Summary
This financial report, authored by Raúl Michelini, compares core budget requests for the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) made in January and May 1999. It details a shift from projected deficits to surpluses for the 1998-1999 and 1999-2000 periods, primarily driven by reductions in personnel benefits and travel expenses.
Key insights
- The budget estimate for the period 7/98 - 6/99 was revised from a deficit of US$ 712 to a surplus of US$ 21,475, representing a total difference of US$ 22,187. This change resulted from a 2.56% decrease in estimated incomes (US$ 19,540) and a 5.46% decrease in expenses (US$ 41,727).
- For the 7/99 - 6/2000 period, the May 1999 estimate shows a potential surplus of US$ 36,375 under an optimistic scenario, compared to a deficit of US$ 129,650 in the January estimate. Under a pessimistic scenario, the period would result in a deficit of US$ 83,625.
- The reduction in projected expenditures for 7/99 - 6/2000 (a total decrease of US$ 131,025) was largely achieved by cutting personnel salaries and benefits by US$ 94,025 and travel costs by US$ 21,500. Specifically, the Director's annual remuneration was reduced from US$ 214,500 to US$ 154,770, and the Scientific Officer's remuneration decreased from US$ 202,500 to US$ 146,480, both primarily through cuts to benefits.
- As of May 11, 1999, the actual income received was US$ 658,759, which is below the expected country contributions of US$ 820,000. The report identifies US$ 105,205 in unpaid contributions from the 95/96 to 97/98 period, though some of these are discounted due to new contribution start dates or unconfirmed statuses for countries including Argentina, Mexico, and Venezuela.
