The Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic is designated as the audit authority for programmes covered by the Partnership Agreement 2014-2020 within the meaning of Act No 292/2014 on the contribution provided from the European Structural and Investment Funds and amending certain acts. The project itself is intended to help ensure the work of the audit authority as requested by the European Commission for the implementation of European cohesion policy. The main activity of the project is the reimbursement of salary expenditure of the administrative capacity of the Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic. Support for administrative capacity from the European Structural and Investment Funds will help to ensure the stability of the expert staff of the audit authority and the related assurance of the quality performance of all the tasks of the audit authority under Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council, as well as other European and Slovak legislation. The achievement of the objective of the project will be tracked through a measurable indicator focusing on the number of administrative capacities of the Ministry reimbursed from the Operational Programme Technical Assistance for the 2014-2020 programming period, converted into full-time equivalents.
