Financial Reporting

An independent audit of the ISC’s finances in 2021 pointed to a healthy financial outlook, as well as the Council’s excellent conformity with French legal standards for financial reporting.

Financial Reporting

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in lower than expected expenditure on governance functions in 2021, as statutory meetings and meetings of project steering groups moved online, and communications expenses were also lower than expected. The continuation of the pandemic continues to create uncertainty for the ISC and for many of its members, and a fundraising strategy is being developed to provide additional support for the ISC’s future activities in the coming years.
