ECONOMIC INFORMATION AND RELATIONS WITH PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONS

In compliance with Law 19/2013, of 9 December, on Transparency, Access to Public Information and Good Governance, our association informs that:

- At present, we have no contracts or agreements signed with public administrations. 
- The activities of the association are financed by contributions from members, private donations and, where appropriate, public subsidies, which are duly published and justified in accordance with the applicable regulations.

This page will be updated regularly to reflect any changes in our relationship with public administrations or funding sources.

In compliance with Law 19/2013, of 9 December, on Transparency, Access to Public Information and Good Governance, our association informs that:

- At present, we are not legally obliged to present annual accounts or to submit our accounts to external audits, as we do not meet the requirements established by current legislation for such obligations.

This is due to the fact that our association is not considered a public utility and does not exceed the economic thresholds established for the obligation of audits, in accordance with the provisions of Organic Law 1/2002, of 22 March, regulating the Right of Association, and the accounting regulations applicable to non-profit organisations.

Despite this, we maintain transparent and accountable financial management, and are committed to publishing relevant financial information, such as grants received or projects funded, in this section of our website.

INTERNAL REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE CHANNEL FOR LAW 2/2023

According to Law 2/2023 of 20 February on the protection of the rights of individuals in the field of information and communication, entities with 50 or more active employees are obliged to implement an internal whistleblowing channel.

Currently, our association does not reach the threshold of active employees required for the mandatory implementation of such a channel. Therefore, we are not obliged to comply with this provision under the law.

However, we remain committed to transparency and ethics in our activities. Concerns, suggestions or complaints can be communicated directly to the management or administration, who will handle them appropriately.

Should our situation change in the future, we will take the necessary steps to implement an internal reporting channel, in accordance with applicable legislation.
