Final Report

The purpose of the Final Report is to describe the entire project. Throughout the project period all projects will have been submitting regular progress reports to the Joint Programme Secretariat, which will have allowed them to gain an understanding of the activities undertaken during that period. However, the Final Report concentrates primarily on the results and impacts of those activities. It should form a qualitative summary of the project as a whole with relevant information for the financers and auditors of the project, as well as other organisations that can have an interest in or could benefit from the experiences and results of the project.

The final report has been divided into 3 sections and all 3 sections must be completed. The report is divided as follows:

1. Administrative Section

2. Project Content Section

3. Dissemination Section

Following the end-date of project activities, the Lead Partner has 3 months to pay any outstanding expenditure and then another 3 months to complete the final report and audit. The final report should be submitted to the Joint Programme Secretariat no later than 6 months after the completion of project activities, along with the final certificate of expenditure and application for payment.

Further information on completing a final report can be found in the Guidance for Submission of the Final Report. All documents associated with the final report can be downloaded from the Document Library of the NPP website under Main Project Final Reporting Package.

Please note that the last 5 % of the project’s budgeted ERDF/Non Member States funding will not be paid out until the final report has been approved by the Managing and Paying Authorities.
