More DescriptionFollowing on from the NAO report (HCP 289, session 2004-05; ISBN 0102932344) published in March 2005, the Committee's report examines the financial management of EU funds during 2003, based on the audit by the European Court of Auditors. For the 10th year in succession, the Court qualified its opinion in a number of important aspects, including the legality and regularity of transactions for expenditure headings such as the Common Agricultural Policy, structural measures and pre-accession aid. The Committee's report considers a range of issues including the Statement of Assurance, key developments and policies to strengthen financial management and control of the EU budget, rates of fraud and irregularities, and the importance of the UK's forthcoming presidency of the EU to press for improvements in financial management.
