Manual’s Preface
The successful implementation of a project requires significant effort to monitor and control its various
activities in order to ensure the optimum performance and homogeneity of the methods and actions
applied.
Towards this direction, the development and application of a Quality Assurance / Quality Control
(QA/QC) system is required. The operation of a QA/QC system will provide early warning in cases of
deviations of the designed project’s performance so as the necessary corrective measures to be
promptly applied.
The present Manual provides the guidelines for the conduction of the QA/QC Reports that will cover
the whole duration of LIFE CONOPS’ implementation, monitoring its progress.
Each QA/QC Report consists of the following 2 parts:


The Management Part, which will examine the following parameters:

milestones achievement

deliverables completion

consistency with the reporting schedule

consistency with the implementation timetable

performed expenditures and consistency with the approved budget’s cost breakdown
The Technical Part, which will examine the performance of the project’s implementation according
to its targets.
Every 9 months during the entire LIFE CONOPS’ implementation period, the QA/QC Committee will
conduct a QA/QC Report based on the present Reporting Manual and will deliver it to the Management
Committees of the project to be informed and to decide, if required, correction or improvement
actions.

Consistency of project’s expenditures with the approved Cost Breakdown
I nstructions:
The evaluation of the consistency of the expenditures performed during the implementation of the LIFE CONOPS
project until the date of the QA/QC Report will be performed based on the approved Proposal’s Cost Breakdown
(Financial Form R2 - Costs per Action).
In the following “Summarised LIFE CONOPS’ implementation expenditures cost” Table the grey cells present the
approved budget per expenditure category, while the green ones present the so far status.
LIFE CONOP’s Coordinator ten days before the end of each nine month reporting period will send to all
Beneficiaries the “QA-QC - Expenditures per Beneficiary” excel file in order to be filled-in.
Important notes for all Beneficiaries for the use of the above excel file:
(a) The costs which are filled-in are the Total Costs and not the Eligible Costs.
(b) The budget figures do not include Overheads, which are calculated on a flat rate basis (7%) of the
eligible costs. The result is presented in a separate cell for the total of the expenditures of all Actions.
(c) Fill-in the costs of the expenditures performed by your organisation since the beginning of the project's
implementation until the QA/QC Reporting date.
The Coordinator after receiving the filled-in excel files from all Beneficiaries, transfers the data in the “QA-QC Expenditures Summary” excel file. The data resulting from summing-up the Beneficiaries’ data are then imported
into the following “Summarised LIFE CONOPS’ implementation expenditures cost” Table.
