Sixty-first session * A/61/150. Item 118 of the provisional agenda* Administrative and budgetary coordination of the United Nations with the specialized agencies and the International Atomic Energy Agency Budgetary and financial situation of organizations of the United Nations system Note by the Secretary-General transmitting the statistical report of the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination on the budgetary and financial situation of the organizations of the United Nations system (decisions 47/449, 53/459, 57/557 and 57/558) Summary The present report on the budgetary and financial situation of organizations of the United Nations system is the only system-wide source of these statistics. Until 1991 the report, in a slightly modified format, was produced by the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions and included in its annual reports on administrative and budgetary coordination of the United Nations with the specialized agencies and the International Atomic Energy Agency. Since 1991, six biennial reports have been produced under the auspices of the Administrative Committee on Coordination. This ninth report is the third to be presented by the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB). The format and content of the tables have been slightly revised and improved since the last report (A/59/315), following extensive consultations within the Finance and Budget Network of the CEB High-level Committee on Management. 1. This is the ninth report of its kind to be presented by the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination (formerly the Administrative Committee on Coordination). 2. The tables in the report are grouped under the following five subject headings: (a) Regular resources (table 1); (b) Extrabudgetary resources (tables 2-2A); (c) Total expenditure (table 3); (d) Assessed contributions (tables 4-7); (e) Working capital funds (table 8). (a) Regular resources Table 1. Approved regular budgets (1996-2007). This table shows, for each of the organizations appearing in the report that has a regular budget and for each of the years 1996 to 2007, the amounts of the estimated expenditure actually approved under regular budgets, plus any approved supplementary estimates, net of staff assessment. In this context, “regular budgets” are broadly interpreted as “regular resources”, regardless of a corresponding assessment in the legal sense. Figures for biennial budgets are divided into two equal annual amounts. (b) Extrabudgetary resources Table 2. Extrabudgetary resources: summary by organization (2002-2007). This table covers contributions (actual and projected) provided outside regular budgets (for which see table 1). Extrabudgetary resources include trust funds, technical cooperation and other non-regular resources. It also contains the value of contributions in kind. Table 2A. Extrabudgetary resources: funds received (2002-2005). This table shows voluntary contributions in cash and in kind received by each of the same organizations as in table 2 in the past two bienniums. Data are presented in three sections: A: receipts from States, B: receipts from other contributors, and C: receipts from all contributors. (c) Total expenditure Table 3. Total expenditure. This table shows expenditure (actual and projected, 2002-2007) against regular budget resources (table 1) and extrabudgetary resources (table 2), which include trust funds, technical cooperation, and other non-regular resources. Also included is expenditure against resources in connection to which the organization is the executing or implementing agency. Expenditure in kind is indicated separately. Data relating to extrabudgetary peacekeeping operations are excluded. Reported amounts are extracted from the audited financial statements of the corresponding period. (d) Assessed contributions Table 4. Assessed contributions (1996-2007). This table shows the total assessments payable by organizations’ members under approved regular budgets. Assessed contributions relating to extrabudgetary activities, such as certain peacekeeping operations of the United Nations, are not included. Table 5. Percentage assessments (2006-2007). This table shows, for each of the Members of the organizations in table 4, the percentage amounts of the assessed contributions payable under approved regular budgets in 2006 and 2007. Table 6. Assessments voted and received (2004-2005). This table shows, for each of the members of the organizations in the preceding tables, the assessments payable under approved regular budgets and the amounts collected in relation to current assessments and arrears in each of the years 2004 and 2005. Please note that in prior reports, data were provided covering United Nations peacekeeping operations, but have been eliminated from this table. Peacekeeping data may be found in the monthly reports of the Secretariat on the status of contributions (ST/ADM/SER.B...). Table 7. Collection of assessed contributions (2004-2005). This table shows, for each of the organizations in the preceding tables, the percentage of the current year’s assessed contributions under approved regular budgets that was collected at 30 June and at 30 September of the two most recent years for which such data are available (2004 and 2005). The table also shows, by organization, the total amount of all assessed contributions under approved regular budgets that was outstanding at 30 September of the same two years. (e) Working capital funds Table 8. Working capital funds. This table shows, for each of the organizations in the preceding tables, the level of working capital funds in relation to the level of approved regular budget estimates for the period 2006-2007. 3. The footnotes accompanying the tables in several cases not only clarify individual figures but also provide general explanations relevant to the scope and interpretation of the data presented.
