Organizzato da: European Commission, CNR and APRE

APRE organises a seminar on the most common financial errors in FP7, and how to avoid making them.

Sede: CNR – Piazzale Aldo Moro n.7 (Aula Marconi)

 

In the frame of the European Commission campaign ‘ How to avoid financial errors in FP7’, APRE organises a seminar on the most common financial errors in FP7, and how to avoid making them. 

The purpose of this event is to raise awareness within the research community on the importance of submitting error free cost claims as a way to

  • speed up payments,
  • avoid the reimbursement of ineligible amounts and liquidated damages
  • and ultimately to achieve more reliable and error free financial reporting. 
The Commission will present the 10 most common financial errors in cost claims for research grants and will outline its plans to reach out stakeholders and assist them in their efforts to provide error free cost claims.

The seminar will be held in English language; 3 European Commission Officers from the Audit Unit will chair the seminar and be available for questions.
