- be responsible for all financial and legal aspects of the Federation in line with the directives of the Executive Committee, to which it is responsible, and according to the law of the country where the Federation is incorporated, in particular to:
- hold and secure the registration of the Federation in the country where its organizational structure is located;
- oversee the preparation of the annual budget by the General Secretary in view of its approval by the Executive Committee and to appoint auditors and to receive the audited accounts;
- purchase, lease or otherwise acquire land, buildings, or property of any kind, moveable or immoveable, or any interest in the same, for or in connection with or to further the above mentioned purposes;
- pursue any other financial or legal activity compatible with the purpose of the Federation;
