BACKGROUND & CONTENT OF THE EVENT

The Commission may — during the implementation of the action or afterwards — carry out financial audits on the proper implementation of the action and compliance with the obligations under the Agreement.

What should an NCP know about audits in general and are there any specialties in Horizon 2020 financial audits? What kind of advice you as an NCP can give to beneficiaries. How can they be prepared in the best possible way?

This webinar offers an opportunity to learn answers to these questions from both - auditors and beneficiaries. In addition to the theory, we´ll hear real-life experiences and recommendations. A session for Q&A will follow.
