PREFECTURE FOR ECONOMIC AFFAIRS: MEETING OF VATICAN'S ADMINISTRATIVE
DIRECTORS
Vatican City, 20 June 2013 (VIS) – Yesterday morning, the old Synod
Hall was the site of a meeting—organized by the Prefecture for the
Economic Affairs of the Holy See—of the administrative heads of the
various dicasteries and
dependent agencies of the Vatican, according to a note issued by the director
of the Holy See Press Office, Fr. Federico Lombardi, S.J.
The meeting, attended by all the personnel of the Prefecture along with
international auditors, is the second of its kind, the first having been held
in December of last year for the presentation of the Prefecture's new rules.
It will be followed,
probably each six months, by other similar reunions.
After reading a short greeting from the Holy Father, signed by Cardinal
Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone, S.D.B., and an introduction by Cardinal
Giuseppe Versaldi, president of the Prefecture, an interesting agreement was
presented, by virtue of
which Banco Santander offered its availability to place its contacts and
formative resources, drawing upon the wide network of the Bank's relationships
with the international academic world, at the Prefecture's disposition.
Archbishop Giovanni Angelo Becciu, substitute of the Secretariat of State,
also spoke, giving his greetings and encouragement. The Prefecture's
secretary, Msgr. Lucio Angel Vallejo Balda, and Accountant General, Dr.
Stefano Fralleoni spoke, in turn,
to explain the historical development of the Prefecture's preparation of the
consolidated financial statements and the importance of properly preparing
budgets in the governance of the economical administration.
In particular, information was given on the progress made in preparing a
consolidated financial statement that isn't limited to the two specific areas
of the Curia and the Vatican City Sate, but which also extends to the areas of
the pastoral
outreach and charitable activities that are overseen by the Holy See.
The financial statements in question will be presented in documented and
detailed form at the next meeting of the Council of Cardinals—the
so-called “Council of Fifteen”, which will meet, as usual, in the
first days of July—to
study the Holy See's organizational and economic problems. The meeting was
followed by a series of addresses and questions on the part of the
participants, among which are to be noted the speeches by the international
auditors, whose presence and
participation were highly appreciated by all present.
