Regarding procurement, preventive controls (ex ante controls) include evaluation of concentration risk for procurement transactions and ex post quality reviews.
Regarding grants, preventive controls (ex ante controls) cover detective controls (ex post controls), periodic assessments of lump sums, unit costs or flat rates and ad hoc controls.
2.2.2.Information concerning the risks identified and the internal control system(s) set up to mitigate them
The Commission (Eurostat) has developed a control strategy. The measures and tools contained in this strategy are fully applicable to the provision of statistics under the proposed regulation. The types of changes introduced by the strategy can reduce the likelihood of and contribute to preventing fraud. They include: reducing complexity, applying cost-effective monitoring procedures and conducting risk-based ex ante and ex post checks. The strategy also includes awareness-raising measures and training on fraud prevention.
2.2.3.Estimation and justification of the cost-effectiveness of the controls (ratio of "control costs ÷ value of the related funds managed"), and assessment of the expected levels of risk of error (at payment & at closure)
The Commission (Eurostat) has a control strategy in place which aims, in general, to limit the risk of non-compliance to under the materiality criterion of 2 %, in line with the objectives on internal control and risk management set in its statistical programme (Single Market Programme in the current MFF). 100% of financial transactions (and thus 100% of the budget) will be subject to obligatory ex ante controls in accordance with the Financial Regulation.
Moreover, checks based on in-depth analysis of the underlying documentation will be carried out on the basis of an annual risk analyses. They may cover 4-6 % of the total budget managed by Eurostat.
2.3.Measures to prevent fraud and irregularities
Specify existing or envisaged prevention and protection measures, e.g. from the Anti-Fraud Strategy.
On 30 October 2013, Eurostat adopted its first anti-fraud strategy for 2014-2017 in accordance with the Commission´s anti-fraud strategy of 24 June 2011 (CAFS). The current anti-fraud strategy covers the period 2021-2024.
This strategy specifies three operational objectives: i) strengthening existing anti-fraud measures; ii) better integrating anti-fraud procedures into Eurostat’s risk assessment and risk management and into audits, planning, reporting and monitoring; and iii) strengthening Eurostat’s anti-fraud capacities and awareness as part of the Commission anti-fraud culture.
The anti-fraud strategy is accompanied by an anti-fraud action plan. During the period of its application, the implementation of the anti-fraud strategy is being monitored twice a year with reporting provided to the management.
All the potential recipients of grants are public bodies (national statistical institutes and other national authorities, as defined in Regulation (EC) No 223/2009). In addition, the grants are awarded without calls for proposals. Measures for monitoring the management of the grants are in place. They take into account the specific grant procedures, and involve ex ante and ex post analysis of the grant management.
The use of unit costs and lump sums, in accordance with Article 124(1) of the Financial Regulation, substantially reduces the risk of errors relating to the management of grants and thus simplifies their administration.
