Minimising risks - neat processing of finances
- reporting obligations have not been fully met or documents contain mistakes.
- funds have been spent improperly.
- deliverables have not been accomplished as contracted.
These cases are particularly painful if the money has already been spent or if work contracts depend on the funding.

Your benefits from concentris
- Less work: We prepare reports in such a way that you and your partners only need to supply the minimum of information. We are the first contact point for questions and we help to overcome difficulties.
- Complicated things become simple: The provisions concerning the sponsors’ finance and accounting are complex. We know them in detail and are used to making them comprehensible for others.
- Faster receipt of payments: The EU Commission authorises payments only when reports and accounting documents are complete and entirely error-free. We take care of this for you.
- Neutral moderator in financial matters: Your consortium consists of partners and yet everybody still has their own interests, particularly where a lot of money is concerned. We moderate the budget negotiations and check financial statements from a neutral perspective. This makes many things easier.
- More security: We collect all documents from the partners. Whenever something is to be submitted to the EU Commission, we check it meticulously beforehand. In this way, you can be reassured that reports and financial statements are approved by the EU in a timely manner.
