Decision Go / no go (new/revised) application Substantive and financial assessment First Disposition (positive/negative) Action needed? Monitoring the project Progress report Revised Disposition Final report Substantive and financial assessment Final Disposition Subsidy Process ESF Consultants
1)The phase leading up to the first disposition: Substantive and financial assessment of subsidy applications. Every project is assigned to two consultants. The first consultant is the main contact and is also responsible for preparing the products in every stage.
Substantive assessment • Goal of the project • Assessment of activities • Target group of the project • Expected results of the project
Financial assessment Budget analysis: • Costs per person • Relation overhead direct • Calculation (P*Q) • Possible revenues • Feasibility
2) The monitoring phase • Second / other visits • Mostly after receiving the progress reports. • After the substantive analysis sometimes a visit is planned to monitor the progress (reviewing administrations, assessment of activities, analysing progress against budgets)
3) The phase of final report • Final report • Actions needed (e.g. project visit, visit internal audit) • Administrative analysis of the administration
Which costs are eligible for subvention? • Preparing phase: development costs, costs to prepare the project • Monitoring phase:- direct costs (direct activities) - indirect costs (coordination, administration, accountants) • Phase after the final report: cost for making the final report
The costs always have to be justified by documents such as: • A time-keeper status (Official document prooving the time spent on the project.) • A list of presence - A proof of payment, paid invoices as a result of an offer procedure, a comparative market research or a public procurement.
