The Directorate of Financial Control of European Funds at the Treasury of the Republic of Cyprus, in cooperation with the Directorate General Growth of the Ministry of Finance, successfully organised on Friday, 4 April 2025, a training seminar in Nicosia on ” Verification and Conflict of Interest Procedures for Grant Schemes, in the framework of the implementation of the Co-funded Programmes “THALIA2021-2027″ and Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture 2021-2027”.
The seminar was attended by Officers from the Intermediate Bodies implementing and monitoring the Grant Schemes, as well as by the Internal Audit Service, enhancing cross-sectoral cooperation and consciousness on critical management processes of the co-funded programmes.
During the workshop, basic verification procedures, control findings, as well as the mechanisms for the prevention and treatment of fraud, corruption, dual funding and conflict of interest were presented. In addition, detailed reference was made to the risk assessment procedures and the management of irregularities and complaints under the 2021–2027 programming period.
The interactive nature of the workshop, which encouraged the active participation of attendees through practical examples and targeted discussions, received particularly positive feedback. The exchange of experience and the enhancement of understanding of the procedures greatly enhanced the usefulness of the seminar.
The seminar is part of the ongoing effort to strengthen the administrative capacity of the stakeholders and promoting the sound management of European resources.
