situation financière et morale
legal organisation and financial situation


Explanation:
If this were a company, the term would almost certainly be "situation... sociale" as in the corporate situation.
"morale" appears a bit strange, but I am fairly sure it intends to refer to exactly the same notion: aspects concerning the "legal entity" issues of the association, i.e. offices held by whom, relations with members, location of its head office, etc.

situation financière et morale
ethical and financial status


Explanation:
I think morale means ethical here - particularly for an association and particularly at a time when ethics are very much /in/ because of all the frauds in the US (and Canada too) at the corporate level

But I don\'t think it\'s in the sense of /personne morale/ which is a legal concept of an organization (see GDT\'s definition below) because this would not change so there would be no reports on it - as opposed to financial situation which changes all the time
Définition :
Entité dotée, dans les conditions prévues par la loi, de la personnalité juridique, et donc capable, à l\'instar d\'une personne physique, d\'être titulaire de droits et d\'obligations
