Summary: For the three years 2013-2015, agencies’ overall spending on grants amounted to 740 million euro. The Court’s audit examined the legal compliance and effectiveness of the systems and control procedures in place for managing grants in five agencies (approximately 92 % of total grant funding). The Court found that the agencies audited have in general awarded and paid grants in compliance with the rules. However, most have not adequately addressed alternative funding options and consequently grants have not always been the best way to achieve their objectives. Furthermore, the audited agencies have not adequately measured the effectiveness of their grants. |
