Budget, finance and administration

The WTO Secretariat regularly informed members of the on-going WTO organizational review. The Committee on Budget, Finance and Administration presented five reports to the General Council in 2014. It reviewed reports on the financial and budgetary situation of the organization, the arrears for members’ and observers’ contributions, the WTO pension plan and the funding of the building project. The Committee reviewed the annual report on diversity in the WTO Secretariat, the annual report on grading structure and promotions, and the annual report of the Office of Internal Audit.
