Reporting

 

Projects are required to submit Progress Reports every six months and must detail project activities and expenditures over the specified timeframe. Projects can also submit Extraordinary Reports independently from the regular Progress Reports, they are essential for capturing expenditures that fall outside the standard six-month reporting cycle. These reports play a crucial role in maintaining accuracy and completeness in financial documentation.

To assist projects in the reporting process, you can find here guidance on preparing Progress Reports and handling Modification Requests.


Guidelines

Beneficiaries must access the SIGI (Integrated Management and Monitoring System) platform to manage their project.
Here you can access application documents, submit Partner Progress Reports, interact with Controllers and National Authorities regarding the reporting process, submit a Project Progress Report and Payment Claims, request for project modifications, among other functionalities.

Ensuring compliance with State Aid rules must be guaranteed throughout the implementation of your project. It is important to note that the information initially provided by partners during the application phase may evolve as the project progresses. This requires continuous diligence to align with State Aid regulations.

Use the resources here available to better understand, simplify compliance efforts, and reduce the potential risks associated with State Aid.
