F.A.Q.

Who can (and who cannot) enter the Managing and Control Systems dossier in SFC2007?

The Management and Control System description is created, edited and validated by a specific role under the Audit Authority - the MSCO.

This role has been created in order to respond to article 62.3 of 1083/2006 and article 61.3 of 1198/2006 thereby allowing the Audit Authority to delegate this task to an independent body.

The article says: Where the audits and controls referred to in paragraph 1(a) and (b) are carried out by a body other than the Audit Authority, the Audit Authority shall ensure that such bodies have the necessary functional independence.

Consequently the MSCO role is compatible only with the MSAA role and cannot be combined with Managing or Certifying authorities roles (MSMA and MSCA).

The MSCO however does not have the right to send the Management and Control System description to the Commission.

This role is reserved for the Managing Authority (MSMA), the Member State Authority (MSA) and (since 14/05/2009) the Audit Authority (MSAA) with send rights.
