Initially formed as a Swiss foundation in 2002, the Global Funds international organization status has been elaborated through an ongoing process of legal recognition by various national governments and international organizations: The Swiss Federal Council accorded the Global Fund international organization status, through the Headquarters Agreement in 2004. The United States of America, through an executive order in 2006, designated the Global Fund as a public international organization in accordance with the United States International Organizations Immunities Act. The European Commission, through a 2014 Commission Decision, assimilated the Global Fund to the status of an international organization for the purposes of managing European Union funds. The Agreement on Privileges and Immunities of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria became effective on 17 August 2019. The headquarters of the Global Fund is the Global Health Campus, Chemin du Pommier 40, Le Grand-Saconnex, in Geneva, Switzerland. Whilst foundations are monitored by the Swiss Federal Supervisory Board for Foundations, the Global Funds interlocutor in relation to the Swiss Federal Council is the Permanent Mission of Switzerland to the United Nations Office in Geneva. The Global Fund financial statements are prepared in compliance with accounting principles under IFRS Accounting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and with interpretations issued by the IASB Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) and the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). The financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (USD), the Global Funds functional currency, and rounded to the nearest million. Management elected not to operate and report in Swiss Francs, the domestic currency, as its cash flows are primarily in USD. On a semi-annual basis the Global Fund prepares its financial statements. The financial statements cover the activities of the Global Fund in Switzerland. The Global Fund does not consolidate any entity as at the date of this RFP. The Provident Fund, which holds the defined employee benefits plan of the Global Fund, is a reporting entity and not a separate legal entity, hence its results are incorporated rather than consolidated into the financial statements.
