The Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic (MF SR) is designated as the audit authority for the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESI Funds) under Act No 292/2014 on the contribution provided from the European Structural and Investment Funds and amending certain acts, as amended. The aim of the project is to ensure the tasks and responsibilities of the AA under EU legislation, by refinancing the eligible amount of wage expenditure of the MF SR’s staff participating in the activities of the AA during the period of project implementation. Support for administrative capacity from the ESI Funds will help to ensure the stability of the AA’s professional staff and the quality of the AA’s tasks under Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council, as well as other EU and Slovak legislation. At the same time, the project refinances expenditure on employees carrying out activities for the AA on the basis of agreements on the execution of work or other non-employment agreements concluded under the Labour Code. A measurable indicator of the project is ‘Average number of workers reimbursed from OP TP’ and ‘Number of reimbursable hours of employees outside employment’.
