Project reports
Financial reports are an important aspect of project funder reports. Grant providers generally require an auditor’s report. This is the opinion of an external auditor on the financial statement for a project.
Responsibility
- Project administrators are responsible for ensuring the project documentation is correct and complete and must submit project files to the Audit department for verification in good time.
- The Audit department verifies whether a project file the documents required by an external auditor to conduct the audit in a prompt and fitting manner. Points for improvement following the Audit department control are immediately passed on to the responsible unit. An external auditor is only brought in when the file is complete.
Guidelines for project management
The Project Management Guidelines (in Dutch) have been developed for project managers at Leiden University. They provide information on financial and administrative statements and reports on projects that are funded by external parties, and state which requirements project files must meet.
