After its first online course on European funding opportunities, the European Association for Local Democracy (ALDA) is opening a new training course on a highly popular, practical topic: financial management and audits for EU-funded projects.

With 5 weekly sessions of 2 hours each and a very clear focus, this new online training opportunity wishes to be the sought-after answer for all organisations, local authorities and stakeholders that have access to European funds and need support with adequate preparation, implementation and monitoring at the financial level.

The course develops in particular the topics of the European Commission’s financial regulations; the elaboration of the project budget; financing your idea; managing spending and implementation; resource reallocation and monitoring; and the financial report and audit.

The course will take place in English from Wednesday 20 May to Wednesday 17 June, from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, for a total of 10 hours.

ALDA was established in 1999 at the initiative of the Council of Europe to promote good governance and citizen participation at the local level. It is a membership based organisation gathering more than 300 members (including local authorities, associations of local authorities, and civil society organisations) coming from more than 40 countries. ALDA is funded through membership fees, but it also benefits from funds from the European Commission, the Council of Europe, and other public and private donors.
