The annual accounts need to be send to the Commission by 15 February at the latest (Art 30 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 908/2014).
The period for entering the accounts relating to financial year 2018 has been opened in SFC2014 (in ACCEPTANCE – ACC as well as in PRODUCTION - PROD).
Please contact your liaison officer for creating the appropriate roles. Be aware that roles need to be created at the correct 'NODE' and in PROD environment (for official transmissions) and separately in ACC environment if you want to perform test in the parallel ACC (recommended).
Please note that the Management Declaration and the Audit Opinion require an electronic signature, for this purpose, the liaison officer must create a user-id for the Paying Agency director and for the responsible person within the Certification Body. The section Annual Accounts must also be electronically signed by a user with the Paying Agency role (not necessarily by the Director).
