5. Financial and Working Time Report
Annex 1 provides the interim CARIM accounts for the year 2014. CARIM spent ca. 4% less than budgeted. The reasons are as follows:
• Short gap in employment between end of Sabina Stein and start of Angela Ullmann;
• Non-use of printing costs for publications, because they were not finished;
• Use of workshop money for summer school and RMC (as agreed with RPC).
According to RPC FDFA, it is possible to use the unused money from 2013 and 2014 in 2015 if it is for workshop activities that could not be organized in the past phase. Table below provides a budget on how CARIM suggests to use this, and will discuss this with RPC FDFA on the 21 January 2015.
Regarding hours, see table below. Due to over hours and hours worked by Valerie Sticher on MSP time for CARIM, the misbalance between MSP and CARIM from end of 2013 has been evened out by end of 2014, as long as the mediation support team covers the 55 over-hours of CARIM from 2014 from MSP time in 2015.
