This seminar will address these questions and take a close look at the programme and financial templates for the new programmes. There will be a special focus on extending the use of simplified cost options, the most frequent audit issues (eg. eligibility of expenditure, public procurement) and on the role of strategic procurement.
What you will learn?
Practical issues to be discussed will include:
programme finance, financial tables and the flexibility proposed for 2021-2027
key issues for the eligibility of expenditure
the extended use of simplified cost options and how to choose between them
changes to the audit of accounts, systems and operations
dealing with irregularities, corrections, withdrawals
strategic public procurement
dealing with REACT-EU and RRF Recovery funding
the link between finance and performance, using the Performance Framework
How we work
We aim to make the seminar as interactive as possible. Participants will have ample opportunity to exchange views informally on the seminar topics. Workshops and exercises will be used to help participants get to grips with practical tools and methodologies.
