The Financial Regulations and Rules (FRRs) are an overarching source of authority for the way UNFPA manages its Funds. They constitute the broad principles, directives and procedures governing the establishment and implementation of UNFPA’s budget and the control of UNFPA’s finances. Regulations can only be amended by the Executive Board, whereas Rules can be amended by the Executive Director.
This policy constitutes the foundation for the UNFPA's approach to the Internal Control Framework. Its objective is to strengthen internal controls in UNFPA in accorance with internationally recognized principles and best practices.
This policy defines the segregation of duties principles and related controls built in the system to ensure that no UNFPA personnel has the ability to control all phases of a process, sub-process or key transaction. Segregation of duties is a key element of UNFPA Internal Control Framework and is a powerful tool to mitigate the risk of errors and wrongdoing, including fraud.
This policy establishes the methodology, processes, and procedures for an effective Enterprise Risk Management at UNFPA, which will enable the organization to achieve its strategic objectives, 2030 Agenda, and transformative results through an effective response to risks and opportunities.
