Dear SPARTA financial team, the 2nd and last reporting period (M19-M41) of the SPARTA project ends today (30th June 2022) and thus, we kindly ask you to prepare yourself for the financial reporting. The online forms, where you have to fill in your cost claims and the spent person months per work package, are going to be opened in the EC portal beginning of July 2022. Financial handbook Please find in the SVN<https://sparta.technikon.com/04-Financial/SPARTA-Financial-Handbook.… our financial handbook with some general instructions for reporting. As soon as the project officer opens the periodic reporting session in the participant portal, you will have to insert all figures there. This needs to be done by each partner individually, but we can offer to perform a first informal check as soon as you saved a first draft of your figures online. CFS In case your requested accumulated EC funding for the project exceeds 325.000 EUR (excl. indirect costs), an audit certificate (CFS = certificate on financial statements) has to be provided. A template can be found here: http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/gm/reporting/h2020… Please start to prepare this with your auditor and let us know if you have any questions. Cost claims after 30th June 2022 Remember that after the official end of the period (30th June 2022) cost claims can be made only for reporting activities incl. audit certificates and for the preparation of and the participation in the review. Costs for R&I activities in technical WPs cannot be claimed after this date. Timeline We need to submit the FINAL periodic report incl. your financial statements to the EC within 60 days after the end of the reporting period. However, we need your spent person months per WP a little bit earlier (approx. 1 week before) for the technical report (Part B).
