Compilation report to the Board of Trustees of the Consortium Board


On the basis of information provided by the management of the Consortium Office, CGIAR-IAU
staff have assisted the Consortium Office in compiling the Statements of Position as at December
31, 2010 and 2011, and the accompanying Statements of Activities and Statements of Changes in
Net Assets for the calendar years then ended.

As stated in paragraph 2 of Management Statement of Responsibility for Financial Reporting , the
Consortium Offices' financial records during calendar years 2010 and 2011 were maintained by
three different organizations (Bioversity International in Rome, Italy, World Fish Centre in
Penang, Malaysia and the Association for International Agricultural Research Centers in
Arlington, Virginia, USA). The external auditors of all three organizations have audited their
financial statements for calendar years 2010 and 2011 including Consortium Office transactions
and have expressed unqualified opinions for both 2010 and 2011.

We confirm that the Statement of Position as of 31 December 2010 and 2011, and the
accompanying Statements of Activities and Statements of Changes in net Assets for the years
then ended, have been compiled from information received from Bioversity International, the
World Fish Center and the Association for International Agricultural Research Centers and are in
accordance with such information.

For the Years Ended 31 December 2010 and 2011
                    Statement of the Board Chair



As part of the reform of the CGIAR, the Consortium Board came into existence on 1 January
2010. The subsequent two years saw significant steps in the reform process, including:

   •   Approval of the majority of the CGIAR Research Program (CRP) portfolio not only by
       the Consortium Board but also by the Fund Council
   •   Selection of Montpellier, France as the headquarters of the Consortium Office
   •   Selection of key staff for the Consortium Office
   •   The establishment of temporary offices in Montpellier for Consortium use until purpose-
       build facilities are completed
   •   The recognition of the Consortium as an international organization initiated, with the first
       signatures on the Agreement (France and Hungary).

The biggest achievement has been to begin creating a clear identity for the Consortium Board and
Office in their roles working closely with the CGIAR member centers (especially their Boards of
Trustees and Directors-General), the Fund Council and the Independent Science and Partnership
Council (ISPC). The success of the reform requires solid relationships between institutions and
individuals, and it is gratifying to report that a very positive spirit of collaboration is emerging. I
believe that significant progress has been achieved in building a new CGIAR, although at the
same time we acknowledge that much more needs to be done.

Developments in the global landscape in the past years have underscored the need for
international cooperation to achieve global food security. The challenges are well-known: food
security for expanding populations in developing countries, climate change, shortages of water
and arable land, to name but a few. In collaboration with its many partners, the CGIAR needs to
ensure the efficiency, quality, relevance, and impact of its research in order to have a central role
on the international stage.

My past two years as chair of the Consortium Board have been rewarding. My fellow Board
members and I are proud to be part of the reform and planning for the future so that the CGIAR
can continue to carry out its critical mission.

On behalf of the Consortium Board, I would like to express my great appreciation to the many
CGIAR participants and partners for their dedication and hard work, and I look forward to
continued collaboration to achieve the goals of the CGIAR.

Carlos Perez del Castillo
Chair,Consortium Board

                                                                                                     4
Statement on Risk Management

The Consortium Board of Trustees has responsibility for ensuring an appropriate risk
management system is in place to identify and manage high and significant risks for the
implementation of the CGIAR Research Programs (CRP’s) that are the foundation of the overall
CGIAR research objectives. In particular, the Consortium Board of Trustees has an obligation to
CGIAR donors and the CGIAR Fund Council to account for CRP expenditure from all sources
and to ensure that the Impact Pathway is efficient and effective.

Risks may be financial, operational, or reputational and are inherent in the nature, modus
operandi and location of the Consortium activities, and are dynamic as the operating environment
changes. They include the following: low impact of scientific activities; misallocation of
scientific efforts away from agreed priorities; loss of reputation for scientific excellence and
integrity; business disruption; insufficient funding and liquidity problems; transaction processing
failures; loss of assets including information assets; failure to mobilize and utilize qualified and
experienced human and other resources; and failures in the execution of legal, fiduciary and
agency responsibilities.

The Board is in the process of adopting a risk management policy. This will include a framework
by which management identifies, evaluates and prioritizes risks and opportunities across the
organization; develops risk mitigation strategies which balance benefits with costs; monitors the
implementation of these strategies; and periodically reports to the Board on results. The risk
assessments will incorporate the results of collaborative risk assessments with CGIAR Centers,
System Office components and other entities in relation to shared risks arising from jointly
managed activities. The risk management framework seeks to draw upon international best
practice in codes and standards. As part of a continuous improvement effort, the design and
effectiveness of the risk management system and internal controls will be subject to ongoing
review by the Board’s Audit Committee.

Risk mitigation strategies include the development and implementation of monitoring and
evaluation guidelines for all research activities. The Consortium endeavors to manage risk by
ensuring that the appropriate infrastructure, controls, systems and people are in place throughout
the organization. Key practices employed in managing risks regarding the CRP’s include clear
policies and accountabilities, financial and programmatic reporting, and the implementation of a
Performance Management System.

The years of these financial statements are the first years of the Consortium’s operations, and
while the risk management framework was not yet in place the Board is satisfied with the
attention paid by management to risk management and the effectiveness of internal controls.

Management Statement of Responsibility for Financial Reporting

Consortium Management is required to prepare these financial statements, and is responsible for
the accuracy and reliability of the financial information. The 2011 and 2010 aggregated financial
statements, expressed in USD 000, have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies
of the CGIAR as contained in the Financial Guidelines No. 2 – Accounting Policies and
Reporting Practices.
The Consortium’s accounts for the years 2011 and 2010 were maintained in three different
locations: Bioversity (in Rome Italy), the World Fish Center (in Penang, Malaysia), and the
Association for International Agricultural Research Centers (in Arlington, Virginia, USA). The
Consortium’s financial transactions and balances were shown as a component of the financial
statements of these three organizations in both years. These organizations have each maintained a
system of internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded
and the financial records of the center are properly kept. Their external auditors independently
audited the financial statements of the three entities, and unqualified opinions were expressed for
both the years concerned.
The Consortium also has fiduciary responsibility as the recipient of funds from the CGIAR Fund
– these funds are fully disbursed to the CGIAR Centers on receipt, and are not reflected in these
financial statements. These funds are for implementation of CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs),
institutional support (“stability funding” for centers), and genebank support.
The Consortium has been supported by the CGIAR shared Internal Audit Unit, which will
provide regular and ongoing evaluations and recommendations regarding adequacy of the
Consortium’s policies and procedures and the effectiveness of their implementation.
The Consortium financial systems provide an accurate summary of its operations and enable
management to identify and discern risks while at the same time providing assurance that
financial statements and management reports are reliable.
The Consortium Management is of the opinion that these financial statements, as presented in this
document, give an accurate, reliable and complete view of the financial position of the
Consortium for the two years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. There were no events
subsequent to 31 December 2011 which would have any material impact on them.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Introduction

1.      The CGIAR has been going through significant reforms, and 2010 in particular was a year
of transition for the whole CGIAR. At the beginning of the year, there were two central
organizations: the CGIAR Secretariat was still in place and the CGIAR Alliance was operating as
an adhoc body to represent the CGIAR centers during the reform process. By the end of the year,
both bodies had been dissolved and in their place were the Fund Council and Fund Office
(representing the donors) and the CGIAR Consortium Board and Office (representing the
centers).

Statement of Purpose

2.     The purpose of the Consortium is to provide leadership to the CGIAR system and
coordinate activities among Member Centers and other Partners within the framework of CGIAR
Research Programs, in order to enable them to enhance their individual and collective
contribution to the achievement of the CGIAR vision, through such means as:
          a) Fostering a more conducive international environment for agricultural research for
             development and increasing CGIAR relevance and effectiveness within the
             institutional architecture for international development;
          b) Enhancing the impact of Member Center research through common strategic
             objectives, programmatic convergence, concerted action and fostering innovation;
          c) Together with the CGIAR Fund Council, expanding the financial resources
             available to the Member Centers to conduct their work;
          d) Managing the allocation of funds to meet priorities identified in the Strategy and
             Results Framework, and serving as a central point of fiduciary and operational
             accountability for all funds that pass to the Consortium and/or to the Member
             Centers from the Fund;
          e) Improving the cost-efficiency of each Member Center and of the CGIAR system
             as a whole through the provision of advice, shared functions and research
             platforms, and other means; and
          f) Identifying with the Member Centers and promoting opportunities to achieve gains
             in relevance, efficiency and effectiveness.
3.     The Consortium shall in particular carry out the following activities–
          a) Develop, in cooperation with the Member Centers and with the input of a broad
             range of donors and partners, a unified CGIAR Strategy and Results Framework
             for approval by the Funders Forum;



                                                                                            13
b) Maintain relations with Donors and the CGIAR Fund Council with a view to
             obtaining funding for CGIAR Research Programs and the institutional structure of
             the Member Centers;
          c) Develop, in cooperation with the Member Centers, approve and manage
             performance of CGIAR Research Programs;
          d) Keep under review the efficiency and optimal organizational structure of the
             system of Member Centers and decide on appropriate action in accordance with
             this Constitution;
          e) Develop, manage and operate, in cooperation with Member Centers, as
             appropriate, shared services for Member Centers with a view to increasing
             operational efficiency;
          f) Communicate the role of the CGIAR, the Consortium and the Member Centers and
             carry out advocacy in international fora.

Vision and Mission

4.      The goals of the CGIAR are reducing rural poverty, enhancing food security, improving
nutrition and health, and sustainably managing natural resources.
5.      In December 2009, the CGIAR opened a new chapter in its 39-year history by adopting a
new business model. The 2009 CGIAR Business Meeting held on 8 December 2009 endorsed the
reforms that had been designed over the previous two years, and approved the founding
documents of the reformed CGIAR – including drafts of the Constitution of the Consortium on
International Agricultural Research Centers, the CGIAR Fund Framework, the joint declaration
for outcomes between the Consortium and the Fund, and the monitoring and evaluation
framework. This initiated the process of establishing the CGIAR Fund and Fund Council, the
Consortium, and the Independent Science and Partnership Council (ISPC).

6.      The central innovation of the new model is to clearly delineate the responsibilities and
accountability of those who conduct research and those who fund it. The Consortium unites the
international agricultural research and natural resource management Centers supported by the
CGIAR and provides a single contact point for donors. Similarly, CGIAR donors join together in
the CGIAR Fund the new multi-donor, multiyear trust fund administered by the World Bank with
the aim of harmonizing their contributions to agricultural research for development, improving
the quantity and quality of funding available, and engendering greater financial stability.

7.    These institutional changes shifted the focus from Centers to CGIAR Research Programs
(CRPs), the new instrument for planning and conducting research in the CGIAR. These are
implemented by one Lead Center and multiple partners, including partners external to the
CGIAR.



                                                                                             14
8.       The years 2010 and 2011 have seen important building blocks of the reformed CGIAR put
in place, including the CGIAR Fund and the CGIAR Consortium, the formulation and approval of
pillar institutional documents, and the start of the implementation of CGIAR Research Programs
(CRPs).

9.     The reformed CGIAR will have the structure and capacities to meet the challenges of the
twenty-first century, delivering improved food security in the developing world while
maintaining our environmental heritage for future generations.

Summary of significant accounting policies

10.     The Consortium of International Agricultural Research Centers (the “Consortium”)
prepares its statements of financial position, revenue and expenses in accordance with the
accounting policies and reporting practices prescribed by the CGIAR Financial Guidelines for
international agricultural research centers.

11.      For the years 2010 and 2011, the transactions relating to the Consortium’s financial
activities were recorded in the books of Bioversity International, World Fish Center and
Association of International Agricultural Research Centers (AIARC).               Each of these
organizations has been audited and received an unqualified opinion for both of these years.

12.      The major accounting policies followed at the Consortium are summarized below:

      a) Basis of Accounting
         These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and
         under the accrual basis of accounting.

      b) Translation of currencies
         The Consortium’s financial statements are stated in U.S. dollars. Those assets and
         liabilities denominated in other currencies are translated at the exchange rate in effect at
         the end of each financial period. Grants received in currencies other than U.S. dollars are
         recorded at market exchange rates in effect at the time the grant is received or, if
         outstanding at 31 December, at the market rate of exchange in effect at the year’s end.

         Income and expenses in currencies other than U.S. dollars are initially recorded at the
         official exchange rate on the dates of the transactions. Profits and losses arising on
         exchange are included in the annual results of operations.


      c) Net assets
         Net assets comprise the residual interest in an entity’s assets after liabilities are deducted.



                                                                                                       15
d) Revenue recognition
         Cash grants are recorded at the face value of the cash received or the US dollar equivalent.
         Grant revenue is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Consortium will
         comply with the conditions, and the grant will be received. Restricted grants are
         recognized as revenue to the extent of expenses incurred.

      e) Expenses
         Expenses are recognized on the accrual basis of accounting.

Exclusion

13.     These financial statements are only for the operational activities of the Alliance and the
Consortium. The Consortium also has fiduciary responsibility for amounts received from the
CGIAR Fund – these funds are fully disbursed to the CGIAR Centers on receipt, and are not
reflected in the Statements of Position and Revenue and Expenditure for 2011 and 2010 here
reported. These funds are for implementation of CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs), institutional
support (“stability funding for centers”), and genebank support.
14.     This set of financial statements does not include a Statement of Cash flows as the
Consortium did not itself hold any cash balances. Bioversity, World Fish and AIARC managed
cash transactions on behalf of the Consortium for these two years, and the cash flows have been
reflected in their audited Financial statements.


Mode of Operation/Integration

15.      The Alliance was based within the FAO facilities in Rome, Italy, and Bioversity provided
         human resources, financial and travel services. There was also a small office in
         Montevideo, Uruguay which provided support to the Board Chair. It was determined that
         Montpellier, France would be the permanent home of the Consortium Office, and in April
         the staff moved into temporary facilities there.

16.      While the financial support services during 2010 and 2011 were mostly provided by
         Bioversity, there were also receipts from contributions and payments of expenditures
         managed by World Fish, in Penang, Malaysia and AIARC, in Washington DC, USA.
17.      Pre-Reform System Operations refer to operational units in the areas of Information and
         Communications Technology, Knowledge Management, Intellectual Property and Gender.
         These were would down as separate functions during 2010 and 2011, and their activities
         are now part of the Consortium Office.

  • 3. Compilation report to the Board of Trustees of the Consortium Board On the basis of information provided by the management of the Consortium Office, CGIAR-IAU staff have assisted the Consortium Office in compiling the Statements of Position as at December 31, 2010 and 2011, and the accompanying Statements of Activities and Statements of Changes in Net Assets for the calendar years then ended. As stated in paragraph 2 of Management Statement of Responsibility for Financial Reporting , the Consortium Offices' financial records during calendar years 2010 and 2011 were maintained by three different organizations (Bioversity International in Rome, Italy, World Fish Centre in Penang, Malaysia and the Association for International Agricultural Research Centers in Arlington, Virginia, USA). The external auditors of all three organizations have audited their financial statements for calendar years 2010 and 2011 including Consortium Office transactions and have expressed unqualified opinions for both 2010 and 2011. We confirm that the Statement of Position as of 31 December 2010 and 2011, and the accompanying Statements of Activities and Statements of Changes in net Assets for the years then ended, have been compiled from information received from Bioversity International, the World Fish Center and the Association for International Agricultural Research Centers and are in accordance with such information.

  • 4. For the Years Ended 31 December 2010 and 2011 Statement of the Board Chair As part of the reform of the CGIAR, the Consortium Board came into existence on 1 January 2010. The subsequent two years saw significant steps in the reform process, including: • Approval of the majority of the CGIAR Research Program (CRP) portfolio not only by the Consortium Board but also by the Fund Council • Selection of Montpellier, France as the headquarters of the Consortium Office • Selection of key staff for the Consortium Office • The establishment of temporary offices in Montpellier for Consortium use until purpose- build facilities are completed • The recognition of the Consortium as an international organization initiated, with the first signatures on the Agreement (France and Hungary). The biggest achievement has been to begin creating a clear identity for the Consortium Board and Office in their roles working closely with the CGIAR member centers (especially their Boards of Trustees and Directors-General), the Fund Council and the Independent Science and Partnership Council (ISPC). The success of the reform requires solid relationships between institutions and individuals, and it is gratifying to report that a very positive spirit of collaboration is emerging. I believe that significant progress has been achieved in building a new CGIAR, although at the same time we acknowledge that much more needs to be done. Developments in the global landscape in the past years have underscored the need for international cooperation to achieve global food security. The challenges are well-known: food security for expanding populations in developing countries, climate change, shortages of water and arable land, to name but a few. In collaboration with its many partners, the CGIAR needs to ensure the efficiency, quality, relevance, and impact of its research in order to have a central role on the international stage. My past two years as chair of the Consortium Board have been rewarding. My fellow Board members and I are proud to be part of the reform and planning for the future so that the CGIAR can continue to carry out its critical mission. On behalf of the Consortium Board, I would like to express my great appreciation to the many CGIAR participants and partners for their dedication and hard work, and I look forward to continued collaboration to achieve the goals of the CGIAR. Carlos Perez del Castillo Chair,Consortium Board 4
  • 5. Statement on Risk Management The Consortium Board of Trustees has responsibility for ensuring an appropriate risk management system is in place to identify and manage high and significant risks for the implementation of the CGIAR Research Programs (CRP’s) that are the foundation of the overall CGIAR research objectives. In particular, the Consortium Board of Trustees has an obligation to CGIAR donors and the CGIAR Fund Council to account for CRP expenditure from all sources and to ensure that the Impact Pathway is efficient and effective. Risks may be financial, operational, or reputational and are inherent in the nature, modus operandi and location of the Consortium activities, and are dynamic as the operating environment changes. They include the following: low impact of scientific activities; misallocation of scientific efforts away from agreed priorities; loss of reputation for scientific excellence and integrity; business disruption; insufficient funding and liquidity problems; transaction processing failures; loss of assets including information assets; failure to mobilize and utilize qualified and experienced human and other resources; and failures in the execution of legal, fiduciary and agency responsibilities. The Board is in the process of adopting a risk management policy. This will include a framework by which management identifies, evaluates and prioritizes risks and opportunities across the organization; develops risk mitigation strategies which balance benefits with costs; monitors the implementation of these strategies; and periodically reports to the Board on results. The risk assessments will incorporate the results of collaborative risk assessments with CGIAR Centers, System Office components and other entities in relation to shared risks arising from jointly managed activities. The risk management framework seeks to draw upon international best practice in codes and standards. As part of a continuous improvement effort, the design and effectiveness of the risk management system and internal controls will be subject to ongoing review by the Board’s Audit Committee. Risk mitigation strategies include the development and implementation of monitoring and evaluation guidelines for all research activities. The Consortium endeavors to manage risk by ensuring that the appropriate infrastructure, controls, systems and people are in place throughout the organization. Key practices employed in managing risks regarding the CRP’s include clear policies and accountabilities, financial and programmatic reporting, and the implementation of a Performance Management System. The years of these financial statements are the first years of the Consortium’s operations, and while the risk management framework was not yet in place the Board is satisfied with the attention paid by management to risk management and the effectiveness of internal controls. Lynn Haight Chair, Audit Committee, Consortium Board 5
  • 6. Management Statement of Responsibility for Financial Reporting Consortium Management is required to prepare these financial statements, and is responsible for the accuracy and reliability of the financial information. The 2011 and 2010 aggregated financial statements, expressed in USD 000, have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies of the CGIAR as contained in the Financial Guidelines No. 2 – Accounting Policies and Reporting Practices. The Consortium’s accounts for the years 2011 and 2010 were maintained in three different locations: Bioversity (in Rome Italy), the World Fish Center (in Penang, Malaysia), and the Association for International Agricultural Research Centers (in Arlington, Virginia, USA). The Consortium’s financial transactions and balances were shown as a component of the financial statements of these three organizations in both years. These organizations have each maintained a system of internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and the financial records of the center are properly kept. Their external auditors independently audited the financial statements of the three entities, and unqualified opinions were expressed for both the years concerned. The Consortium also has fiduciary responsibility as the recipient of funds from the CGIAR Fund – these funds are fully disbursed to the CGIAR Centers on receipt, and are not reflected in these financial statements. These funds are for implementation of CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs), institutional support (“stability funding” for centers), and genebank support. The Consortium has been supported by the CGIAR shared Internal Audit Unit, which will provide regular and ongoing evaluations and recommendations regarding adequacy of the Consortium’s policies and procedures and the effectiveness of their implementation. The Consortium financial systems provide an accurate summary of its operations and enable management to identify and discern risks while at the same time providing assurance that financial statements and management reports are reliable. The Consortium Management is of the opinion that these financial statements, as presented in this document, give an accurate, reliable and complete view of the financial position of the Consortium for the two years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. There were no events subsequent to 31 December 2011 which would have any material impact on them. Carlos Perez Gordon MacNeil Board Chair Director of Finance and Corporate Services 6

  • 13. Notes to the Financial Statements Introduction 1. The CGIAR has been going through significant reforms, and 2010 in particular was a year of transition for the whole CGIAR. At the beginning of the year, there were two central organizations: the CGIAR Secretariat was still in place and the CGIAR Alliance was operating as an adhoc body to represent the CGIAR centers during the reform process. By the end of the year, both bodies had been dissolved and in their place were the Fund Council and Fund Office (representing the donors) and the CGIAR Consortium Board and Office (representing the centers). Statement of Purpose 2. The purpose of the Consortium is to provide leadership to the CGIAR system and coordinate activities among Member Centers and other Partners within the framework of CGIAR Research Programs, in order to enable them to enhance their individual and collective contribution to the achievement of the CGIAR vision, through such means as: a) Fostering a more conducive international environment for agricultural research for development and increasing CGIAR relevance and effectiveness within the institutional architecture for international development; b) Enhancing the impact of Member Center research through common strategic objectives, programmatic convergence, concerted action and fostering innovation; c) Together with the CGIAR Fund Council, expanding the financial resources available to the Member Centers to conduct their work; d) Managing the allocation of funds to meet priorities identified in the Strategy and Results Framework, and serving as a central point of fiduciary and operational accountability for all funds that pass to the Consortium and/or to the Member Centers from the Fund; e) Improving the cost-efficiency of each Member Center and of the CGIAR system as a whole through the provision of advice, shared functions and research platforms, and other means; and f) Identifying with the Member Centers and promoting opportunities to achieve gains in relevance, efficiency and effectiveness. 3. The Consortium shall in particular carry out the following activities– a) Develop, in cooperation with the Member Centers and with the input of a broad range of donors and partners, a unified CGIAR Strategy and Results Framework for approval by the Funders Forum; 13
  • 14. b) Maintain relations with Donors and the CGIAR Fund Council with a view to obtaining funding for CGIAR Research Programs and the institutional structure of the Member Centers; c) Develop, in cooperation with the Member Centers, approve and manage performance of CGIAR Research Programs; d) Keep under review the efficiency and optimal organizational structure of the system of Member Centers and decide on appropriate action in accordance with this Constitution; e) Develop, manage and operate, in cooperation with Member Centers, as appropriate, shared services for Member Centers with a view to increasing operational efficiency; f) Communicate the role of the CGIAR, the Consortium and the Member Centers and carry out advocacy in international fora. Vision and Mission 4. The goals of the CGIAR are reducing rural poverty, enhancing food security, improving nutrition and health, and sustainably managing natural resources. 5. In December 2009, the CGIAR opened a new chapter in its 39-year history by adopting a new business model. The 2009 CGIAR Business Meeting held on 8 December 2009 endorsed the reforms that had been designed over the previous two years, and approved the founding documents of the reformed CGIAR – including drafts of the Constitution of the Consortium on International Agricultural Research Centers, the CGIAR Fund Framework, the joint declaration for outcomes between the Consortium and the Fund, and the monitoring and evaluation framework. This initiated the process of establishing the CGIAR Fund and Fund Council, the Consortium, and the Independent Science and Partnership Council (ISPC). 6. The central innovation of the new model is to clearly delineate the responsibilities and accountability of those who conduct research and those who fund it. The Consortium unites the international agricultural research and natural resource management Centers supported by the CGIAR and provides a single contact point for donors. Similarly, CGIAR donors join together in the CGIAR Fund the new multi-donor, multiyear trust fund administered by the World Bank with the aim of harmonizing their contributions to agricultural research for development, improving the quantity and quality of funding available, and engendering greater financial stability. 7. These institutional changes shifted the focus from Centers to CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs), the new instrument for planning and conducting research in the CGIAR. These are implemented by one Lead Center and multiple partners, including partners external to the CGIAR. 14
  • 15. 8. The years 2010 and 2011 have seen important building blocks of the reformed CGIAR put in place, including the CGIAR Fund and the CGIAR Consortium, the formulation and approval of pillar institutional documents, and the start of the implementation of CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs). 9. The reformed CGIAR will have the structure and capacities to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century, delivering improved food security in the developing world while maintaining our environmental heritage for future generations. Summary of significant accounting policies 10. The Consortium of International Agricultural Research Centers (the “Consortium”) prepares its statements of financial position, revenue and expenses in accordance with the accounting policies and reporting practices prescribed by the CGIAR Financial Guidelines for international agricultural research centers. 11. For the years 2010 and 2011, the transactions relating to the Consortium’s financial activities were recorded in the books of Bioversity International, World Fish Center and Association of International Agricultural Research Centers (AIARC). Each of these organizations has been audited and received an unqualified opinion for both of these years. 12. The major accounting policies followed at the Consortium are summarized below: a) Basis of Accounting These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and under the accrual basis of accounting. b) Translation of currencies The Consortium’s financial statements are stated in U.S. dollars. Those assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the end of each financial period. Grants received in currencies other than U.S. dollars are recorded at market exchange rates in effect at the time the grant is received or, if outstanding at 31 December, at the market rate of exchange in effect at the year’s end. Income and expenses in currencies other than U.S. dollars are initially recorded at the official exchange rate on the dates of the transactions. Profits and losses arising on exchange are included in the annual results of operations. c) Net assets Net assets comprise the residual interest in an entity’s assets after liabilities are deducted. 15
  • 16. d) Revenue recognition Cash grants are recorded at the face value of the cash received or the US dollar equivalent. Grant revenue is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Consortium will comply with the conditions, and the grant will be received. Restricted grants are recognized as revenue to the extent of expenses incurred. e) Expenses Expenses are recognized on the accrual basis of accounting. Exclusion 13. These financial statements are only for the operational activities of the Alliance and the Consortium. The Consortium also has fiduciary responsibility for amounts received from the CGIAR Fund – these funds are fully disbursed to the CGIAR Centers on receipt, and are not reflected in the Statements of Position and Revenue and Expenditure for 2011 and 2010 here reported. These funds are for implementation of CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs), institutional support (“stability funding for centers”), and genebank support. 14. This set of financial statements does not include a Statement of Cash flows as the Consortium did not itself hold any cash balances. Bioversity, World Fish and AIARC managed cash transactions on behalf of the Consortium for these two years, and the cash flows have been reflected in their audited Financial statements. Mode of Operation/Integration 15. The Alliance was based within the FAO facilities in Rome, Italy, and Bioversity provided human resources, financial and travel services. There was also a small office in Montevideo, Uruguay which provided support to the Board Chair. It was determined that Montpellier, France would be the permanent home of the Consortium Office, and in April the staff moved into temporary facilities there. 16. While the financial support services during 2010 and 2011 were mostly provided by Bioversity, there were also receipts from contributions and payments of expenditures managed by World Fish, in Penang, Malaysia and AIARC, in Washington DC, USA. 17. Pre-Reform System Operations refer to operational units in the areas of Information and Communications Technology, Knowledge Management, Intellectual Property and Gender. These were would down as separate functions during 2010 and 2011, and their activities are now part of the Consortium Office. 16
