Key Requirement 2: Selection of operations. How to design and how to audit!
The appropriate selection of operations is a critical starting point in achieving defined objectives and need a strong focus of managers and auditors. Program authorities must ensure transparency, effectiveness, compliance and equal opportunities in the implementation of ESI Funds. This seminar will explore the essential elements of setting up a management and control system, defining eligibility rules, and designing clear and understandable calls for proposals. Covering all aspects of Key Requirement 2 and its assessment criteria, we will also discuss the roles and responsibilities of key authorities. The seminar will delve into the audit-proof evaluation of applications, technical approval processes, and demonstrate audit approaches to key requirements.
