Welcome to the Finance and Budget Network
OverviewThe Finance and Budget Network brings together those responsible for the financial management of the organizations of the United Nations system. It was created as part of the reform of the sub-machinery of the Chief Executives Board. It is the successor body to the finance and budget sector of the Consultative Committee on Administrative Questions - CCAQ(FB), which had been meeting on a regular basis since 1948. In addition to providing the opportunity to exchange information between senior financial managers, the network is responsible for providing advice and strategic guidance in respect of issues of common concern to UN system organizations as a whole. These include results-based budgeting, international accounting standards, auditing and oversight mechanisms, financial reporting, programme support costs, fraud prevention, and others. It is also responsible for providing guidance in respect of jointly financed activities of the UN system, including security management. The FB Network meets twice yearly and reports to the HLCM.
