Accounting controls are carried out by the Regulatory Accounting Consolidation Department. The accounting recognition of market transactions (borrowings, derivatives and short-term investments) is carried out by the Post-Market Division of the Treasury and Financial Markets Department. Accounting controls are carried out by the Regulatory Accounting Consolidation Department. Personnel expenses and provisions related to salary and employee benefit expenses are recognised in the accounts by the Compensation, Welfare and Expatriation Division of the Human Resources Department. Accounting controls are carried out by the Regulatory Accounting Consolidation Department. The separation between the engagement, accounting and execution functions for treasury operations is maintained by both the organisation of services and the implementation of procedures. Accounting entry is largely decentralised (international offices, other Head Office services). Accounting control is split between banking operations and general expenses. The Group’s accounting is audited by two audit firms (KPMG and BDO) which were appointed by the Board of Directors on 2 ɸ April 2020 for the six financial years in 2020-2025. The Regulatory Accounting Consolidation Department is in contact with the external auditors (statutory auditors, tax authorities, French Prudential Supervisory and Resolution Authority). An accounting procedures manual that includes procedures and accounting schematics for all transactions is available on the intranet site. It includes a procedure for accounting controls. With regard specifically to the audit trail, its functioning is described below. The accounting system is structured around a multi-company (AFD-Proparco-Sogefom) and multi-currency accounting software package powered by business applications and auxiliary accounting systems. The conversion of foreign currency transactions is performed by a specific module of the accounting software package, which publishes control reports at each step of the conversion and calculation of translation adjustments. A procedure describes the controls to be performed at each stage of the conversion treatment for the exchange positions until the determination of translation adjustments. An “Infocentre” application makes it possible to retrieve the accounting information for balances and accountingmovements for each transaction or at the desired aggregated level. In accordance with Article ɸ 85 of the Decree of 3 ɸ November 2014, the audit trail allows the unitary event to be traced back to the accounting aggregate or, conversely, from the accounting aggregate to the corresponding unit events. In the case of a grouping of accounting movements within an upstream interface, the audit trail also makes it possible to retrieve the unit events that make up those grouping movements. In addition, all IT applications owned by the Regulatory Accounting Consolidation Department have IT security classification in terms of (i) ɸ availability (availability required in the event of an extreme shock and current service availability),

The Grant Committee (COSUB): like the CCR, its role is: P to verify all the due diligence carried out at the time of project appraisal; P to examine the financing proposals prior to their submission to the AFD decision-making bodies; P to validate the terms of resolution proposals; P to ensure the economic balance of the grant activity as a whole; P to log any reservations expressed by the Compliance Department, the Second Opinion Unit or any other member of the committee; P to record the opinion of the Compliance Department and the final opinion of the Second Opinion Unit and to log any follow up rights issued. The COSUB chair depends on the amounts of the projects presented, with the procedure providing for three levels of delegation (the Head of the Geographical Department, the Executive Operations Director or Executive Management). Information is also passed on to executive officers via memos which formally record, for example, the regulatory verdicts of the Second Opinions Unit or compliance opinions, legal warnings or notification of thresholds being exceeded. 4.3.2 Internal control procedures and organisation of audit trail for accounting and fi nancial information (Article ɸ L.225-100-1-5) The AFD Group’s accounting is handled by the Regulatory Accounting Consolidation Department of the AFD Finance Department (DEF).
