There are no material budgetary implications for this decision.

The Board approves the 2006 budget in the amount of US$2,015,000 to be used exclusively for the Office of the Inspector General ("OIG"), as set out on page 6 of the Report of the Finance and Audit Committee (GF/B13/9) and as proposed by the Inspector General and recommended by the Finance and Audit Committee.
