REPORT TO MEMBER CHURCHES ON THE 2017 FINANCIAL REPORT

We present with pleasure the financial report of the World Council of Churches for 2017, at the mid-point of the cycle of work from 2014-2021. The year 2017 completes the first of two four-year planning periods, shaped by the WCC Strategic Plan 2014-2017, and the accompanying financial strategy. The 10th Assembly, Busan 2013, called the churches and ecumenical partners to join in a “pilgrimage of justice and peace.” In 2017, the regional focus of WCC’s work turned to Africa, while, under the banner of the pilgrimage, there was a recommitment to ecumenical diakonia. The general secretary reaffirmed that “as churches and as a fellowship, we are here to serve.”

Financial results 2017In 2017, the World Council of Churches reported total income of CHF 25.4 million, total expenditure of CHF 26.2 million and a resultant net decrease in funds and reserves of CHF 0.8 million, slightly less favourable than the budgeted decrease in funds and reserves of CHF 0.4 million. In 2017, total income exceeded total income in the prior year by CHF 0.4 million.

Contributions income, gratefully received, totaled CHF 17.4 million, being CHF 1 million below budget. The substantial reason for the variance from budget was timing differences, with certain special project income, or other contributions, being contracted instead for 2018, together with related expenditures. Other income totaled CHF 8.1 million and was CHF 0.6 million higher than budgeted, principally in relation to net financial income and expense.

Net increase in funds compared to budget 2017Executive committee approved a budget for 2017 with a reduction in funds and reserves of CHF 0.4 million. The table below compares the actual and budgeted movements in fund categories before transfers of funds to/(from) general reserves and other funds.

Total net decrease in funds (384) (756) (372)

Programme fundsBalances held by the programmatic area Unity, Mission and Ecumenical Relations closed in 2017 at a level CHF 0.6 million below budget, principally because contributions for the Conference on World Mission and Evangelism 2018 were CHF 0.4 million lower than expected and preparatory expenditures were CHF 0.2 million higher than budget. All other programme fund balances closed in 2017 at a level CHF 0.2 million net above budget.

Financial Report 20176

Unrestricted fundsUnrestricted funds closed CHF 0.2 million lower than budgeted, principally because an additional depreciation charge was recognised concerning the Ecumenical Centre archives building, which is planned for demolition in 2019 in the context of the Green Village real estate development project.

General reservesGeneral reserves reflect assets available to the Council, after meeting obligations and liabilities, and without recourse to land and buildings. In 2017, the general reserves closed at CHF 7.1 million, being CHF 0.9 million above the target set by central committee in 2014.

The general reserves have increased by almost CHF 1 million during the planning period 2014-2017. A net surplus of CHF 0.2 million in unrestricted funds was credited during 2014-2017 to the general reserves, and no programme deficits were charged. The Council maintained its financial strategy of reinvestment in buildings and equipment at very modest levels only during the four-year term, with a favourable impact on general reserves.

The general reserves are covered by cash and Swiss franc bond funds, invested in accordance with the WCC Investment Policy.

Bossey guest house and conference centreIn 2017, the Bossey guest house reported a net deficit of CHF 47,000, close to the break-even budget set (2016: net deficit CHF 121,000). With adjustment for the depreciation charge covered, the result represented a positive cash flow for the Council of CHF 454,000, which funded CHF 312,000 of loan reimbursements and contributed CHF 142,000 towards capital expenditure. Capital expenditure for the facilities at Bossey totaled CHF 250,000 in 2017.

Membership income In 2017, membership contributions totaled CHF 3.84 million (2016: CHF 3.86 million).

Of the 348 churches registered as members, 180 (52%) paid a membership contribution in 2017, the lowest number for the period 2014-2017. Two-thirds of member churches, 233, paid a membership contribution in either or both of the years 2016 and 2017.

In 2014, the WCC central committee set a goal of increasing membership contributions by 2% to 5% per year with reference to the 2012 contribution levels. Many member churches have increased their membership contribution in local currency during the period 2014-2017. In 2017, 121 member churches contributed more in local currency than in 2016.

The efforts of member churches to increase contributions in local currency are not reflected in results stated in Swiss francs, particularly because of the strengthening of the Swiss franc, following a change in Swiss National Bank policies in 2015. If the exchange rates of 2014 were applied to the local currency contributions in 2017, total membership contributions would be CHF 237,000 higher, at CHF 4.08 million. The WCC financial strategy 2014-2017 set the target for membership contributions in 2017 at CHF 4.2 million (2012: CHF 4.3 million).

The Annual Summary of Contributions, included in this report, provides a comprehensive list of all membership contributions.

Capital expenditure Total capital expenditure 2017 was CHF 340,000 (budget: CHF 518,000). The balcony at Petit Bossey was renovated, and some windows were renewed in the Château de Bossey, improving insulation. At the Ecumenical Centre, car park barriers were installed.


Deficit fund to be covered from the development projectThe Council’s balance sheet includes a deficit fund of CHF 23.8 million, to be covered from the real estate development project. The deficit fund was recorded following the funding of an extraordinary contribution of CHF 24 million to the WCC Retirement Fund in 2011. The WCC Retirement Fund was refinanced to the level required by regulatory authorities. Assets and obligations were then transferred to an independent collective pension fund, and the WCC Retirement Fund was liquidated.

Green VillageIn November 2017, the Area Development Plan (ADP) for the Green Village real estate development project was adopted by the Canton of Geneva, and the main building of the Ecumenical Centre was classified, together with the Brugger garden.

Set in gardens, with walkways and cycle paths, Green Village includes six new buildings, with offices, an apartment building and a hotel-residence, grouped around the Ecumenical Centre main building, which is to be renovated. Principles of sustainability and ecology will be hallmarks of the project. The Council aims to meet three objectives in realizing the project: namely, to reimburse a loan of CHF 24 million (see above); to renovate the Ecumenical Centre to the required standards and to meet future needs; and to generate rental income to cover operating costs.

Executive committee took decisions in 2017 determining the first steps in the sales strategy. Work moved forward with the architects to prepare detailed plans for the first two buildings and underground car park. In early April 2018, the building permit requests have been filed, with the expectation of approval in March 2019. Following an investor competition, it is anticipated that construction works may commence in late 2019.

Prospects for the futureFrom 2015 to 2017, the Council’s work has benefited from three years of stability in programme income, at the level of about CHF 18 million. The budget for 2018 is similarly profiled. Following the recommendation of central committee in June 2016, the draft WCC financial strategy 2018-2021 adopts a steady income scenario for the current four-year planning period. This welcome stability is attained, and can be retained, only with the continued and growing involvement of member churches and ecumenical partners in the programmatic work, a factor central to the income development plan. New sources of income could most likely be identified for country-specific activities, with an inter-faith approach to peace-building and social cohesion, and work related to the Sustainable Development Goals.

The transition period for the real estate development project will present challenges, including demolition of wings, before Green Village takes shape. A new dimension to the project has emerged, following the affirmation by the general secretary and steering committee of the general direction for the renovation and redesign of the central building. The design was selected because of the potential to turn renovation costs in this listed and historical building to a much needed economic advantage. Plans propose increased light and life in the building, which would reclaim its identity as the Ecumenical Centre, accommodating working areas sufficient for all of the Council’s staff, as well as a redesigned conference centre.

AppreciationThe Council remains truly grateful for the constancy, generosity and partnership of the member churches, specialized ministries and others, expressed in their active engagement in its work and their support offered in so many ways. The Council gives thanks for this continued solidarity and commitment.

Report of the statutory auditor to the executive committee and to the member churches of the World Council of Churches, Geneva

As statutory auditor, we have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the World Council of Churches, which comprise the balance sheet, income and expenditure statement, statement of movements in funds and reserves, cash flow statement and notes, for the year ended 31 December 2017.

Executive Committee’s ResponsibilityThe executive committee is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Swiss law and the Council’s Constitution and Rules, and in accordance with the Council’s accounting policies. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant to the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The executive committee is further responsible for selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law, Swiss Auditing Standards and International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control system relevant to the entity’s preparation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control system. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

OpinionIn our opinion, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 comply with Swiss law, as well as with the Council’s Constitution and Rules and the Council’s accounting policies.

We further came to the conclusion that the Annual Summary of Contributions is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements.


Report on other legal requirementsWe confirm that we meet the legal requirements on licensing according to the Auditor Oversight Act (AOA) and independence (article 728 CO) and that there are no circumstances incompatible with our independence.

In accordance with article article 728a paragraph 1 item 3 CO and Swiss Auditing Standard 890, we confirm that an internal control system exists which has been designed for the preparation of consolidated financial statements according to the instructions of the Executive Committee.

We recommend that the consolidated financial statements submitted to you be approved.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor the year ended 31 December 2016

1. OrganisationThe World Council of Churches is a fellowship of 348 churches from around the world “which confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the scriptures and therefore seek to fulfil together their common calling to the glory of the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.” It was founded in 1948 in response to a growing sense that a formal, international body constituted by the churches was needed to strengthen efforts to express the fundamental unity of Christians. Its members include churches from virtually every major Protestant tradition, nearly all self-governing Orthodox churches and a growing number of independent churches, especially in countries of the South. Its work primarily involves the unity of the churches and their common witness. Major education, health, justice and peace activities are a significant part of its mandate, as well as human rights advocacy and programmes in support of women and against racism and violence. Interpreting the reflections of the 10th Assembly, in 2017 the Council’s activities were carried out through the following programmatic areas:

Unity, Mission and Ecumenical RelationsPublic WitnessDiakonia Ecumenical FormationCommunicationGeneral Secretariat

In addition, programmatic activities were planned and conducted together with focus on the following themes, defined as transversal issues: Church and ecumenical relations; Youth engagement in the ecumenical movement; Just community of women and men; Inter-religious dialogue and cooperation; and Spiritual life.

Programmatic teams were supported by the Communication team and the following support service teams: Income monitoring and development and Planning, monitoring, evaluation and reporting (IMD & PMER), IT and facility services, Human resources, and Finance. With its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, and with 123 staff (2016: 111 staff), the Council is recognised under Swiss law as an international, non-governmental, non-profit organisation. The Council is exempt from Swiss corporate taxation.

2. Accounting policiesThe significant accounting policies adopted by the Council in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out below.

(i) Basis of preparation The financial statements of the Council have been prepared on a basis consistent with its statutes. The Council’s accounting policies and the format used for the presentation of its financial statements are designed to present fairly the programmes and other activities of the Council.

The financial statements are presented in Swiss Francs, rounded to the nearest thousand, since a majority of the Council’s activities is conducted in this currency. They are prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss, which are stated at their fair value.

The accounting policies are consistent with those applied by the Council for the year ended 31 December 2016.


These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of commercial accounting as set out in the Swiss Code of Obligations (Art 957 to 963b CO), effective since 1 January 2013.

(ii) Basis of consolidation The representative offices and subsidiaries of the World Council of Churches listed below are controlled by the World Council of Churches, and their financial statements are included in the consolidated financial statements. Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised gains from such transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the World Council of Churches. Control exists when the Council has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. In 2017, there was one subsidiary. In accordance with its constitution, the executive board reports through its executive secretary to the relevant programme of the Council.

Ecumenical Disability Advocates Network, Kenya EDAN was registered in Nairobi under the Non-governmental Organizations Coordination Act,

Kenya, in 2003.

In 2017, there were seven representative offices. None had formal legal registration within the country of operations. Ecumenical United Nations Office (Ecumenical UNO), USA Ecumenical UNO is located at the UN headquarters in New York, where under a fiscal agency

and service agreement, the General Board of Global Ministries of The United Methodist Church acted as custodian.

World Council of Churches-Ecumenical Accompaniers Programme in Palestine and Israel

(WCC-EAPPI), Jerusalem WCC-EAPPI operates from a representative office in Jerusalem, where a locally registered non-

governmental organization acts as custodian.

World Council of Churches-Ecumenical HIV and AIDS Initiatives and Advocacy (WCC-EHAIA) In 2017, WCC-EHAIA operated in the following locations. For each office, except in Kenya and

Zimbabwe, a locally registered non-governmental organization acts as custodian. WCC-EHAIA Central Region Co-ordination Office, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of

Congo WCC-EHAIA Eastern Region Co-ordination Office, Nairobi, Kenya WCC-EHAIA Lusophone Region Co-ordination Office, Luanda, Angola

(iii) Recognition of contributions and membership income Contributions from donors are recognised in the financial statements when they have been received or confirmed in writing by pledges and when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received. Contributions which carry donor imposed restrictions are ascribed either to a programme, where the purpose of the contribution is consistent with the objectives of the programme as a whole, or to a project within that programme, or to one or several activities within a project.


Membership income, which is payable on a calendar year basis, is recognised on an accruals basis. Membership income received relating to future periods is treated as deferred income. Donations in kind (of fixed assets, for example) are recognised at fair value at the date of donation. Revenue from recharged costs is recognised when the service or basic expenditure is fulfilled or, if applicable, ownership of related assets has been transferred.

(iv) Recognition of federal and local government and other grants for capital expenditure State grants or other significant grants received for expenditure on capital assets are treated as deferred income which is then recognised in the income and expenditure account as income over the useful life of the asset acquired. Grants are recognised only when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Council will comply with the conditions, if any, of the grant. Unconditional grants are recognised in the income and expenditure account when they become receivable.

(v) Recognition of expenditure Expenditure is recognised in the financial statements on an accruals basis. Contributions to third parties paid out of Programme Funds are recognised when the commitment to pay has been made before the end of the year and the payment relates to the current year, and where there is either a legal or constructive obligation to pay. Contributions to third parties paid out of Programme Funds close to the year end are recognized as prepayments when matched with budgeted donor contributions for the following financial year.

(vi) Foreign currency Transactions in currencies other than the Swiss franc are converted into Swiss francs at rates which approximate the actual rates ruling at the transaction date. At the balance sheet date monetary assets (including investments) and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are converted into Swiss francs at the rate of exchange ruling at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies that are stated at historical cost are translated at the foreign exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Realised and unrealised exchange differences are reported in the income and expenditure account. The assets and liabilities of the Council’s foreign operations are translated into Swiss francs at foreign exchange rates ruling on the balance sheet date, while income and expenditure are translated at rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions.

(vii) Investments The Council has designated all its investments as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss. The Council does not have any financial instruments classified as held for trading, and does not hold any derivative financial instruments. A financial instrument is classified at fair value through profit and loss if it is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial instruments are designated at fair value through profit or loss if the Council manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value. Upon initial recognition, these instruments are recognised at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognised in the statement of income and expenditure when incurred. Gains and losses arising from subsequent changes in fair value are recognised in the statement of income and expenditure. Investments are recognised or derecognised by the Council at the date it commits to purchase or sell the investments.


The fair value of listed investments is their quoted bid price at the balance sheet date. The fair value of unlisted investments is determined by valuation techniques applied consistently on an annual basis. Investment income consists principally of interest and dividends, and net realised and unrealised gains on changes in fair value. Interest income is recognised on an accruals basis, taking into account the effective yield on the asset. Dividend income is recognised in the period in which the dividend is declared. As the Council’s investments are managed externally on a portfolio basis, all investment income is disclosed net in the statement of income and expenditure, within financial income/(expense). Investments held derive principally from restricted or designated income, and the terms of the restrictions and designations require in general that investment income be used to finance operations. Consequently net financial income/(expense) is treated as operating income. Investments are classified as non-current to the extent to which they represent endowment funds held or other long-term obligations. All other investments are current. (viii) Land, property and equipment Land, property and equipment are stated at historic cost, or, in the case of donated assets, at the fair market value when donated, and are depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives. The useful life of a building is estimated at 50 years; of building installations 20 or 25 years, of hotel and catering installations, ten years; of furniture and equipment, five years; and of computer equipment, three years. Borrowing costs relating to the construction of buildings and equipment are capitalised and included in the cost of the assets concerned and depreciated over the useful life of the respective asset. When parts of an item of land, buildings and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items. (ix) Employee benefits: Pension plan Contributions which the Council is obliged to make to the Council’s pension plan are recognised as an expense in the statement of income and expenditure. (x) Fair value The fair value of investments is reported in Note 5 to the financial statements. The fair value of cash, overdrafts, other financial assets and accounts payable are not materially different from the carrying amounts. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on market conditions and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. (xi) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and highly liquid investments with a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Council’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows. (xii) Accounts receivable Accounts receivable are stated at cost less impairment losses. (xiii) Accounts payable Accounts payable are stated at cost.


(xiv) Interest bearing loans and borrowings Interest bearing loans and borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the statement of income and expenditure over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis. (xv) Impairment The carrying amounts of the Council’s assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is an indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. (xvi) Use of estimates The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenditure during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has carefully considered the development, selection and disclosure of the Council’s critical accounting policies and estimates and the application of these policies and estimates. The most critical judgments and estimates made relate to the assessment of provisions, in particular concerning the pension fund scheme; the reasonable assurance regarding contributions and membership income receivable and the probability assumptions underlying recognition of service bonus obligations.

Non-current investments are long-term investments, intended to be held for more than one year. Equity securities include CHF 2,577,000 (2016: CHF 2,458,000) managed on the Council’s behalf by the Ecumenical Trust, a not-for-profit organisation under section 501 (c) (3) of the US Internal Revenue Code. The assets managed by the Ecumenical Trust are quoted and held in the New Covenant Growth Fund and the New Covenant Balanced Growth Fund. Non-current investments held in debt securities include CHF 561,000 (2016: CHF 515,000) invested in Oikocredit. This investment is the only investment held that is not quoted. Its fair value, evidenced by recent transactions, has been determined based on the buy-back value stipulated in Oikocredit’s articles of association.

A permit request has been submitted in April 2018 for demolition of the former library and archives building in 2019. An accelerated depreciation plan has therefore been applied to the former library, with effect to the estimated end of its useful life, scheduled at 31 March 2019. An additional depreciation charge of CHF 217,000 is recognised as a result of the accelerated depreciation. An architectural survey dated 6 February 2012 estimated the intrinsic value of the Ecumenical Centre estate at CHF 66,435,000. An architectural survey of the Château de Bossey dated 25 March 1999 estimated the intrinsic value of the estate at CHF 18,780,000. Since that date, investment for renovation from 2009-2012 included CHF 7,298,000, principally for the development of a conference centre. An architectural survey of the staff residence building dated 16 February 2006 estimated the intrinsic value of that building at CHF 12,794,000.


The net book value of land, buildings and equipment includes CHF 3,106,000 (2016: CHF 3,106,000) recorded as donated land and buildings. In 2017, no depreciation was recorded in the Restricted fund for fixed assets related to donated buildings (2016: none). The insurance value of the staff residential development is CHF 16,200,000, of the Ecumenical Centre including installations, CHF 64,779,000 and of the Château de Bossey and other buildings and their contents on the estate at Bossey, CHF 28,721,000. Mortgage loans and credit lines secured against the land and buildings are detailed at Notes 9 and 10.

Current deferred income represents principally membership and contributions income received relating to future periods. Non-current deferred income represents grants received for the renovation of buildings, including CHF 1,054,000 (2016: CHF 1,088,000) being the amortized balance of a grant of CHF 1,700,000 received in 1999 from the Canton of Geneva for the Ecumenical Centre, and CHF 508,000 (2016: CHF 523,000) being the amortized balance of various other grants received for the renovation of the Château de Bossey.

9. Current Interest Bearing Loans Current interest bearing loans are loans payable within one year and include current maturities related to mortgage loans described in Note 10.

10. Non-current interest bearing loans Non-current interest bearing loans total CHF 29,663,000 as at 31 December 2017 (2016: CHF 20,202,000). They are secured on property as follows:

2017 2016 Secured on: CHF 000 CHF 000 Staff residential building 9,827 9,954 Château de Bossey 10,538 10,850 Ecumenical Centre 26,075 26,175 46,440 46,979 Less current maturities: (16,777) (26,777) 29,663 20,202

These loans, stated below at value on issue date before reimbursements, carry fixed interest at the rates and for the durations set out below:

The two mortgage loans, each of CHF 12,000,000, funded an extraordinary contribution to the WCC Retirement Fund, recognized as an extraordinary charge in 2011. Loans of CHF 14,000,000 matured on 31 March 2018 and were reimbursed at that date. On 1 April 2018, a loan of CHF 2,000,000, maturing on 31 March 2022 was issued, with annual interest at a fixed rate of 1.5%. A loan of CHF 12,000,000, maturing on 30 September 2019 was issued, with annual interest at 1.16%. The loans are repayable as follows:

11. Programme funds Programme funds represent amounts received from donors, and restricted for use within the Programme, project or activity to which they are credited. Programme funds are detailed by programmatic area and transversal priority on Schedules V, VI (a) and VI (b). A reduction in these funds does not represent a loss but the use of funds for the purposes for which they were intended. The separate Appendix to the Financial Statements details the opening balances, income, expenditure, transfers and closing balances of each activity, by Programme. Programme funds include one debit balance of CHF 16,000 (at activity reference D, D52F), which is to be covered from contributions to be received in 2018. In 2016, Programme funds included one debit balance of CHF 3,000, which was covered from contributions received in 2017.

12. Restricted fund for fixed assets and Designated fund for fixed assets Restricted fund for fixed assets The Restricted fund for fixed assets represents principally the value of donated land and buildings, net of accumulated depreciation. The Restricted category reflects the fact that the fund does not represent an investment made by the Council, but rather a donation with the specific purpose of founding the Ecumenical Centre. In 2017, there was no movement on the Restricted fund for fixed assets, as set out in Schedule V (2016: no movement). Designated fund for fixed assets The Designated fund for fixed assets reflects the Council’s investment in land, property and equipment. The Council’s investment in land, property and equipment was assessed as follows:

2017 2016 CHF 000 CHF 000 Total Land, property and equipment 37,241 38,783 Less Long-term loans, proceeds for buildings (17,633) (20,202) Less Short-term loans, proceeds for buildings (4,777) (2,777) Less Long-term deferred income (2,771) (2,858) Less Restricted fund for fixed assets (1,592) (1,592) Designated fund for fixed assets 10,438 11,354

The Designated fund for fixed assets records income and expenditure related to the staff residence building. The movement on the Designated fund for fixed assets is set out in Schedule VII. 13. Endowment funds

2017 2016 CHF 000 CHF 000 Restricted endowment funds Specific Endowments 6,866 6,652 Funds held by the Ecumenical Trust 2,577 2,458 Total Restricted Endowment Funds 9,443 9,110


Movements on the Restricted Endowment Funds are set out in Schedule V. Specific endowments Specific endowments are legacies or gifts where either the donor has formally requested or it has been formally confirmed that the assets gifted will be held in the long term. Income derived from the invested asset is at the disposition of the Council, but its use may be subject to certain conditions. General endowments General Endowments are legacies or gifts for use at the general discretion of the Council. Such endowment gifts may be invested, and the derived income is then at the general disposition of the Council. Such general endowments may also be released. In 2017, no General endowments were held (2016: none). Additions to endowments Additions to Endowments are recorded as Miscellaneous income to the Restricted Fund. There was no addition to Restricted endowments in 2017 (2016: none). Transfers to Endowments Net operating transfers to Restricted Endowment Funds totaled CHF 23,000 (2016: CHF 23,000). Release of Endowments In 2017, no endowments were released (2016: none). Adjustment on Revaluation Based on the value of the original legacy or gift amounts, the Restricted endowment funds are adjusted annually to reflect changes in the value of related non-current asset investments. In 2017, the adjustments, recorded in Financial income and Financial expense, resulted in an increase of CHF 318,000 in the Restricted endowment funds (2016: increase of CHF 136,000). Distributions Income from the Specific endowments may be credited directly to the Programme funds in accordance with the relevant conditions of the gift. In 2017, a distribution of CHF 226,000 was made from Specific endowments (2016: CHF 164,000), and CHF 100,000 (2016: CHF 103,000) was distributed from the Funds held by the Ecumenical Trust. Funds held by the Ecumenical Trust Funds held by the Ecumenical Trust totaling CHF 2,577,000 (2016: CHF 2,458,000) reflect endowment assets managed for the Council by the Ecumenical Trust, as described in Note 4 above.

14. Designated programme funds Designated programme funds total CHF 283,955 (2016: CHF 283,955). The Designated programme funds are special programme reserves held at the discretion of the Council, and derived from the Council’s own designation of its unrestricted funds. The Council may determine the timing of the disbursement of such reserves. In June 2015, the executive committee authorized the transfer of CHF 250,000 from the Designated programme funds to the Programme funds, to be applied towards the costs of central committee in 2016; the funds were duly applied for that purpose in 2016. The Designated Programme Funds are listed in the separate Activities Appendix to the Financial Statements.


15. Designated fund for building project The Designated fund for the building project reflects funds designated by the Council to cover the interest costs, financial expenses and professional fees during the first phase of the Ecumenical Centre building development project. The Designated fund for building project fund was formed from a transfer of CHF 3,100,000 from the General reserves in 2012, as determined by executive committee in March 2013. In November 2015, executive committee determined that in 2015, a further transfer of CHF 800,000 be made to the fund from the General reserves.

16. Deficit fund to be covered from development project The Designated deficit Fund to be covered from development project records a debit balance of CHF 23,748,000.

2017 2016 CHF 000 CHF 000 Deficit fund to be covered from Development Project 23,748 23,770 Rental of land (23) (22) Deficit fund to be covered from Development Project 23,725 23,748

The fund was recorded in 2011, reflecting the debit to Funds and Reserves as a result of executive committee’s decision in September 2011 that the Council make an extraordinary contribution to the Retirement Fund of the World Council of Churches. A charge of CHF 24,745,000 was recognised as an Extraordinary Item in 2011, and a credit of CHF 745,000 was recognized as an Extraordinary Item in 2012 following the decisions of the steering committee for the pension fund and building development project, as appointed by the executive committee. In 2014, in order to complete its liquidation, and with the agreement of the Geneva cantonal pension fund regulatory authority, the WCC Retirement Fund in liquidation returned CHF 230,000 to the WCC, recognised as miscellaneous income to the Deficit Fund to be covered from the Development Project (see also Note 31, Contingent liability). In 2017, CHF 23,000 of income to the fund is recognised, being compensation for temporary use of a small area of the Council’s land during neighbouring construction works (2016: CHF 22,000).. The extraordinary contribution was financed by a mortgage loan which is to be repaid by the realisation of a building development project. The Deficit Fund to be covered from Development Project therefore reflects the balance due to Funds and Reserves on the net proceeds resulting from a building development project on plot 1270, the Ecumenical Centre estate in Grand-Saconnex. The project is expected to be realised within two to four years.

17. General reserves In accordance with the Funds and Reserves Policy approved by the Central Committee in July 2014, General reserves are defined as those funds available to the Council after meeting its obligations and commitments, without realizing fixed assets. Central Committee set the General reserves target at six months’ salary costs. The target level for 2017 was thus CHF 6,237,000.


An analysis of the movements on General Reserves follows:

General Reserves CHF 000s Balance at 1 January 2017 7,033

Transferred out: To Unrestricted operating funds (53)Transferred in: From Designated fund for fixed assets 669Transferred out: decision November 2017 To Assembly fund (250) To Programme funds (300)Balance at 31 December 2017 7,099

Transfers were made to the Assembly fund and to Programme funds, to be applied to the costs of central committee 2018, in accordance with decision of executive committee at its meeting in November 2017.

19. Rental income and sales Rental income and sales of CHF 6,820,000 (2016: CHF 6,714,000) includes rental income from guest house receipts at Bossey, the staff residential building, rental of offices at the Ecumenical Centre, rental income on sub-letting of apartments and book sales. 20. Miscellaneous income Miscellaneous income of CHF 437,000 (2016: CHF 446,000) includes deferred income recognized as income during the useful life of the assets concerned, reimbursement of travel and other expenses and royalties on journal sales. 21. Salaries and Related Charges Salaries and related charges Salaries and related charges were:

2017 2016 CHF 000 CHF 000 Gross salaries 10,113 10,260 Social charges 974 993 Pension expense 1,274 1,218 Other personnel costs 112 182 12,473 12,653

There were 123 employees at 31 December 2017 (2016: 111). There were 107 full-time equivalent staff during 2017 (2016: 108 full-time equivalents). Pension expense details are set out in Note 22 below. Compensation of key management personnel In 2017, key management personnel are defined by the WCC as the general secretary, the deputy general secretary for public witness and diakonia, the deputy general secretary for unity, mission, ecumenical relations and ecumenical formation, the director of the office of the general secretary, the director of communication and the director of finance (2016: the general secretary, the deputy general secretary, the associate general secretary for unity, mission and ecumenical relations, the associate general secretary for public witness and diakonia, the associate general secretary for ecumenical formation, the director of the office of the general secretary, the director of communication and the director of finance). Their compensation was as follows:

2017 2016 CHF 000 CHF 000 Salaries and other short term benefits 988 1,097 Post-employment benefits 176 184 1,164 1,281

22. Employee Benefits Pension Plan The World Council of Churches is affiliated to the collective pension fund institution, Profond. In 2011 the Council, together with certain other ecumenical organizations, participated in a pension plan operated by the Retirement Fund of the World Council of Churches. WCC’s affiliation to Profond and the transfer of the assets and liabilities of the Retirement Fund of the World Council of Churches to Profond was effected as of 31 March 2012 with retroactive effect as of 1 January 2012, following an extraordinary contribution of CHF 24,000,000 made by the Council to the Retirement


Fund of the World Council of Churches. The Retirement Fund of the World Council of Churches has been liquidated. The Fund was removed from the register of retirement funds by decision of the regulatory authority dated 15 March 2016. The Council’s contributions paid to Profond in 2017 were CHF 1,979,000 (2016: CHF 1,215,000). Vacation Accrual A vacation accrual of CHF 378,000 (2016: CHF 372,000) has been included in long term provisions, representing the cost of employees’ untaken vacation at the year end. 23. Redistributed infrastructure costs Salary costs of programme staff were charged directly to the projects within each programmatic area or transversal priority to which the staff were assigned, and in which it was confirmed their time was actually allocated in 2017. The allocation basis was validated during forecasting and at the financial year end by the responsible associate general secretary or director, who approved the monthly estimated time allocation reports for their respective staff. Two further categories of costs were distributed to the projects under the activity based costing process. These were general programme costs and infrastructure costs. (i) Redistributed general programme costs Definition of general programme costs General programme costs were costs of the programme or transversal priority, which were to be shared fairly within the projects of the programmatic area or transversal priority, such as the costs of stationery, or of meetings related to the programme’s work. General programme costs allocation method For each programmatic area or transversal priority, staff estimated the percentage of time applied to each of the projects. The general programme costs were then allocated to the projects on that basis. General programme costs were therefore charged at the level of the project only. No charges were made at the level of a detailed programme activity. (ii) Allocated infrastructure costs Definition of redistributed costs The costs for distribution were the Operating costs of the support service teams, as recorded in five cost centres, namely: Income Monitoring and Development and Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting (IMD and PMER), Facility Services, Human Resources, Finance, and Information Technology Services; less Rental income and sales and Miscellaneous income credited to those cost centres. The income and expenditure of the five support service cost centres is set out in Schedule VIII. Infrastructure cost allocation method The Infrastructure costs of CHF 2,258,000 (2016: CHF 2,352,000) for redistribution were allocated to the programmatic areas and transversal priorities. Infrastructure costs were allocated to projects based on the full-time equivalent number of staff employed by the project in relation to the total full-time equivalent number of staff employed for all programmatic areas and transversal priorities.

The internal sales include CHF 459,000 of charges to the programmatic area Ecumenical Formation, principally for students’ board and lodging (2016: CHF 463,000).

25. Transfers and Distributions (i) Distribution of Unrestricted Income The distribution of unrestricted income, recorded in the Income & Expenditure account, represents the immediate assignment, upon receipt, of membership and other unrestricted income to restricted funds, principally programmes, whose activities might otherwise remain partially unfunded. (ii) Operating transfers between funds Operating transfers, recorded in the Income & Expenditure account, include transfers from one fund to another that occur generally at the conclusion of an activity or programme, and represent the re-allocation of residual funds to another use. For restricted funds, operating transfers occur only within the restrictions stipulated by the donor. (iii) Operating transfers to/(from) funds Operating transfers to/(from) funds include recognition of reimbursements due to donors and adjustment of provisions. In 2017, transfers from funds totaled CHF 36,000 (2016: transfers to funds CHF 63,000). Operating transfers to/(from) fund:

Financial Instruments Foreign currency risk The Council incurs foreign currency risk on pledged contributions that are denominated in a currency other than Swiss francs, and on funds and investments that are denominated in other currencies. The currencies giving rise to this risk are principally the Euro, the Swedish Krona, the US Dollar and the Pound Sterling. The Council does not use forward foreign exchange contracts or other financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency risk. In general accounts receivable for contributions are low compared with total contributions, and the proportion denominated in other currencies is low. In addition, the Council does not normally commit to expenditure until the timing and amount, in Swiss francs, of related income is reasonably certain. Substantially all financial instruments are denominated in Swiss Francs except for the following:

2017 2016 CHF 000 CHF 000 Prepaid expenses US Dollar 660 51 Euro 10 - Accounts receivable US Dollar 375 419 Euro 293 73 British Pound 33 61 Norwegian Krone 13 - Swedish Krona - Canadian Dollar - Accounts payable US Dollar 246 300 Cash and cash equivalents US Dollar 441 970 Euro 377 947 British Pound 149 773 Canadian Dollar 81 86 Norwegian Krone - Swedish Krona - Non-current investments US Dollar 2,585 2,458 Euro 563 533


Interest rate risk The Council is exposed to interest rate risks on mortgage and short-term loans as described in Notes 9 and 10 to the financial statements. The Council does not hedge or enter into financial instruments as regards its exposure to interest rate risks. Credit risk In acccordance with credit policy, exposure to credit risk, principally as regards contributions and related organisations, is monitored on an ongoing basis. Investments are monitored by the Finance Committee and are executed to comply with the Council's Investment Objectives and Policy. The Council's investment policy requires that only readily marketable bonds and shares be used for investment and that derivatives are not used for speculative purposes. At the balance sheet date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk, with the exception of the Council's investments through the Ecumenical Trust in New Covenant Funds (Note 4). The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance sheet, principally accounts receivable, investments and cash.

Derivatives The Council did not have any derivative instruments as of 31 December 2017 (2016:None). Fair value The fair value of financial instruments held at 31 December 2017 does not differ from their carrying amounts shown in the balance sheet.

28. Commitments As at 31 December 2017, there were no contractual commitments outstanding (2016: none). 29. Related Parties The Council has a related party relationship with its officers, and a controlling related party relationship with its representative offices. The Council also has a related party relationship, through representation on the Council’s governing bodies, with a large number of member churches, and with certain beneficiaries. Other than programme contributions and membership income received, and programme costs incurred in the normal course of operations, there were no related party transactions for the year to 31 December 2017 (2016: None). 30. Subsequent Events There were no events occurring subsequent to 31 December 2017 and prior to authorisation of the consolidated financial statements that would require modification of or disclosure in the financial statements. 31. Contingent liability Since there is significant uncertainty as to the necessity to make payment, the following contingent liability is disclosed, but is not recognised as a liability. The maximum potential exposure is CHF 230,000. The trustee of the Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (BLMIS) has opened judicial proceedings against several banks, including a Swiss bank at which the WCC Retirement Fund in liquidation (WCC RF) held an account, to which the WCC RF had credited sale proceeds of CHF 230,000 of a relevant BLMIS fund, during the period relevant to the litigation. Given that the Swiss


bank has required that the value remain held at the bank until conclusion of the judicial proceedings, and that, in 2014, the WCC RF credited CHF 230,000 to the WCC renouncing any claim it might have over that value, and also in order to facilitate the liquidation of the WCC RF, the WCC guaranteed to the bank to cover to the limit of CHF 230,000 any claim arising from the judicial proceedings. 32. Approval and Authorisation for Issue The consolidated financial statements were approved and authorised for issue by the leadership of the finance sub-committee on 26 April 2018.

Non-financial contributions 2017

During 2017 non-financial contributions – such as hospitality, personnel and travel support – were received from many member churches and ecumenical partners.

Even though such valuable contributions cannot be quantified in the way financial transfers are recorded, we would like to recognise these important donations that have offset WCC programme costs and have enriched the overall quality of the ecumenical fellowship.

In this light, appreciation is recorded for those who extended the effectiveness of the Council’s resources through “in-kind” contributions.

Report of the auditor on the Activities Appendix to the Executive Committee and to the Member Churches

On your instructions, we have audited the schedules, showing opening balances, contributions,authorised expenditure, transfers, and closing balances of the activities of the World Council ofChurches, as at 31 December 2017 and for the year then ended, as set out in the Activities Lists forRestricted Funds and Designated Funds and the notes which follow.

Management’s responsibilityManagement is responsible for the preparation of these schedules in accordance with the requirements of Swiss law, the Council’s Constitution and Rules, and the Council’s accounting policies as set out in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2017. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant to the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Management is further responsible for selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accountingestimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s responsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these schedules based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss Auditing Standards and International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financialstatements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures inthe financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including theassessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud orerror. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control system relevant to theentity’s preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate inthe circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the existence and effectiveness ofthe entity’s internal control system. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of theaccounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made, as well as evaluating theoverall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained issufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

OpinionIn our opinion, the schedules present fairly, in all material respects, the opening balances, contributions, authorised expenditure, transfers and closing balances of the activities of the World Council of Churches for the year ended 31 December 2017 in accordance with Swiss Law, the Council’s Constitution and Rules, and the Council’s accounting policies as set out in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2017.

Notes to the Activities Appendix

1. Purpose of the AppendixThe appendix details the activities which are summarized in the Restricted Funds and Designated Funds reported in the Reserves and Other Funds in the Balance Sheet of the World Council of Churches.

Restricted Funds are Programme Funds restricted by the Council’s donors for use within a Programme, a specific Project within a Programme, or, exceptionally, an Activity within a Project.

Designated Funds are Specific Programme Reserves held at the discretion of the Council, derived from the Council’s own designation of its unrestricted funds. The timing of the disbursement of the Designated Funds is at the discretion of the Council.

The appendix sets out the opening balances, income, expenditure, transfers and closing balances of the Restricted Funds and the Designated Funds and thereby adds greater transparency to the financial report.

2. Accounting PoliciesThe information set out in the appendix is consistent with the information disclosed in the consolidated financial statements of the Council. The significant accounting policies adopted by the Council in preparation of the appendix are set out in Note 2 to the Council’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.

3. ConsolidationThe Restricted Funds Activities List includes activities undertaken both in Geneva and in the Ecumenical Disability Advocates Network, Kenya. For the activity reference concerned, income, expenditure and transfers are reported on a consolidated basis.

For reference, the section Information on Consolidated Activities lists respectively for the activity concerned the relevant accounting information from the records of the World Council of Churches, Geneva, and that from the records of the Ecumenical Disability Advocates Network, Kenya. To avoid duplication, where Geneva has recorded expenditure being money transfers to the representative office, and the representative office has recorded income, being the receipt of those same money transfers, these entries have been matched and eliminated on consolidation. These consolidation adjustments to the activity have been disclosed. The net consolidated activity result is thus reported in the detailed Programme list concerned.

For further details on the representative offices and consolidation accounting policies, refer to the Note 2 to the Financial Statements.
