Risk Based Management Verifications: Unlock the potential for your organisation, understand the risks and adapt your verification and audit approach
The Commission is monitoring closely the implementation of Risk Based Management Verifications (RBMV) according to article 74 CPR. There are many different approaches in practice. RBMV offers significant benefits to Authorities, however it also bears potential risks. This three-day international seminar will offer deep and practical insights into all aspects of the implementation and updating of RBMV methodologies, its application in practice and will present Member States practices for ESF+, ERDF (including ETC), Cohesion Funds and EMFF from the view of Managing Authority and IBs as well as Auditors and other stakeholders (such as former Certifying Authorities, Internal auditors, Risk Managers etc.).
Focus will be on practical exercises where the participants will work on the development of RBMV methodologies supported by our lecturers who are the key persons in the preparation of MSs Recommendation papers for ESF+ and ERDF/CF .
Target groups: Managing Authorities, Audit Authorities, Certifying Authorities, Intermediate Bodies, Risk Managers and Risk Coordinators, Top and Middle Managers of Institutions in MCS, Internal auditors
