Innovation stimulates the competitiveness of our national and European economy. It leads to solutions for environmental and social issues such as climate change, ageing population or sustainable energy. The purpose of subsidy programmes such as Horizon 2020, Interreg 2014-2020 and OP EFRO 2014-2020 is to stimulate innovation. If your organisation carries out research into technological development and innovation? you could be entitled to subsidies. A condition is that you draw up a subsidy justification. This justification will often need to be checked by an external, independent accountant.
This subsidy justification shows the provider, for example the European Commission or the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), that you are making good use of the money. If the provider also requires an audit opinion or report of findings by an independent, external accountant, BDO can help you.
