The core tasks of the DIHK Budget Committee include examining the individual and consolidated financial statements of DIHK, preparing the economic plan for the upcoming year, and evaluating the medium-term financial and resource planning. In this way, the committee supports DIHK in achieving transparent and reliable financial management.
The DIHK Budget Committee deals with the budgetary and financial fundamentals of the DIHK organisation. In addition to the multifaceted topics in the area of finance, the committee assumes a central control and advisory function that is essential for the organisation’s economic stability and planning security.
Spring Meeting: Reviewing the Financial Statements
The spring meeting traditionally focuses on the individual and consolidated financial statements of DIHK. The committee members review the documents, discuss financial developments, and assess significant changes throughout the year.
Autumn Meeting: Economic Planning
The autumn meeting is dedicated to economic planning for the upcoming financial year as well as DIHK’s medium-term economic and financial planning. Resources, investment priorities, and budget proposals are discussed and prepared for further committees.
With their professional expertise from businesses, chambers, and the financial sector, the committee members make an important contribution to transparent and solid financial management at DIHK.
