Eligibility check of Maltese partners
NCPs are required to confirm to the Programme’s Joint Secretariat
that applicants from their country respect the eligibility requirements of the programme.
Maltese applicants must provide the NCP (the FPD) the following by 23 November 2015 (i.e. within 2 weeks from the 2nd deadline of the call for projects):
Copy of the Application Form;
State Aid declaration: provide State Aid Monitoring Board’s opinion on whether the project constitutes State Aid;
VAT declaration: liaise with VAT Dept. to provide VAT status;
If beneficiary is a Ministry or a private entity, applicant must provide from respective Ministry (PS/DPI) or entity’s authorities (CEO or equivalent) a declaration of project remit within their mandate
Eligibility check of Maltese partners

Bodies governed by public law (public equivalent) and private bodies must provide: information about their respective legal status; Proof of financing through a set of audited accounts for the last 2 financial years. If the 2014 audited accounts are not available, the management accounts for 2014 must be provided
Private non-profit bodies must provide their legal framework + their registration as Voluntary Organisations
Verification of Expenditure – First Level Control
Malta - Interreg MED 2014-2020 a decentralised system for the verification of project related expenditures
Procedure: 1. Partner selects own auditor in accordance with sound public procurement principles and informs FPD about proposed controller/auditor 2. FPD consults the list of Maltese Registered Auditors on: https://secure3.gov.mt/accountancyboard/Registers/RegisteredAuditors.aspx / https://secure3.gov.mt/accountancyboard/Registers/RegisteredAuditFirmsPrincipals.aspx
3.If the proposed controller is enlisted, the FPD shall designate the project’s first level control function to such auditor
Verification of Expenditure
The selected auditor will be entirely responsible for the verification
of the partner’s expenditure on the project. Upon verification, the auditor sends the documentation (claim) directly to the Lead Partner. Still, for monitoring purposes only, the partner sends to FPD a copy of the auditor’s certificate issued upon verification of a project claim. The FPD may carry out supplementary checks on projects. This will be based on a risk-assessment exercise.
