Financial monitoring

• In order to avoid underspending and potential decommitment:

TIMELY IMPLEMENTATION ”=”to be in line with the spending forecast

Implementation plan

Financial monitoringTimely implementation:• Carry out activities in time & pay in time• Learn to report!• Please, inform the LP/us:

– Bi-monthly reporting– Budget modification needs

BUT: • Partner change (possible risk >managed by LP)• External experts costs (possible risk > to be

managed by all PPs)

Financial monitoring – Bi-monthly reports

• Paid and forecasted costs for periods of 2 months/WP/budget line

• Regular: deviations can be identified and thus handled in time

• Please, don’t forget to…– Fill in date of invoice and date of payment - so that we can check

whether the costs are eligible– Add a short description of the activity linked to each cost (e.g. 3.1.

SoA study) –> this is also a tool to inform the LP regularly on the status of the activities

– Fill in both the PAID and FORECAST columns

Reporting

Status of the 2nd progress report:• 2 DVE’s were not received in time (Hungarian

PPs: LP, PP6)>> postponement of the submission deadline: 7

March• Report submitted on 6 March

Reporting – 1 -2 periods – Partner reports

Feedbacks on partner reports: to be improved

• Partner reports not received in time (15 days after the end of the reporting period)– Not enough time for potential clarification– What if DVE needs to be modified?

>> respect deadlines (submit partner report to the LP same time when submitting it to the NCB - 15 days after the end of the period )


• Not enough information about the activities carried out (e.g.: activities carried out in line with the AF)– Doesn’t allow the LP to monitor implementation– No information about partner level

implementation

>> give as much details as possible


• Costs included in wrong WPs – Might lead to deviations in the spending forecast– If so, DVE has to be changed

>> check the budget (in which activity was the given costs planned?) and report the costs accordingly

(e.g.: SC participatin at the Launching Event in WP1)


• Not enough information regarding deviations– How to justify the delays/underspending?

>> give information about: what is the deviation? what is the reason? what is the effect of it? how do you plan to catch up?


• Ouputs are not indicated correctly• Indicators are not filled in>> check the AF and implementation plan (what

was planned for the given period?)>> possibly give information about the reported

number (e.g. in accompanying e-mail)
