Public sector

Accounting management and financial standards:
a trusted partnership with Exponens.

The public sector is a separate and unique sector, both in terms of its operation and its specific aspects in terms of regulations and standards. Budgets are sometimes tight and require choices to be made regarding the allocation of available funds. Learning how to operate with limited financial resources is therefore crucial.

Due to their public nature, the requirements for transparency and financial accountability are therefore high. This involves reporting on funding requests, the use of public funds and providing accurate and reliable financial information. Complex accounting standards must comply with specific rules on public accounting, presentation of financial statements and consolidation of accounts.

Finally, it is necessary to find the right balance to finance public services while not overburdening taxpayers financially. The tax burden and sharing of charges must be studied in detail before each decision.

Verification of expenditure on projects financed by the European Commission and other donors

  • Your concerns:
    • You would like to call on an independent expert to audit the expenses for which you are requesting reimbursement from the funder and to obtain an audit report on these expenses.
    • This report therefore exempts you from providing all the supporting documents in support of the final financial report. You are particularly looking for thoroughness, responsiveness and compliance with deadlines, specific requirements for this type of intervention.
  • The Exponens offer:
    • Our mission is to check that the expenses for which reimbursement is requested have actually been incurred, are accurate and eligible in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract. The assignment concludes with the submission of an audit report on these expenses, attached to the payment request submitted by the beneficiary to the funder.
    • The BKR International group, present in 80 countries, of which Exponens is a member, allows us where appropriate to handle, in a coordinated manner, the other stakeholder(s).
