ANNEX II

Explanatory note APEC 2003-1823

AS Audit Co. submitted the audit report of the final report of agreement 2003-1829 on 30 September 2008. This note serves as an explanation on the way the final eligible amount has been determined.

The auditors have calculated the percentage of the sample based on the funds committed by the NA and not based on the total amount paid by the NA to beneficiaries.

By mistake, they have determined the error rate as follows: Ineligible amount of sample instead of Ineligible amount of sample

Total amount committed Amount paid to beneficiaries of sample

In order to calculate the correct error rate, the logic of the auditors has to be followed and the total committed by the NA to projects is considered as "population". The error is calculated as follows:

Ineligible amount of sample Commitment x Tested percentage

The following table shows the error rate per action as well as the other amounts related to it:

In Action 2, the funds reimbursed by the beneficiaries (618,50€) have been deducted from the amount paid by the NA. Furthermore, the auditors indicate that 216.539,48 € are yet to be recovered from beneficia-ries. They highlight that this amount includes projects for which the Romanian anti-fraud department is carrying out investigations. Due to the lack of information concerning these open projects in the final report, the Commission decides to deduct this amount from the amount paid by the NA. This decision is taken in the light of the exceptional circumstances of the National Agency in the period covered by the agreement in question.
