New Interreg System Audit Checklists available

Audit

29 September 23 2 min read

A new checklist for audits has been published in cooperation between Interact and the working group composed of Audit Authorities and Managing Authorities and Joint Secretariats representatives – the Interreg System Audit Checklists 

The checklists cover key requirements 1 to 10 of Annex XI of the CPR regulation (2021/1060) and follow the assessment criteria developed in the Methodological Note for the Assessment of Management and Control Systems. The checklist sets out examples of questions that could be asked in relation to each assessment criterion.

The questions cover the Interreg specific provisions, and show where general provisions do not need to be applied to Interreg programmes. The document should serve as a guide to support and inspire Interreg Audit Authorities in their work.

Of course, individual authorities will need to determine the applicable scope, as well as areas where further specific questions in particularly contexts may be required.

Alongside this publication, small amendments were also made to the Interreg Audit of Operations report template and theRoadmap for the Assurance package.

These updates incorporate changes following the publication of the Commission’s Methodological Notes for the Assessment of Management and Control Systems; on the Preparation, Submission, Examination and Audit of Accounts; as well as on the Annual Control Report, Audit Opinion and Treatment of Errors.
