Prepared in accordance with IPSAS (International Public Sector Accounting Standards), the statements reflect the adoption of accrual-based accounting to enhance transparency and comparability.

The balance sheet shows a significant increase in total assets (€4.22M in 2020 vs. €1.79M in 2019), primarily driven by cash and cash equivalents (€4.17M). Liabilities also rose, with deferred income and accrued expenses accounting for the largest share (€2.92M). The profit and loss account highlights revenues of €1.37M, including contributions from members, EU projects, and in-kind contributions, while operating costs totaled €363.85K, with staff and consultancy expenses as the major components.

The notes elaborate on accounting policies, asset classifications, and deferred income, emphasizing the organization’s alignment with EU harmonization efforts in public sector accounting. The statements also address COVID-19’s non-adjusting impact on operations and confirm compliance with Italian fiscal regulations, including IRAP calculations.
