Article 30 Follow-up of the audit authority reports
United Kingdom
Following receipt of the reports and opinions referred to in the first and second indents of Article 29 (2) (b), the national authorising officer shall:
decide whether any improvements to the management and control systems are required, record the decisions in that respect and ensure the timely implementation of those improvements;
make any necessary adjustments to the payment applications to the Commission.
The Commission may decide either to take follow-up action itself in response to the reports and opinions, for example by initiating a financial correction procedure, or to require the beneficiary country to take action, while informing the national authorising officer and the competent accrediting officer of its decision.
