You can access the eReport through the Funding and Tenders Opportunities portal
The eReport comprises the following 4 mandatory attachments (please use the templates provided below):
• Final narrative technical report (part 2), which you must upload to the EACEA eReporting system as a single pdf document. EN

• Signed (by the auditor) Audit certificate (“Report of Factual Findings on the Final Financial Report – Type I or II”) and a signed (by both the auditor and the legal representative of the coordinator) overview of the final financial statement, attached as a single pdf document- (part 4). Please refer to Annex VI of your grant agreement for information on the type of report you have to submit. The mandatory templates can be downloaded from here (under Audit procedure type I and II).
