Auditing EU Funds is not an easy task. It requires not only an understanding of how the funds work but also comprehensive skills to detect irregularities and collaborate effectively with various stakeholders. In the above video, we had an informal discussion with Ms. Marina Mandac, Head of Department for Methodology, Service for Support to Audit Processes, Sector for Management of Horizontal Processes, Agency for the Audit of EU Programmes Implementation System (ARPA) in Croatia to learn more about auditors’ work and their relevance for EU Funds.

In the video, you will hear about relevant issues such as:

• What does it mean to be an auditor
• On the spot checks – an essential part of audit work
• Recommendations for improvement
• Audit of a system vs audit of a project
• Financial tracking: how much money is spent for a project/priority/programme
• Direct contact with applicants, who are happy about funding opportunities, but complain about bureaucracy and controls.
• Challenges with the Do No Significant Harm principle.
• Variety of project fundeded
• Twinning projects/collaborations with other countries/knowledge sharing
• Auditing – prevention role
• Characteristics of an auditor
