The costs

The costs resulting from the control are borne by the project partners and can be reported as eligible costs in compliance with the relevant EU regulations and programme rules. These costs should therefore be planned in the project budget.

On-the-spot checks

At least one physical on-the-spot check at the premises of the project partner is expected to be carried out by the controller for each Maltese partner during the lifetime of the project.

 

2014-2020

This section provides information on the system set up for first level control in Malta for the 2014-2020 programming period.

The costs associated with this control are indicated so that they can be planned for in project budgets.

The system

Malta uses a decentralised first level control system. Before the first expenditure can be reported, the project partners must select an independent internal or external controller, provided that they are listed as Maltese registered auditor. The controller can be internal as long as they are independent from the unit in charge of project finances and activities. An external controller must be selected in accordance with established procedures pertaining to general procurement principles.

This internal or external controller must be proposed to the following body:

This body will authorise the controller proposed by the project partner after having checked that the controller is on the authorised list of Maltese Registered Auditors, is sufficiently independent from project activities and finances and qualified to carry out the control of an Interreg Europe project.

The costs

The costs resulting from the control can be reported as eligible costs from the project funds in compliance with the relevant EU regulations and programme rules.

On-the-spot checks

In compliance with the article 23 (4) of Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 and article 125 (5) and (6) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013, on-the-spot verifications will be carried out for each project partner at least once during the project lifetime. For first level controllers controlling more than one project partner, sampling may be possible on the conditions that the method is well justified and documented.

Furthermore, the first level controllers within the Funds and Programmes Division will carry out on-the-spot-checks on a sample basis using a risk-based approach to ensure the proper functioning of the system and ascertain that all guidelines are being followed and respected.
