We have just concluded another highly successful in-class session on “Financial Administration & Auditing Preparation for EC Funded Projects”. Held at the prestigious Dom Pedro Lisboa Hotel in Lisbon from 25 to 26 May 2023, the course garnered exceptional feedback from participants, reinforcing its reputation as a top-notch educational opportunity.

The two-day course, led by renowned expert Mrs Sara Dishkova, Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) since 2002, delved into various aspects of financial management and auditing in the context of European funded projects. Participants had the opportunity to gain valuable insights into budget management, cost reporting, and other crucial elements of sound financial administration.

One of the highlights of the course was the engaging Mentimeter sessions, where attendees actively participated and provided valuable input. The course successfully facilitated discussions on topics such as cost categories, Consolidated Financial Statements (CFS), daily rates, hours-to-day conversion, subcontracting versus service costs, and travel expenses.

Participants’ feedback overwhelmingly reflected their satisfaction with the course’s content and delivery. Notably, three attendees working with non-Research funds in non-EU countries expressed their appreciation for the course’s contribution to their understanding of “sound financial management” in the eyes of auditors.
