Activity report

The activity report (also called reporting) helps a higher-level body to assess the financial situation of an association and to prepare for the future. The committee gives an account of its activities in the past year to the general meeting. For this purpose, it prepares the annual report and the annual financial statements. The administrative office or the working groups report regularly to the committee. The activity report always has a content-related and a financial component. Together with the controlling reports, it forms the basis for the superior body to assume its responsibilities. The executive committee, for instance, reports to the general meeting on its activities in the past year (annual report and annual financial statements). The administrative office reports regularly to the committee. Activity reports are submitted orally or in writing.
