The creation of a standard information base for all AI entities
A system for transfer, collation and analysis of information
A process for setting and reviewing income forecasts and targets
Systems to enable both global and local priority setting
Improved reporting mechanisms to strengthen internal and external accountability
Systems to evaluate the impact of AI’s work

DECIDES that each AI entity will submit a retrospective and a prospective report covering activities and resources as presented below to allow internal and external accountability.

ASKS the IEC: to reinforce the existing tools and mechanisms that enable global financial management such as Aggregated Accounts; Investment and Cashflow Management; Currency Hedging; Reserves Management; Fundraising Skill Share etc.
ASKS the IEC to report to the next ICM, on their progress in the implementation of these changes.

Detailed income forecast and projections must also be included.

Each major AI entity will submit, on a six-monthly basis, a précis financial report to the IEC showing income and expenditure compared to budget. A summary report will distributed to the movement each six months.
