What we are working on

An exchange between Bodies performing the accounting function is planned in an event, which will also include the closure of 2014-2020 with Certifying Authorities. 

The novelties in Accounts in 2021-2027 will also be the topic of a session at the Interreg Knowledge Fair 2024.
