Control system
This section provides information on the system set up for control in Spain for the 2021-2027 programming period.
Spain uses a decentralised control system. The approbation body will approve an independent, qualified controller based on a proposal made by the project partner.
According to Spanish National Control System, both options, internal controllers (independent from the unit in charge of project finances) and external controllers can be designated as controller.
To be designated as controllers, the proposed controllers must sign a commitment declaration as specific requirement in order to be designated by the Ministry. Additionally, independent/external controllers must be registered in the Official Register of Auditors of Spain (ROAC).
The approbation body

The costs resulting from the control are borne by the project partners and can be reported as eligible costs in compliance with the relevant EU regulations and programme rules. Costs are determined by the public procurement made by the partner.
These costs should therefore be planned in the project budget.
More information will be available soon. In case of question, please contact your approbation body.
