Improving Financial Management in the United Nations by Strengthening Audits and Evaluations

Rapidly increasing budgets of the United Nations (U.N.) system have increased the need for greatly improved financial management. Improved financial management will increase efficiency and economy in U.N. operations at all levels and will permit a greater portion of the available funds to be applied directly to programs. These needs can be accomplished only with active support of the member governments, including the United States and U.N. officials at the highest levels.
