Dear Colleague, As you are probably aware of, the European Commission is sending out Letters of Announcement asking beneficiaries to prepare for an upcoming audit. Involved in funded projects ourselves, we have noticed that an alarming number of partners were unaware of their record keeping obligations and the potential consequences of incorrect financial management repeating entirely preventable mistakes.
For this reason, in European Academy we worked with former Auditors of the European Commission to develop the course on "Financial Administration & Auditing Preparation for E.C. Funded Projects". This online course is an opportunity to grasp the basic principles for managing the EC funds under the H2020 framework. It is addressed to all those project managers, accountants, financial officers, who on a daily basis have to document and keep detailed information on how they spend the EC money. Short Course Agenda: Day 1 Legal Framework behind the H2020 Financial Framework and changes under the new programming period 2021-2027 Horizon Europe The EC Financial Regulation – legal basis for EU funding, principles, management modes, control standards for a Sound Financial and Control Management system The H2020 Budget and Multiannual Work Programmes Horizon Europe 2021-2027 – how it steps on H2020 and how it differs (rules, reimbursement rates) Participation in the Guarantee Fund – the EC risk reserve tool The Grant Agreement and its Annexes – what the Commission wants from beneficiaries and what it awards them Eligibility of costs subject to reimbursement Common principles of eligibility Direct vs. Indirect costs Keeping records Actual vs Unit costs accounting Direct costs – Personnel costs Productive hours and hourly rate Supplementary contracts Unit costs (SME owners and Natural persons) Day 2 Direct costs Subcontracting and Implementing contracts Financial support to Third Parties Travel and subsistence allowances Other direct costs -Equipment -Administrative costs -Non-recoverable VAT Indirect costs General rules Flat rate Ineligible costs – identify and avoid errors from claiming them How to treat Income from H2020 project?
