20 (c). Audit report and financial statements (for 2019 and 2020)
Abstract
On behalf of the Board of Auditors, I have the honour to present to you the major findings from the audit reports on the financial statements of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change for the years 2019 and 2020.
We audited the financial statements and reviewed the operations of UNFCCC for the years ended 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the audits were partly carried out remotely in 2020 and 2021. We duly considered the secretariat’s responses to the draft reports and adequately reflected them in the final reports (copies of which can be obtained here today).
