Financial monitoring • Inordertoavoidunderspending and potentialdecommitment: TIMELY IMPLEMENTATION ”=”to be in line withthespendingforecast Implementationplan
Financial monitoring Timely implementation: • Carry out activities in time &pay in time • Learn to report! • Please, inform the LP/us: • Bi-monthly reporting • Budget modification needs BUT: • Partner change (possible risk >managed by LP) • External experts costs (possible risk > to be managed by all PPs)
Financial monitoring – Bi-monthly reports • Paid and forecasted costs for periods of 2 months/WP/budget line • Regular: deviations can be identified and thus handled in time • Please, don’t forget to… • Fill in date of invoice and date of payment - so that we can check whether the costs are eligible • Add a short description of the activity linked to each cost (e.g. 3.1. SoA study) –> this is also a tool to inform the LP regularly on the status of the activities • Fill in both the PAID and FORECAST columns
Reporting Status of the 2nd progress report: • 2 DVE’s were not received in time (Hungarian PPs: LP, PP6) >> postponement of the submission deadline: 7 March • Report submitted on 6 March
Reporting – 1 -2 periods – Partner reports Only 44% of planned costs was reported and even less – 34% – has been validated by the NCs
Feedbacks on partner reports: to be improved • Partner reports not received in time (15 days after the end of the reporting period) • Not enough time for potential clarification • What if DVE needs to be modified? >> respect deadlines (submit partner report to the LP same time when submitting it to the NCB - 15 days after the end of the period )
Feedbacks on partner reports: to be improved • Not enough information about the activities carried out (e.g.: activities carried out in line with the AF) • Doesn’t allow the LP to monitor implementation • No information about partner level implementation >> give as much details as possible
Feedbacks on partner reports: to be improved • Costs included in wrong WPs • Might lead to deviations in the spending forecast • If so, DVE has to be changed >> check the budget (in which activity was the given costs planned?) and report the costs accordingly (e.g.: SC participatin at the Launching Event in WP1)
Feedbacks on partner reports: to be improved • Not enough information regarding deviations • How to justify the delays/underspending? >> give information about: what is the deviation? what is the reason? what is the effect of it? how do you plan to catch up?
Feedbacks on partner reports: to be improved • Ouputs are not indicated correctly • Indicators are not filled in >> check the AF and implementation plan (what was planned for the given period?) >> possibly give information about the reported number (e.g. in accompanying e-mail)
Conclusions • Carry out tasks according to the plans and pay invoices in time >> 31 May is the end of the 3rd period!!! (only 3 months left) • Be familiar with programme and national regulations • Check AF, implementation plan, budget regularly • Submit the Partner reports to the NC and LP in time: 15 days after the end of the period • Be in regular contact with the NC and provide clarifications also in time • Contact us, we might be able to help!
