With regard to the pending issue from the previous financial year, in accessing the two accounts of the Association in Alpha Bank that remained inactive, we were informed that the necessary procedures for the activation of these two accounts were carried out by the Board of Directors of the Association and the accounts have been activated. As the Audit Committee was informed by the Treasurer of the Board, no movement has been made in the Alpha Bank accounts and the balance remains the same in both accounts.
The balances of these accounts are as follows:
Alpha Bank account number 207.00.2002004317 with a balance of 9,759.90 euros and Alpha Bank account number 207.00.2002004763 with a balance of 143.85 euros, until 14/11/2022.

3) the Financial Report 11/2020 - 14/11/2022 from the accountant Philippos Marinopoulos.
During the audit of the supporting documents, the Audit Committee found the application of the provisions provided by the Law and the Statutes of the Association.
Therefore, based on the attached financial data, which we received from the Treasurer of the Board of Directors, Mrs. Anna Papadimitriou and from the accountant Mr. Filippos Marinopoulos, we propose to the General Assembly of the Association the approval of the Financial Report for the financial year 11/2020 - 14/11/2022 and the discharge of the Board of Directors from any responsibility.
