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
