Template for the Certificate on the financial statements

07/01/2022

The European Commission has published on the portal a template for the audit certificate (Certificate on the financial statements, or CFS) to be used in Horizon Europe. In Horizon Europe, such a certificate is mandatory for grant recipients whose grant in the project amounts to at least EUR 430,000. Unlike in Horizon 2020, the now published template is no longer an annex to the grant agreement and only contains a shortened description of the procedures to be carried out by the auditor.
