EU projects financial corrections

Posted on by ts_pm
GWW Legal is the content-related patron for the “Financial corrections in EU projects – beneficiaries legal remedies” conference taking place on 18 April 2013 at the Faculty of Pharmacy at the Wrocław Medical University. 
 
The conference is organised by the Wrocław Medical University (UWM) with GWW Legal acting as the content-related patron of the event.
 
In recent months, beneficiaries of EU funds are subject to control procedures that often entail financial corrections being applied, obliging them to return a significant part of the obtained and expended funds. The scale and dimension of these actions, the lack of clear provisions of law regulating these issues and differences in court case law have persuaded UWM to organise a subject-based conference participated by experts and beneficiaries.
 
Participation in the conference will present an excellent opportunity to discuss significant issues associated with financial corrections and the consequences of questioning the correct use of EU funds.
 
Participation is free of charge for individuals managing public finance sector entities.
 
During the conference, GWW Legal experts, who are conducting a number of proceedings pertaining to the application of financial corrections where they represent local governments, universities and businesses, will present the following issues:
 
  • An assessment of authority practices within the scope of determining and applying financial corrections and demands for the return of funds received as part of project co-financing.
  • Legal aspects and problems in qualifying determined legal irregularities while simultaneous highlighting the irregularities, which should not result in a demand to repay funds or a termination of the project co-financing agreement.
  • Legal protection that beneficiaries are entitled to in a situation where a financial correction is determined and applied followed by a demand to repay funds.
  • Options to avoid the repayment of funds open prior to the decision becoming legally binding.

Posted on by ts_pm
The GWW tax practice, run under the brand GWW Tax, was second in the “most effective tax advisory firms in 2012” category, in the large firms group – according to DGP.  
 
In this year’s 7th edition of Dziennik Gazeta Prawna’s ranking of tax firms and advisors, the tax practice of GWW, run under the GWW Tax brand, was placed fifth in the category of “Most Effective Tax Advisory Firms 2012” in the group of large companies employing 10 and more tax advisors. Only companies from the ‘big four’ were ahead of it.
 
– This years position in the Ranking is an objective confirmation of the leading position of GWW tax practice on the Polish market, as the place in the “most effective firms” category was decided based on hard facts, such as revenues on business activity, effectiveness handling disputes in front of tax authorities or the number of qualified advisors. Such spectacular success is down to the entire GWW Tax team, whose assets comprise knowledge and experience, cohesion and transparency within the scope of client fees as well as a flexible take on problems with which we are approached – said Andrzej Ladziński, GWW Tax managing partner.
 
74 of the best and most dynamic advisory firms on the market took part in the VII Ranking.
