate approvals are obtained. CPS calls for bids, prepares adjudication reports, makes submissions to the Contract Review Committee (CRC) in the case of high value purchases which exceed USD150, 000. Subsequently, Purchase Orders are issued to suppliers. The Purchase Order, along with the supplier's acknowledgement, constitutes a legal contract. 38. During the period 1 January 2004 to 30 September 2005, 9713 purchase orders were processed by CPS, amounting to USD 153.39 million. 39. Contract file management: It was noticed that the existing system of management of contract files requires to be streamlined and improved. While a master file was maintained for each purchase authorization, separate folders were maintained for each purchase order resulting from the purchase authorization. In cases referred to the CRC, the files were incomplete in that invitations to bid were not available in some files; bid documents received from suppliers were not available in the purchase authorization/ purchase order files; papers relating to the public opening of bids were not found in any of the folders. However, it was noticed that these documents were available in different folders and files maintained in CPS. Procurement actions involve considerable financial implications and it is essential that all documents, leading up to the procurement decision, are kept systematically together. This will establish the audit trail and enable subsequent independent review.
A59/28 Page 91
40. I recommend that appropriate changes be effected in order to ensure the orderly maintenance of contract files, which would enhance transparency and facilitate the completion of audit procedures. Institutional guidance, by way of a provision in the WHO Manual, should be provided on the manner in which a contract file is to be managed. 41. The Secretariat has accepted the recommendation and has stated that instructions and institutional guidance were being prepared for implementation as from 1 January 2006.They also stated that CPS was planning to launch a project, in the near future, to establish an e-filing system for all procurement related documentation. 42. Low value purchase orders: The WHO Manual provides that where significant economies are not expected to result from central purchasing, users should be authorized to purchase directly from the supplier. An analysis was conducted of the 9713 purchase orders issued by CPS, in the period 1 January 2004 to 30 September 2005. Out of these, 6591 purchase orders had been issued on behalf of Regional offices. It was also noticed that 69% of the orders were below USD 5000 and 33% of the orders were below USD 1000. The value of orders below USD 5000 amounted to only 6.5 % of the total value of procurement during the period of reference. The high proportion of low value orders indicates that scope exists to improve procurement planning, by consolidation of requirements as against fragmented and repeated requisitions. 43. It was noticed that Regional offices had accounted for 26% of the purchase authorizations below USD 5000. In case procurement of lower value items is planned appropriately at the Regional level, it would decrease transaction costs, reduce time taken in procurement actions and free resources at Headquarters to focus on more strategic aspects of procurement planning. 44. I recommend that CPS review this issue, in consultation with Regional offices, so as to ensure an appropriate balance in the value of purchase authorizations being placed by them on Headquarters. 45. The Secretariat, while agreeing with the recommendation, indicated that they would work with Regional offices to increase the volume of low value items to be procured directly by them. This would improve the efficiency and effectiveness of CPS. 46. Suppliers' acknowledgements: Since the purchase order, along with the supplier's acknowledgement or acceptance of the orders, constitutes a legal contract, against which the supplier may demand payment if the goods are delivered, the supplier's agreement should be obtained in writing should cancellation be necessary. CPS sends an acknowledgement copy along with the purchase order mentioning delivery dates, terms of payment and delivery and other general terms and conditions of the contract. However, it was noticed that in many cases, the acknowledgement forms had not been signed and returned by the suppliers. 47. I recommend that suppliers be advised to invariably acknowledge the purchase order. This requirement could also be included in any proposed IT module for procurement. 48. Accepting the recommendation, the Secretariat stated that a proper system check had been established in the Web Buy e-procurement system to ensure that all purchase orders are acknowledged by suppliers. 49. Vendor data base: Procurement in WHO is conducted by calling for bids from a selected list of suppliers. It is, therefore, essential that the list of potential vendors for various non-proprietary items be continually updated. This would facilitate invitation of bids from a larger vendor base and enhance competition. 50. CPS was presently conducting vendor identification through attendance in major medical exhibitions; participation in "contact days" with industry organized by Ministries of Health or Departments of Commerce and industry in different countries; issue of international expressions of interest for different products to identify and evaluate new suppliers and sources. 51. There is presently no system through which data and statistics regarding new vendors identified in the last two years could be extracted. Vendor performance evaluation was not being carried out. CPS stated that analysis of vendor performance was part of the requirements of the proposed Global Management System. It was also envisaged that there would be more Long Term Agreements for different items in future, leading to a possible contraction in the total vendor base.
A59/28 Page 92
52. I recommend that details of potential vendors be documented in a centralized database. A larger vendor database will provide greater choice and enhance competition even for finalizing Long Term Agreements. Vendor performance evaluation should also be considered in the interim period, which will facilitate transition to the Global Management System, as and when it is rolled out. 53. The Secretariat, in response, stated that they would be working on implementation of this recommendation. Specifically, they would start with the performance evaluation of Long Term Agreements entered into with vendors, focussing on criteria linked to delivery timing and quality aspects. 54. Emergencies: The WHO Manual provides that the Director-General or Regional Directors could declare emergencies and also the end of emergencies, after prescribed consultations. During emergencies, the Coordinator, CPS has the authority to approve purchases up to the amount of allotments issued. 55. In the financial period 2004-2005 and up to 30 September 2005, Coordinator CPS had issued 135 purchase orders amounting to USD 13,886,387 under these provisions of the WHO Manual. A review of the purchase authorization and purchase order files showed that the information note /orders of the Director- General or Regional Directors or any other delegated authority, declaring the emergency, were not recorded on the files. 56. I recommend that the purchase orders should cite the specific information note/order declaring the emergency as it involves delegation of financial authority. There should also be a formalized and periodic monitoring of the continuance/withdrawal of the declaration of emergency, in consultation with the appropriate authorities within the Organization. 57. The Secretariat has accepted this recommendation and stated that the written declaration of emergencies, when issued, would be kept on record in consonance with the provisions of the WHO Manual. 58. The WHO Manual provides that procurement should be done with full and free competition. For single purchases above USD 15,000, tenders from three suppliers are to be sought by formal written invitation to bid. Sealed bids are to be invited where purchases are estimated to exceed USD 150,000. While some exceptions to this are permitted, the Manual does not indicate any general waiver of the sealed bid procedure for cases of emergency purchase. In a review of emergency purchase cases, it was noticed that a consistent approach had not been followed. While the sealed bid procedure had been followed in some cases of emergency purchase and the cases submitted to the CRC, in yet other cases of emergency purchase, the sealed bid procedure was not followed nor were the cases submitted to the CRC. In some cases, three bids were not obtained. 59. I recommend that the existing procedures being followed in emergencies, with respect to the invitation of sealed bids and the number of quotes to be obtained, be reviewed in order to ensure both consistency in approach and consonance with the provisions of the WHO Manual. 60. The Secretariat, while noting the recommendation, stated that the WHO Manual was currently under review and that it would be ensured that the wording of the specific Manual provisions would properly reflect the procedures to be followed in emergencies. 61. Purchases based on estimates: The WHO Manual (Manual VI.1.370) provides that CPS may provide price and delivery estimates from central purchasing records in order to assist Regional offices in determining what could be considered a "reasonable cost" for any proposed purchase. The Manual does not provide for calling of quotes to make price estimates. 62. It was noticed that in a case involving the purchase of 298 laboratory refrigerators valuing USD 619,997, the purchase order was issued on the basis of quotes obtained from suppliers. Since the value of the purchase exceeded USD 150,000, the sealed bid procedure should have been followed. However, this had not been done. It was learnt that this was a "Request for Price Estimate" (RPE) case, where the requisitioning office had requested price information. In such cases, the practice is that CPS obtains quotes from different vendors and then sends these price estimates to the requisitioning office, which takes a decision on whether to procure the product, based on its requirements and availability of funds. Thereafter, it would issue a purchase authorization to CPS. Since current rates quoted by vendors are already available, CPS does not invite sealed bids but issues the purchase order, based on available prices.
A59/28 Page 93
63. However, there is no specific provision in the WHO Manual relating to Request for Price Estimates. Procurement based on price estimates cannot supplant the sealed bid procedure, which has certain inbuilt controls. In the instant case, there were neither sealed bids nor consequent public opening of bids; there was no last date for submission of quotes; there had been correspondence with vendors after submission of their original quotes, following which quotes were revised. It had also not been mentioned in the submission to the CRC that the sealed bid procedure had not been followed. 64. I recommend that the practice of finalizing procurement actions based on quotes received in response to "RPE" be reviewed, since it is effectively supplanting the prescribed procedure of inviting sealed bids. Controls built into the bidding process are consequently bypassed, leading to potential risks in procurement decisions. CPS should consider responding to requests for price information from requisitioning offices in the manner prescribed in the WHO Manual. 65. The Secretariat, in response, stated that these comments had been noted and that it would be ensured that the provisions relating to Request for Price Estimates would be reflected in the Procurement section of the Manual, which was currently under review. It would also ensure that the provisions of Manual VI.1.370 are followed while responding to requests for price information. 66. Since procurement is an area of potential risk, we accord these recommendations high priority and will monitor their implementation closely, including through a follow-up review at an appropriate time.
TECHNICAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS AT WHO HEADQUARTERS 67. An audit was performed at WHO Headquarters to review the procedures and controls governing the establishment and management of Technical Services Agreements (TSA). The term TSA refers to an agreement whereby collaborative research services are provided under contract by an institution to WHO. 68. The audit was undertaken across different clusters at Headquarters and covered the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases; HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (HTM); Family and Community Health (FCH); Non-communicable Diseases and Mental Health (NMH) and Evidence and Information for Policy (EIP). The findings and recommendations, arising out of the audit, were communicated to the Secretariat through a management letter. The response of the Secretariat to the recommendations has also been discussed in the subsequent paragraphs. 69. General conditions: TSAs at Headquarters are concluded by the technically responsible officer and by the programme manager. At the institution, the TSA is required to be signed by the Principal Investigator responsible for the research project and by another official who is authorized to enter into contracting arrangements on behalf of the institution. For research agreements exceeding USD100,000, the institutions concerned should have administrative structures capable of administering and accounting for funds, in accordance with acceptable standards of internal control. 70. TSAs are not to be used for funding maintenance, repair of buildings and laboratories or equipment for institutions. Principal Investigators are required to be employees of the concerned institutions and TSA funds are not to be used for their salary support. The institutions are required to submit technical and financial reports to WHO in terms of the agreement or at least annually. These are among some of the significant conditions governing the funding of TSAs. 71. Delays in formalizing contracts: It was noticed that in many cases, TSAs were being signed by the institutions concerned after the commencement of the contracts. 72. I recommend that agreements be formalized before the commencement of the contract as TSAs represent legal and contractual obligations of the Organization, 73. The Secretariat, while agreeing with the recommendation, stated that various administrative and other processes, both at WHO and at the contracting institutions, sometimes led to delays. More effort would be made to redress this issue since it was agreed that this was not a normally accepted practice. In case there were exceptions in future, they would be accompanied by justification as appropriate.
A59/28 Page 94
74. Advance payments: The Financial Rules of WHO require that advance payments for performance of services be regulated. Advance payments are to be justified in writing. In case advance payments are necessary, the recommended practice is to allow a maximum initial payment of 50 %. Certain departments have specifically been allowed to make 100% advance payments. It was noticed that advance payments were made without written justification in some other departments. 75. I recommend that the requirement of providing justifying memos be invariably complied with in all cases. The Secretariat agreed with the recommendation. 76. Technical and financial reporting: Institutions are required to submit technical and financial reports on their work to WHO, as required or at least annually. In some cases, these reports were not available though they were overdue. In certain cases, there was no evidence of follow up. 77. I recommend that monitoring be appropriately strengthened to ensure the receipt of technical and financial reports. 78. The Secretariat stated that it agreed with and had implemented the recommendation. It was mentioned that, at times, institutions encounter unexpected administrative constraints rendering monitoring difficult. 79. Each TSA is a separate contract, supported by one or more budgetary obligations. Institutions are required to submit technical and financial reports for each TSA, to ensure proper accountal of funds disbursed earlier before signing subsequent contracts. In some multi-year research contracts, it was noticed that subsequent TSAs were signed though the financial reports for previous TSAs had not been received. 80. I recommend that previous financial reports be obtained and taken into account, before concluding subsequent contracts since each TSA covers a separate contract period. The Secretariat agreed with the recommendation. 81. Deviations from conditions: Funds made available to contracting institutions are not to be used to cover salary support of Principal Investigators or utilized for construction of new buildings or alterations and modifications of existing buildings or premises. There were cases where deviations from these conditions were noticed and funds made available for these purposes. Authority to permit such deviations had not been delegated to the departments concerned. 82. I recommend that such cases involving deviations from the general conditions underlying the contracts be examined by the Contract Review Committee. Appropriate instructions should be issued to ensure uniformity in practice across the Organization, while concluding such collaborative research contracts. The Secretariat agreed in principle and stated that these cases were exceptions and had been allowed by the department concerned in view of strong technical reasons. 83. Similarly, it was noticed that TSAs were used to fund activities that had no research component. Since TSAs are specifically meant for collaborative research, I recommend that the Organization review whether TSAs are appropriate instruments to fund such activities. The Secretariat agreed with the recommendation in principle. 84. Subsequent to these recommendations being made I am pleased to note that the Secretariat has, after review, issued specific instructions on advance payments. The existing delegations and authorizations, including those for making advance payments in respect of TSAs stand withdrawn with effect from 31 March 2006. In case certain departments require authorizations for making advance payments for TSAs, they would have to request one-time global approval for all their TSAs and such global approval would need to be renewed at the beginning of each biennium. Complete justification would need to be provided in case of contracts requiring full payment in advance and it would need to be demonstrated as to why such payment terms are necessary in the interest of the Organization. All such exceptions will require approval of the Comptroller. Departments have also been reminded of the need to respect the conditions governing the TSAs and that they should not be used for salary support of principal investigators or funding maintenance, repair of buildings/laboratories and equipment. 85. The above recommendations relating to the management of Technical Services Agreements are accorded medium priority and the Organization should strive to implement them in the financial period 2006-2007.
