D.3 - Horizon Europe/2020 Financial Audits

Dette kurset er en praktisk workshop i hvordan audits gjennomføres i en organisasjon som deltar i EU-prosjekter. Kursdeltakerne får praktisk øvelse ved at de spiller rollen som revisorer, og gjennomgår organisasjonens regnskapsmessige rutiner. Formålet er å finne feil i rapportering og kalkuleringer, og oppsummere dem  i en såkalt Draft Audit Report. På denne måten får deltakerne god innsikt i revisjonsprosessen og hvordan man kan unngå eventuelle problemer. For å få fullt utbytte av kurset er det en forutsetning å ha gjennomført D2-kurset, da D.3-kurset bygger på D.2

Kurset blir holdt på engelsk.

Horisont Europa-kursene våre er delt inn i fem overordnede kategorier (A-E) og i tre nivåer (1-3). Les mer om de ulike kursene.

This course is a practical workshop on how EC Audits are performed for an organization participating in EU projects. The participants get practical experience by playing the role of a reviewer, going through the audited company, its accounting and management principles, and the project that is being audited. The objective is to o identify the mistakes and/or miscalculations in favour of both the EC and the Beneficiary, and to summarise them in a Draft Audit Report. Through this exercise, the course participants will get a clear understanding of the processes before, during and after of EC financial audits; and get an insight to the on-site audit process and to managing it successfully.

Our Horizon Europe seminars are distributed into 5 topics (A-E) on three knowledge levels (1-3). Read more about the different courses.
