Keeping up-to-date
The LEES grant audit team keeps up to date by attending regular CPD events and conferences hosted by funders for their beneficiaries and financial controllers. See how we’ve been getting involved below, and follow us on X (twitter): @grantaudits .
The LEES grant audit team are proud to be members of the UK’s Association of Research Managers and Administrators. As a founding member of the Audit and Compliance Special Interest Group, we assist other members with their specific questions around grant audit procedures and eligible costs. At a wider level, we attend ARMA conferences and feed into discussions around the financial administration of Research Grants.
INTERREG IVB Northwest Europe hosted a workshop for project beneficiaries and their First Level Controllers in order to keep project participants up to date with the complex eligibility guidelines associated with this programme. LEES were part of an expert panel and fielded questions on the interpretation of eligible costs guidelines and how the guidance should be developed for INTERREG V.
In October 2019, LEES attended a meeting held by UKRO and UKRI in London for European Liaison Officers from universities and research institution as well as other beneficiaries of H2020 funding. It included discussions on Brexit preparedness and contingency preparations.
We attended the training session for First Level Controllers under the INTERREG V programme for France (Channel) England. The day ensured that we are fully cognizant with the complex rules associated with this funding stream in its latest programme.
