Interim Audit of H2020 Grants
For H2020 grants there is the expectation that there will be one interim audit (usually after the end of P1) for any grant with a budget of €325,000 or more of direct costs.
We have now agreed with LEES Chartered Accountants that if a Department requests an additional audit this can be arranged. This new agreement is particularly useful for large grants and reduces the risk of non-compliance.
If you have any queries please contact Sara.Hajnassiri@admin.cam.ac.uk
