Use of funds
The most recent Annual Report offers a detailed picture of the financial situation of our organisation. The most important trend in the past few years has been the continuous improvement of the equity position of the Foundation, with real-terms increases in the overall net result. The Foundation’s finances are audited annually by an independent external auditor and overseen by the Supervisory Board, which is independent from the Foundation's Executive Board.
