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. </font></p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.14in; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">For this reason, in European Academy we
worked with former Auditors of the European Commission to develop the course on

Administration & Auditing Preparation for E.C. Funded Projects</a>". 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. </font></p>
