2nd Audit Certificate
Model & Reminders to be sent to the auditor with the order (.zip)
(the file ‘Audit.zip’ will be available on the web, to be forwarded to the Auditor)
Unbound copies. Details are useless (direct costs vs. indirect, year3 vs. year 4, Management vs. OSA , etc.). No use giving annexes or other tables (risks for discrepancy) => 2 pages are enough.
MODEL = what is mandatory + good wording; see the Financial Guidelines, p. 216 for notes & explanations. Other option with Third Party in the Financial Guidelines, p Help available: in the Financial Guidelines & annex II (website). Or see:ftp://ftp.cordis.europa.eu/pub/documents_r5/natdir /s_ _ _104305_2034en.pdf
and more on Cordis Website (FP6):
Auditing Period = 01 June 2008 to 31 March 2011; one certificate is enough (period referred to). If 2 certificates are made: a) 01 June 2008 to 31 May 2009 and b) 01 June 2009 to 31 March 2011.
Adjustment, 2 solutions: * Either the auditor asks at once for a modification of the 4th form C: specific costs for the 4th period may be directly corrected (from the JoRd step), or a global adjustment may modify the eligible amount; in this case, the adjustment amount is also reported by the partner in the 4th JoRd with a short explanation given at the end of the table,
or in accordance with the total amount said eligible in the certificate, you re-do by your own the 4th Form C so that the final sum of declared costs for 3rd and 4th year together copes with the certificate (no need for the auditor to tell within the certificate the required adjustment; these reviewed 4th JoRd and 4th Form C are not ‘necessarily’ to be checked again by the auditor).
Certified Amount = Final Sum “ 3rd Form C + 4th Form C ”, and 4th JoRd accordingly.
If Management part is significant, use the 2 cells (Management + OSA) in the new Form C.
Cost Model, said:
Full Cost with actual indirect costs (FC) or Full Cost with indirect Flat rate costs (FCF) or Additional Costs with indirect flat rate costs (AC)
