BASIC FUNCTIONS.

The basic functions of the application are related to the different authorities with responsibility for fund management:

Management authority:

  • Initial programming.
  • Implementation (financial and indicators)
  • Repayment requests
  • Annual meetings/Monitoring committees.
  • Reprogramming.

Certification Authority:

  • Expenditure declarations and payment requests.
  • Treasury receipts.
  • Division.
  • Accreditation of tax and Social Security obligations.
  • Proposals for transfer to Treasury of returns and withdrawals.

Audit authority:

  • Management controls.
  • Certification controls.
  • Downloads
The following should be highlighted as the main new functional features::
  • OP presentation.
  • Lines of action.
  • Electronic payment order proposal processing procedure.
The main features from previous periods are maintained:
  • Strengthening of the processing of checks (audit) without damaging the management and certification (payments) aspects which have been concentrated on up to now.
  • Implementation of a digital archive system to incorporate all kinds of unstructured documentary information.
  • Use of digital and electronically signed certificates to allow the integrated management of cases in the system without the need for any kind of external processing.
  • Use of web services to facilitate information flows.
  • Incorporation of information processing facilities to provide system users with the greatest possible autonomy in addition to the specifically developed query modules.

Going into a little more depth on the aspects mentioned, digital certificates and electronic signatures are to be used at least during the following processes:

  • In Internet access by the different users.
  • In sending information involving the European Commission.
  • In certifications issued by intermediate bodies and different authorities.
  • In making transfer proposals to the Public Treasury.

Meanwhile, web services will be invoked for:

  • Sending information to the Commission.
  • Bulk loading of information from external files into the system during initial programming, the implementation of projects and carrying out checks
  • Relations with the tax and social security agencies.
  • Check loading carried out by the audit authority.

Finally, the information processing facilities will consist o:

  • All financial balances generated by the system will be provided in PDF and HTML format so they can be processed with automated office tools.
  • There will be specific additional queries in HTML format: those that can be printed although they are not designed to be and do not require a classic financial statement appearance.
  • Loading from external files will be carried out via standardised data exchange files in XML format and downloads may be requested both in HTML and TXT format (in some cases also in XML, when the recipient is associated with IT).

MODULES

The system comprises five different modules, three which are specific to management (Managing Authority, Payments Authority and Controls), and two others which provide services to the above (Administration and Informative Channel). There are three different management modules, as the Units involved are different: two Offices of Deputy Directors of the Directorate General of European Funds (managing and payments authorities), and the IGAE as the audit authority.
