The costs

The State Shared Service Centre will not charge costs for control.

On-the-spot checks

On-the-spot checks will be carried out on a sample basis.   

If either equipment will be purchased or investments made by a project partner during the implementation of project activities, on-the-spot check of the respective project partner must be conducted at least once during the lifetime of the project before the final payment.

 

In the event of risks or shortcomings (i.e problems with reporting, eligibility, procurements) are found by the financial controller during the desk-based check of partner reports, it may lead to on-the-spot checks, even if it was not initially planned.
