Informe del Comité de Temas Financieros y Administrativos (FAC)

The report details the 2006 activities of the Financial and Administrative Committee (FAC), focusing on the selection of external auditors, the development of a procurement manual, and the management of the basic budget. Key outcomes include the appointment of BDO Trevisan for the 2005/06 audit, the agreement to extend a 13% salary adjustment for one year, and efforts to improve member country contributions. The FAC also oversaw the recruitment of a new Financial and Administrative Officer and the refinement of grant agreements for CRN-II.

• The FAC appointed BDO Trevisan – Klaas Johnsen (São Paulo) as the new auditing firm after finding previous proposals from firms like PricewaterhouseCoopers too expensive, ranging around US$ 30,000.
• The committee supported a one-year extension of a 13% salary adjustment for staff and established a future formula for adjustments based on the combined effects of inflation and exchange rate fluctuations between the US dollar and the Brazilian real.
• The FAC is finalizing a Procurement and Acquisitions Manual, which will be used to train all IAI staff and will be subject to annual reviews and updates.
• The IAI is experiencing a concerning trend of increasing financial dependence on a small number of countries due to low overall member participation and contribution levels.
• Argentina requested a fund disbursement of $50,000 to cover its 2005/2006 contribution and is seeking a solution for its remaining debt.
• The IAI has begun signing grant agreements for CRN-II, though it noted the need for minor amendments and clarification regarding human subjects and informed consent.
