This section provides information on the system set up for first level control in Denmark for the 2014-2020 programming period. 

The costs associated with this control are indicated so that they can be planned for in project budgets. 

Denmark uses a decentralised first level control system. Before the first expenditure can be reported, the project partners will be required to propose an independent external controller to:

The Danish Business Authority will approve the controller proposed by the project partners after checking that the controller is sufficiently independent from project activities and finances and qualified to carry out the control of an Interreg Europe project.

The costs resulting from the control can be reported as eligible costs in compliance with the relevant EU regulations and programme rules.

The first level controllers will carry out on-the-spot-checks at least once during the project lifetime.
