Co-organised by GrantXpert Consulting and European University Cyprus

Description
Effective financial management is a cornerstone of every successful EU-funded project. It ensures compliance with programme rules and the credibility, transparency, and long-term sustainability of beneficiaries’ operations.
In the complex framework of Horizon Europe, even small administrative or accounting oversights can result in significant financial corrections, reputational risks, or loss of funding. Strengthening internal financial practices and understanding the programme’s requirements is therefore essential for every organisation involved in European projects.
This 2-hour webinar focuses on the 15 most frequent and significant mistakes made by beneficiaries in the financial management of Horizon Europe projects.
Through a combination of examples and insights drawn from past audits, participants will receive practical guidance on how to recognise and prevent these mistakes while maintaining full compliance with the programme’s financial rules.
