Audits of civil protection grant beneficiaries
On 15 December 2023, DG ECHO organised a webinar for civil protection grant beneficiaries on its audit approach.
The webinar covered the objectives of a DG ECHO audit on civil protection grants, the audit process and what is expected from beneficiaries and auditors, all of which is explained in the note released in August 2022 and still valid – available at the below link ‘General information on audits of the EU Civil Protection Grant Beneficiaries’. The webinar also highlighted lessons from most common errors from previous audits. This information session was intended for civil protection grants beneficiaries to reach compliance with the European Commission rules to avoid recoveries, sometimes years after a project closes. Basic information on reporting of fraud cases was also provided during the presentation – also available at the link below.
The webinar was attended by over 100 participants from Knowledge in Action for Prevention and Preparedness, Network Partnership and Exercises projects. The Questions & Answers session was very lively, with many questions on the form and on the substance. Questions and their respective answers are available below.
