15. Annual Accounts process
Following the Commission's assessment of the accounts packages acceptance decisions on the ’s annual accounts were adopted by the 31/05:
Form of the decisions: Letter from the Director General of the Lead DG accepting the accounts for the OPs mentioned in the letter. [FEAD has a separate letter (decision)]
In annex to the letter  calculation reports by OP and by Fund with the amount to be paid or to be recovered.
In one case (Poland) the accounts were adopted with follow-up.

16. Annual Accounts process
Next step: the Commission issues the financial transaction  payment or recovery
In case of recovery the offsetting procedure as announced to the MS with letter Ares(2018) will be applied against the 2018’s annual pre-financing.
This would result in one single net positive flow of cash to the Member States (2018 annual pre-financing minus amount to be recovered following the accounts calculation).
