The European Union provides various funds and instruments to support stakeholders such as universities, research centres and companies in the fields of research and development as well as the commercialisation of research results. However, financial accounting and reporting of EU-funded projects are considered very time consuming and complex. Beneficiaries of EU-funded research projects have to commit themselves to the strict requirements of budgetary management regulations. By not following these rules the projects can be at great risk. The European Commission can decide to freeze grants or even demand complete reimbursement. Therefore, it is important to prepare properly for the financial management of your EU-funded projects.
