Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20 a (new)
Paragraph 20 a (new)
20 a. Emphasises that the Court’s finding confirmed persistent systemic errors for declared personnel costs and that in particular, SMEs and new beneficiaries are more error-prone than other beneficiaries. Highlights that these errors are also regularly reported by the ex post audits of the CAS and its contracted auditors; emphasises, therefore, that streamlining of the Horizon 2020 rules for the declaration of personnel costs and wider use of simplified cost options is a precondition to stabilise error rates to below materiality level. Encourages the Joint Undertaking to strengthen its internal control systems to address the increased risk regarding SMEs and new beneficiaries;
