EFSA Internal Control Framework
Published:
The EFSA Financial Regulation stipulates in Article 44 that the Authorising Officer shall, in accordance with the minimum standards adopted by the Management Board on the basis of equivalent standards laid down by the Commission for its own departments and having due regard to the risks associated with the management environment and the nature of the action financed, put in place the organizational structure and the internal control systems suited to the performance of the duties of authorizing officer. The Internal Control Framework as implemented by the Commission was revised on 19 April 2017. The Internal Control Framework moves away from a purely compliancebased to a principle-based system.
