IPPF <strong>Financial</strong> <strong>Statements</strong> 2009 57<br />

18 Contingent liability<br />

The Kenyan Revenue Authority is currently requesting payment of taxes on employment income which IPPF believed<br />

was exempt by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Following similar claims relating to other tax periods which were<br />

successfully defended, management disclose a contingent liability of $285,239. This is in addition to the balance<br />

of $173,834 provided for within the 2008 balance sheet (included in note 15).<br />

In the ordinary course of business IPPF is subject to certain legal actions. In the opinion of management, such matters<br />

will not have a material effect on the financial position of IPPF.<br />

19 Funds Held on Behalf of Third Parties<br />

At the 31 December 2009, IPPF held funds on behalf of the Member Association of Guatemala amounting to<br />

$10,884,338 (2008: $8,092,202). These funds are held by IPPF WHR Inc as part of the overall investment portfolio.<br />

The funds are not included in the balance sheet as the trustees do not have a legal obligation to ensure their<br />

charitable application. The funds are invested as a separate fund, managed by the investment managers GMO.
