Research at the RiCC is made possible financially by the following co-operative associations:

Austrian Co-operative Association
The Austrian Co-operative Association (Österreichischer Genossenschaftsverband)

(ÖGV) is the service and auditing association of the Volksbanken and commercial goods and services co-operatives in Austria.

The ÖGV is also a driving force and contact for new organisations.

It also provides support with services and offers in the areas of consulting, education and communication. The ÖRV provides impetus for forward-looking co-operative solutions and innovations in the spirit of Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen's idea. Together with the eight Raiffeisen regional auditing associations, the ÖRV is the organiser of the kooperieren.at initiative, which provides advice and support to those interested in setting up a business.

Austrian Federation of Non-profit Building Associations - Auditing Association
The Association of Non-profit Building Associations (Österreichischer Verband gemeinnütziger Bauvereinigungen - Revisionsverband) acts as a co-operative auditing association on the one hand and as a lobby group on the other. As such, it is responsible for legislative initiatives, public relations work, training and further education as well as providing information and advice to member companies. Auditing with independent auditors is the centrepiece of the close-knit control network of non-profit building associations.
