Finances
The revenue of IFAC chiefly consists of annual membership fees paid by the NMOs, publications income from the IFAC Journals Automatica, Control Engineering Practice, Annual Reviews of Control, the Journal of Mechatronics, the Journal on Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, and from the publications of IFAC events.
It is used for administrative expenses as recommended by the Administrative and Finance Committee. Its recommendations are approved by the Council which is held accountable by the General Assembly for the expenses.
All Official Positions are voluntary and unpaid. The Officials' activities, even travel expenses for the IFAC meetings, are supported from their own resources.
The membership fees, as determined by the General Assembly, are established in 4 categories, each NMO selecting the appropriate category.
The present membership fees for each category of membership are:
| Category | Annual fee in Euros |
| 1 | 1.250 |
| 2 | 2.500 |
| 3 | 5.000 |
| 4 | 10.000 |
