The group met in Geneva in September 1997 and September 1998, and will meet again in Durban. Information about the Bureau’s accounts and budget, as well as other administrative and financial matters, are regularly shared with members of the group. The group has focused on monitoring the functioning of the new fee system which was adopted in Oslo. Reports on fee payments are made to every meeting of the World Scout Committee, and following several meetings the Bureau was instructed to take specific action with a number of countries.Work is continuing to improve the financial management in each of the regional offices. The aim is to ensure more consistency and frequency of reporting, as well as to train staff members in the use of the computerized accounting system.s For many years the World Scout Bureau and the World Scout Foundation have used the same auditors. The Finance and Support Group felt it was time to consider proposals from several international firms, including the one which we had been using. Following personal presentations by representatives of five firms, Arthur Andersen & Company was selected as auditors for the World Scout Bureau, including its regional offices, and for the World Scout Foundation. Their work for the Bureau will begin with the audit of the1998-1999 accounts.

Page 17 World Organization of the Scout Movement – Triennial Report 1996-1999 Page 16s Upon the recommendation of the Finance and Support Group, the World Scout Committee created an Audit Committee. It is composed mainly of non-World Scout Committee members, and “its task is to comment on the efficacy and to safeguard the credibility and objectivity of the external financial reporting and to ensure that, in the presentation of the financial statements,the World Scout Committee has exercised the necessary care, diligence and skill prescribed by law and the WOSM Constitution.” John Donnell, Jr., who will retire from the World Scout Committee in Durban, was appointed chairman-designate. This committee, along with the new Audit Committee of the World Scout Foundation, met together in February 1999 in Geneva. Staff support is provided by Sonia Kunz, Luc Panissod, and Doreen Taillenss — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kintetsubuffalo (talkcontribs) 11:20, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
