II.4 – Reports and Deliverables (4/6)

 The cost of the CFS is an eligible cost and should be reported as “subcontracting cost” of “management” type of activity  The CFS is composed of 3 separate documents (Annex VI of the GAP):  The term of reference  The auditor’s Report of Factual Findings 

Updated version on CS Web Site

The procedures performed by the auditors which should be carried out without adaptation

The reporting format by auditors is compulsory. GUIDANCE NOTES FOR BENEFICIARIES AND AUDITORS for FP7 project can be downloaded from http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/find-doc_fr.html

Common Mistakes on CFS:



Term of Reference:

not signed by both parties (beneficiary and auditor)  In addition, when the procedures performed by the auditors are not correctly reported and in particular 

Procedure 1 related to the “personnel cost”

: the auditor reports the hours worked for the project while he has to report the average number of hours per year (regardless  of the project)

Procedures 5&6 : subcontract

. The auditor declared having performed the check while no sub-contract was reported.

II.4 – Reports and Deliverables (5/6)

Common Mistakes on CFS (follows):

   

Procedure 10

: check on

indirect costs

must be performed if the

“real method”

has been used. The common mistake is the missing information about the type of ratio used for the calculation of such costs.

Procedure 10&11 : indirect costs

– when making use of a

“simplified method”

(procedure 11) the auditor should also confirm that the non eligible costs of procedure 10 have been excluded.

Procedure 12 : exchange rate

. One of the two options has to be reported (not both)

Procedure 14 : interests yielded

. Auditor reports that those have been checked but no interests are declared on formC. (for coordinators only).

Common Mistakes on Financial Reporting:

  Summary financial report is missing Explanation of resources is missing 14

Use and Dissemination of Foreground (1/2)

A plan for use and dissemination of foreground (including socio-economic impact and target groups for the results of the research) shall be established at the end of the project. It should, where appropriate, be an update of the initial plan in Annex I for use and dissemination of foreground and be consistent with the report on societal implications on the use and dissemination of foreground (section 4.3 – H).

The plan should consist of: Section A This section should describe the dissemination measures, including any scientific publications relating to foreground. Its content will be made available in the public domain thus demonstrating the added-value and positive impact of the project on the European Union.

Section B This section should specify the exploitable foreground and provide the plans for exploitation. All these data can be public or confidential; the report must clearly mark non-publishable (confidential) parts that will be treated as such by the Commission. Information under Section B that is not marked as confidential will be made available in the public domain thus demonstrating the added-value and positive impact of the project on the European Union.
