The financial and budgetary accountability of Chernobyl NPP as a whole ensures submission of reliable data on the budget revenues and spending at the ChNPP. This has been spoken about at a meeting of the Committee on Environmental Policy, Nature Resources Utilization and Elimination of the Consequences of Chornobyl Catastrophe, where the report of the Accounting Chamber of Ukraine (AChU) on the activity of SSE ChNPP was reviewed.

In particular, results of the audit, conducted by the AChU, have shown that all sums, both of the state target financing and international technical assistance, are in full reflected in the SSE Chernobyl NPP accounting.

“The targeted use of funds allocated from the state budget is ensured at the Plant. It completely meets the requirements of “Procedure for the transfer of contribution of Ukraine into the Chernobyl Shelter Fund” and “Procedure for the use of funds provided in the country’s budget for the safe maintenance of ChNPP Units and Shelter Object and implementation of measures on the preparation for decommissioning” – the report said.

The financial audit, conducted by the AChU, also revealed in the ChNPP financial reporting unessential errors and deviations that in aggregate amount to 0.01% of the balance sheet total. However, in the report it is emphasised that these shortcomings by no means falsify information about the general financial status of the enterprise.

According to the conclusion of the Accounting Chamber of Ukraine, the internal environment, created by the SSE ChNPP, is reliable enough for the preparation of accurate budgetary and financial reporting, as well as capable to minimize risks and promote achievement of the goals set by the enterprise.
