Deutscher Caritasverband e.V., the German Caritas Association, files this annual financial statement and management report for fiscal year 2024 with the German Bundestag's lobby register, its own account of its finances and operations, audited by the independent firm RSM Ebner Stolz GmbH and Co. KG, which issued an unqualified opinion. Its strength is that clean opinion from an outside auditor together with the public regulatory filing, the kind of independent check that gives an organization's own account of its finances real weight. Its limit is that it remains the organization's own report of itself, filed to satisfy a disclosure requirement rather than produced by a disinterested outside evaluator, so a claim about the wider Caritas network's programmatic reach or reputation beyond its own audited figures needs a source examining that from outside the organization.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
Deutscher Caritasverband e.V.'s own annual financial statements, independently audited by RSM Ebner Stolz GmbH and Co. KG with an unqualified opinion, filed with the German Bundestag lobby register; tier one as the body's own audited financial statement. NotesDeutscher Caritasverband e.V.'s own annual financial statements and management report for the 2024 financial year (1 January to 31 December 2024), filed with the German Bundestag lobby register as a short annual financial statement, read in full from the filed document. Independently audited by RSM Ebner Stolz GmbH and Co. KG with an unqualified opinion dated 5 June 2025. States total revenue (Summe Ertrage) of 237.4 million euros and total expenditure classified by the DZI standard (Gesamtausgaben) of 222.8 million euros for 2024, including 105,879,459.74 euros in aid delivered through Caritas international. This filing covers only the Deutscher Caritasverband e.V. central, national headquarters association itself, its own balance sheet and its own roughly 470 average annual staff; it is not a consolidated figure for the wider German Caritas network of thousands of separately incorporated diocesan Caritas associations, hospitals, care homes and social services that together make Caritas one of Germany's largest employers, whose combined finances this filing does not report. Classed audited-accounts: an independent auditor's unqualified opinion, read directly.
