Audit

1. As the Community funds are first received on the account of the Lead Beneficiary, is an audit necessary by Croatian Project Partners before the Final Project Progress Report, independently from their Hungarian Project Partners? Or is it necessary to perform a single audit for the whole project, regardless of the control performed by the Control Body? If an audit is necessary (as it has been in PHARE projects with a Community funding above 100.000 EUR), has it to be included in the project budget?

   Auditing as a regular procedure is not planned for projects within this Programme before the submission of the Final Project Progress Report, neither for Croatian nor for Hungarian Project Partners. It is not necessary to budget the auditing cost, moreover, if you tried to include them in your budgetary table within the AF, you will have found that the item 4.9 (Auditing costs) is disabled, i.e. not accessible at this point in time.

   What will take place is the project-level control on both sides of the border by the two separate Control Bodies. In Hungary the first level control will be performed by VATI Nonprofit Ltd, and the project parts that are implemented in Croatia will be controlled by controllers appointed by the MRDFWM. (As to the PHARE period, i.e. the period of trilateral cooperation (the SLO-HU-CRO NP), the contracts were then signed according to PraG which in turn demanded an audit in case the grant exceeds 100.000 EUR.)
