Risk-based management verification

The management verification of expenditure refers to checks of expenditure declared to the Managing Authority/Joint Secretariat (MA/JS) for Programme co-financing. According to the regulation, the management verification shall be risk-based and proportionate to the risks identified ex-ante. For that purpose, the Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme has drafted a methodology for the risk-based verification of expenditure which can be downloaded here.
