We are pleased to announce that the a new module “Transmission of Authorities for Audit purposes (EAGF/EAFRD)” is now available for testing in SFC2021 Acceptance environment under “Audit” Menu: https://webgate.acceptance.ec.europa.eu/sfc2021/sfc-fo/programming/toa-va/content/full-list-authorities

This new module allows the Member States to consult their “List of valid Authorities (EAGF/EAFRD)” used for Audit purposes:
- Paying Agencies;
- Coordinating Bodies;
- Certification Bodies;
- Competent Authorities;
- Permanent Representation
and to consult the list of contact persons for each of these Authorities.
In order to update an Authority, send a new one, or update some contact persons, the Member states can create and send to the Commission a “Transmission of Authorities (ToA)”.
Please be aware that two types of modifications are foreseen:
- Minor: Where the MS will have full control of their data (for things like changing the contact person or the name of the Agency)
- Major: Where there might be needed to follow a workflow and some exchanges in order to be finished (notably the creation of a new Paying Agency)
A step-by-step tutorial on how to create, edit and send a Transmission of Authorities will be available soon on the SFC2021 Support Portal.
We are inviting the Member States to provide their feedback or any questions by contacting the SFC2021 Support Team: EC-SFC2021-INFO@ec.europa.eu
The activation of this module in Production is foreseen in January.
Please note that the Transmissions of authorities Sent in Acceptance for testing will not be automatically copied/sent in Production environment.
