Finance and Budget Policies

The policies in this section cover UNFPA Financial and Budgetary Policies and Procedures. The objective of the UNFPA Financial and Budgetary Policies and Procedures is to disseminate UNFPA's financial and budgetary objectives, policies and procedural controls to all organizational units of the Organization and for application by all staff. The Finance Branch and Resource Planning and Budgeting Branch of the Division for Management Services perform a wide variety of functions dealing with the financial and budgetary control and transactions of UNFPA.

As much as possible, this section is aimed at giving the user an understanding and appreciation of the operational budget and accounting policies and procedures, which have been established within the framework of the UNFPA Financial Regulations and Rules that were adopted and approved by the UNFPA Executive Board.

Please note that the Policies and Procedures Manual is necessarily a "living document" subject to changes and updates. All policies, even those needing minor or substantive revision are official policy of the UNFPA and therefore are in effect.
