Other financial info
The organisation of NEON’s accounting and budget is based on a division of functions necessary for its well-functioning. This division is designed to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the accounts, budget and payments, and their matching with purchase orders or contracts.
If the various roles are to change, following elections, the procedure could be adapted by a vote at a General Assembly.
1. Order preparation and procurement process; Purchase order authorisation
The order preparation and procurement process, the reception of goods and services delivered and checking their compliance with the purchase order or contract; and billing/debt claiming for third parties, are made by the French-speaking Belgian Ombudsman.
Checking the budget availability and authorising the purchase order is provided by a member of the French-speaking Belgian Ombudsman. The order is signed by the Chair.
2. Accounting
Entering the orders and their imputations within the accounts and budget, encoding bills and other expenses in the spending list, as well as the billing/debt claiming for third parties and checking their compliance with the purchase orders or contracts, are made by a member of the Belgian Energy Ombudsman Service under the supervision of the Dutch-speaking Belgian Ombudsman for Energy.
All original materials for procurement, purchase orders, contracts and accounting records are kept in accounting.
3. Payment of invoices
Following the invoices reception, the payment authorisation is submitted to the Executive Committee and is settled by the Chair and the Treasurer signing together. If the Chair and the Treasurer are unable to do so, such statements shall be made by the deputy Chair and the deputy Treasurer, and a Member of the Board of Directors.
In 2014, pending the full budget availability, the Belgian Energy Ombudsman Service, within the limits of its financial resources, makes repayable advances.
A regular exchange of information to the various involved bodies is provided at each stage by the staff member of the Belgian Energy Ombudsman Service. The accounts statement shall be sent to the members of the Board of Directors every six months at least.
Original documents mentioned under point 3, after being transferred to the Belgian Energy Ombudsman Service, are scanned and circulate exclusively in that form. The requested signatures will be affixed to the PDF documents and sent to the Belgian Energy Ombudsman Service. -
