2012

Dear football friends,

It is with great pleasure that I present the Financial Report 2012, which once again reveals another prosperous year for FIFA from an economic point of view. Thanks to our healthy balance sheet, we can continue to focus our efforts on the improvement of both the beautiful game itself and of our many competitions.

In line with the organisation’s mandate to serve the sport, our FIFA team recorded many remarkable achievements in 2012, ranging from the successful staging of eight FIFA competitions (in particular the FIFA U-17 and U-20 Women’s World Cups, the FIFA Futsal World Cup and the annual FIFA Club World Cup) to the effective imple-mentation of the very ambitious but essential road map for good governance.

The reform plan I tabled at the 61st FIFA Congress received the full support of delegates and marked the beginning of a reform process. At the 62nd FIFA Congress,

FIFA‘s judicial system and the creation of an Audit and Compliance Committee. The reform process will be completed by the 63rd FIFA Congress in 2013.

In addition, with only a few months left before the start of the FIFA Confederations

delighted to announce that preparations for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ are well under way and proceeding according to plan.

for the future tasks that lie ahead. I would like to thank you for all of your valuable support and I have no doubt that together we can meet any challenge that may come our way.

For the Game. For the World.

Dear Sir or Madam,

optimism for the remaining half of the cycle.

The development of FIFA’s revenues and costs is progressing according to plan, despite the continued challenging global economic situation. This has been achieved by keeping costs under control and by successfully commercialising our rights. At the same time, FIFA has preserved its assets via prudent asset management.

Following the good governance reform process, the role of the new Audit and

oversight now represent its major tasks. The chairman and deputy chairman must

The new Audit and Compliance Committee has been founded on these criteria and

improvements have taken place in recent years, I am convinced that the committee‘s independence through its oversight and monitoring role can contribute to further

organisational processes and standards and maintaining an effective compliance programme.

FIFA has undergone considerable changes over the years, evolving from a small organisation that primarily regulated the game of football to the important economic entity it is today. Consequently, it was the right decision to support the FIFA President‘s proposal for a good governance reform process. My colleagues and I in the Audit

Budget comparison

Analysis of revenue for 2012

FIFA’s accounting system is based on International Financial Reporting . As IFRS is not suitable for budgeting and daily cost control on

account of its many technical rules and regulations, the budget is drawn up on a cash basis before being approved by the Congress.

A transition from IFRS is necessary in order to enable the actual revenue to be compared with the cash budget. Hence, from the total amount of revenue according to IFRS, an adjustment was made for the revenue that could not be included for a budget comparison. The resultant cash-in component was then compared with the budget.

In order to carry out a budget comparison, in non-cash items had to be adjusted from the overall revenue of USD 1,166 million for the 2012

items consisted, in particular, of revenue in relation to the percentage-of-completion method, gross effects and value-in-kind revenue, which were not taken into account in the cash budget.

The FIFA Congress passed a revenue budget of USD 676 million for the 2012 . This extra revenue is

mainly due to foreign currency effects, additional income from other FIFA events, brand licensing, and accelerated incoming payments.

Analysis of expenses for 2012

The basic principle described for the analysis of revenue also applies to expenditure.

A transition from IFRS is necessary in order to enable the actual expenses to be compared with the cash budget. Hence, from the total amount of expenses according to IFRS, an adjustment was made for the expenses that could not be included for a budget comparison. The resultant cash-out component was then compared with the budget.

In order to carry out a budget comparison, in non-cash items had to be adjusted from the for the 2012

The FIFA Congress passed an expense budget of USD 666 million for the 2012 underspent by . This underspend is

mainly due to deferred costs for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ and cost savings.

Good governance reforms

Reform plan

The four FIFA Task Forces, which were created in October 2011 as part of the reform process launched by the FIFA President during the 61st FIFA Congress in Zurich, have all concluded their mandate to propose reforms.

The proposals made by the Task Force Ethics Committee and the Task Force Transparency & Compliance, in particular with regard to the creation of the two-chamber Ethics Committee and the Audit and Compliance Committee with independent chairmen and deputy chairmen, were approved by the 62nd FIFA Congress in Budapest on 25 May 2012. At the same time, Domenico Scala (Italy/Switzerland) was appointed as independent chairman of the Audit and Compliance Committee. Additionally, the new FIFA Code of Conductappointment of a woman as a member of the FIFA Executive Committee, namely Lydia Nsekera (Burundi), were also approved that day.

On 17 July 2012, based on a mandate given by the 62nd FIFA Congress, the FIFA Executive Committee appointed Michael J. Garcia (USA) and Hans-Joachim Eckert (Germany) as independent chairmen of the Ethics Committee in addition to appointing the members of the Ethics Committee and adopting a new Code of Ethics.

The Task Force Revision of Statutes presented a draft proposal of amendments to the FIFA Statutes and the remaining proposals which were not voted on at the Congress in 2012 will be presented to the FIFA Congress in 2013. In this context, the FIFA Executive Committee decided at its meeting on 27 and 28 September 2012 to create a working group, chaired by FIFA Executive Committee member and chairman of the Task Force Revision of Statutes Theo Zwanziger and comprising the general secretaries as well as the legal directors of the confederations and FIFA, in order to consult the 209 member associations on these amendments and submit the remaining proposals on the revision of the FIFA Statutes to the 63rd FIFA Congress.

The reform process will be completed by the 2013 FIFA Congress.

Audit and Compliance Committee

The Audit and Compliance Committee started its work in August 2012 and has met three times. The FIFA Congress elected Domenico Scala (Italy/Switzerland), as independent chairman of the committee.

Domenico Scala studied at the University of Basel and graduated with a degree in

Nobel Biocare Holding AG and CFO of Syngenta Holding AG. Today, he serves as a non-executive director of Basilea Pharmaceutica Ltd. He can draw on a wide range of business, senior leadership and multicultural experience.

The main task of the Audit and Compliance Committee is to ensure the completeness and to review the

and the external auditor’s report. In addition, the

Organisation Regulations. The responsibility of the committee is divided into three operations, and compliance.

The Audit and Compliance Committee has accepted the 26 reform proposals prepared by the Task Force Transparency & Compliance, which mainly aim at improving control mechanisms and transparency throughout all of FIFA’s core processes. The committee has discussed all of these proposals in detail and put forward corresponding changes to the FIFA Organisation Regulations, General Regulations for FIFA Development Programmes and other regulations, which will be examined by the Executive Committee.

FIFA Club Protection Programme

In May 2012, the 62nd Congress in Budapest approved the FIFA Club Protection Programme on behalf of the member associations.

The aim of this programme is to help FIFA, the confederations, member associations and clubs with their rights and obligations according to the FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players, which state that clubs are obliged to release their players for senior men’s representative “A” team matches on dates listed in the international match calendar.

Under the FIFA Club Protection Programme, clubs will be compensated if their players are injured while on duty with senior men’s representative “A” teams for matches listed in the international match calendar for the period between 1 September 2012 and 31 December 2014.

During the release period for such international “A” matches, football players may suffer bodily injuries caused by accidents. As a consequence, a football player can suffer a temporary total disablement that prevents him from participating in his football club’s matches. However, the football club still has an obligation to pay the football player’s salary based on the employment contract. Since the football player cannot work for the football club during a temporary total disablement, FIFA has decided to provide compensation for the losses suffered by the football club during the period that the football player is temporarily totally disabled.
