Navigating through an audit in Horizon Europe can feel intimidating — but understanding how it works can save you time, stress, and money. In this free 45-minute session, our expert trainer will walk you through the essentials of financial audits under Horizon Europe, with a short outlook on lump-sum technical audits. You’ll discover who could conduct them, how likely you are to be selected, and what different types of auditors (e.g. EC employees versus typical “Big- Four” approach) are really looking for. Using practical insights and real-life examples, we’ll shed light on the full audit process — from preparation to on-site visits — helping you understand what to expect and how to respond confidently.  

Whether you’re a project manager, financial officer, or coordinator, this webinar will give you the clarity you need to face audits with confidence — and know where to dig deeper when you’re ready to master Horizon Europe financial management. 

 

This session will cover: 

• Financial audits in Horizon Europe — whos, whens and whys? 

• Understanding your chances of being selected for an audit; 

• How the financial audit works: verifying declared costs and eligibility.

• What to prepare: key documents, team roles, and practical steps before auditors arrive; 

• What happens during on-site visits and how to manage the audit outcomes; 

 

Join us live! Reserve your free seat and gain essential insights into the Horizon Europe audit process.
