Financial Report 2011 Alessandra Zampieron Treasurer
In the financial year 2011, the Association continued with the consolidation of the financial status. Membership services and educational offerings were maintained at a good level. The Association worked on new projects, organized a successful 40th Anniversary Conference. We published a scientific journal, a newsletter and five new pocket books for education of renal workers. Budget frames for expenses were respected and many of the income goals set were reached. Financial Conclusions 2011
The basic reserve required wasmaintained. The new capital is at 466.615 Swiss Francs(CHF). The flexible assets are found in bank account and short term investment accounts. Settlement accounts are cleared or have fully explained and consolidated balances. Accrued expenses and income are at low, so normallevels, transactions listed here continue to be fully transparent and explainable. Financial Conclusions 2011
The result of the year 2011 shows a surplus of 145.459 CHF. The main reason for this result is the cost conscious working in all areas and further reduction of expenses, a solid response to the conference by delegates and excellent support from industry partners. The results indicate that EDTNA/ERCA need to keep membership development and services in focus and that planning and development of educational budgets need to be continuously monitored. Financial Conclusions 2011
Total Assets CHF 851.513 Total Budget CHF 1.1243.455 Result of the year CHF 145.459 Project Reserves CHF 350,000 New Capital CHF 466.615 Financial Aspects and Results 2011
The official Revision and Audit of the Finance Accounts 2011 took place on 16th March 2012 atAlpinaTreuhand, Seestrasse 91, 6052 Hergiswil. All bank statements were available at the revision. The bank accountbalances were found to be equal to assets booked. Final open issues resulting from the Finance Management of MCI France are closed herewith. All transactions are correctly booked and transparent. All financial documents were presented in electronic or paper form, mostly available in both forms. Theinvestmentstrategyprovidessufficient flexibility forrequiredliquidity. Financial Audit 2011
A positive aspect in our finances was the stabilization of the currency exchange rate of Euro against CHF. The National Bank of Switzerland stopped the increase of value of CHF in comparison to EURO by setting the minimum rate at CHF 1,20 for one EURO. The process to safeguard the financial independence and viability of the Association remains a challenge for the near future, in a period of worldwide economical instability. Cost containments, safe investment of reserves and support to the organization of a successful conference will be the main goals for the Finance Team also in 2012. Future
I would like to thank: All my colleagues in the Executive Committee and in particular Mr. Alois Gorke, the Finance Coordinator, and other professional providersfor their support during the year 2011.
