Maximizing Compliance And Minimizing Risks: A Comprehensive Approach To EC Audits

Embarking on a project funded by the European Commission (EC) is a significant undertaking, accompanied by the responsibility of adhering to stringent audit requirements. First level controls (CFS) or EC audits as second level controls are essential components of the grant process, requiring meticulous preparation to ensure compliance and financial integrity. We explore the critical role of preparation in navigating EC audits and introduce our services dedicated to saving time, costs, and mitigating risks for fund beneficiaries.
