The costs

Project partners are invoiced by the Regional Assembly for the actual costs of carrying out the Control. The cost is calculated based on a per diem rate together with appropriate travel and subsistence rates applying to the Regional Assemblies in Ireland. Each claim certified (including composite Lead Partner claims) will be invoiced. The scale of fees for payment claims (without travel and subsistence costs), is currently under review, at the moment and will be made available later this year.

On-the-spot checks

At least one "on-the-spot check" will be carried out during the project lifetime in projects where partners report equipment and/ or infrastructure & works costs related to a pilot action.

On-the-spot checks will be completed for a project not reporting pilot equipment/infrastructure costs, if it is deemed that it has an added value for their check.

Southern Regional Assembly

Southern Ireland uses a centralised control system. The control is carried out by employees of the controlled body mentioned below.

2014-2020

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

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

The system

Ireland uses a centralised first level control system. Irish project partner's expenditure will therefore need to be checked and confirmed by the Regional Assembly from the region in which they are located:

For on-the-spot checks, the actual travel and subsistence costs will be invoiced in addition to the costs of the checks (see rate mentioned above).
  • For the Southern Regional Assembly, the costs for desk checks is estimated to range from EUR 250 to EUR 1,500 per reporting period (depending on the size and quality of the report and supporting documentation). For on-the-spot checks, the actual travel and subsistence costs will be invoiced in addition to the costs of the checks (see rate mentioned above)
On-the-spot checks

The first level control body will organise on-the-spot-checks for each project partner at least once during the project lifetime.
