INTERIM REPORT

The submission of interim report will not affect the threshold of the open amount. 

Periodic reporting is the new terminology in the MGA to refer to reporting linked to payments (e.g. Final Report). It does not refer to multi-year funding.

As soon as the Partner becomes aware of any corrupt, fraudulent, collusive or coercive practice potentially impacting an ECHO funded action, it has to inform immediately DG ECHO by filling in the fraud allegation reporting form published on the ECHO Partners’ Website and sending it to echo-reportfraud@ec.europa.eu. 
 

The continuous reporting refers to any reporting which is not linked to a payment (e.g.  interim reports). Both continuous and periodic final report have a narrative part which 
focuses on the implementation of the Action.

As general rule, the interim report is not required for Actions with a duration of less than 10 months, unless it is operationally justified (e.g. no possibility for DG ECHO to monitor the implementation of the action or in case of remote management of the Project). For longer Actions, the indicative reporting schedule is the following (see Interim Report – Scope and schedule):

When the Partner requests an extension of the Project duration (e.g. from 12 months to 24), DG ECHO may deem necessary (an) extra IR(s) as per the table above. This should be confirmed with the Desk Officer at modification request stage and will be reflected in the Commission letter accepting the amendment – should this entail both a change in the submission date of the IR or the addition of new IR(s).  Being this a consequential change linked to the upstream request submitted by the Partner (extension of the duration of the action), please consider that the agreement of the Partner on the new reporting schedule, will not be explicitly requested – as it was the case under the FPA2014.
