The projects funded through non-reimbursable financing, either from European Union funds or from Government grants, must comply with the applicable legislation in order to ensure the eligibility of the related declared costs. This can be achieved through a rigorous financial project management and through audits designed to specifically address the areas of risks on your projects. It is crucial that a thorough analysis is performed on a timely basis on the costs to be declared to the grantors, in order to avoid the risks of ineligibility.
