IPA Finance Lab: Practical Exchange for Programme Practitioners

Interreg IPA

This event aims to create a dedicated platform for practitioners involved in the financial management of Interreg IPA programmes, namely financial officers from Managing Authorities and Joint Secretariats, representatives of national authorities, as well as controllers and audit authorities involved in Interreg IPA programmes.

The event will feature interactive sessions led by experts from Interact and experienced practitioners from various Interreg IPA programmes. Participants will be able to discuss recent developments in financial management, share experiences, and engage in problem-solving activities. The focus will be on practical aspects of financial management, including SCOs, eligibility of expenditure, reporting, public procurement, and risk-based management verification. Additionally, the event will provide a valuable opportunity to clarify the roles and responsibilities of various actors involved in the financial management of Interreg IPA programmes, ensuring a clear understanding and better coordination.

The IPA Finance Lab also offers a unique opportunity to connect with colleagues from other Interreg IPA programmes. This collaborative environment aims to foster a deeper understanding of financial management practices and ensure comprehensive support for the successful implementation of Interreg IPA programmes.
