Call 2013 rules:

ILI will have an audit to asses how changes have impact on coordinators and partners.

Statement needed on the behalf of our organization to explain the current procedure, most detailed possible. Use real daily rate, internal policy on salaries, time sheet (Germany will provide us a standard time sheet that we can use but it is not mandatory, we can use ours), employment contracts, proove of payment (salaries, taxes, social services…). Audit will happen at the end of the project.

Ex: staff cost = to be careful with daily rate

Cf: guidance notes / Report of Factual Findings on the Final Financial Report Type 1

- Real daily rate

- Intern policy on salary

- Time sheet

- Employment contract

- True of payment of the salary

- True travel costs

- Subcontracting costs

<1000€ = just of invoice

1000€ / 15OOO€ = need of tender which explains the needs + offer that answers the tend
