MANAGEMENT DECLARATION (Article 3)

I, …, Director of the … Paying Agency, present the accounts for this Paying Agency for the financial year 16.10.xx to 15.10.xx+1.

I declare, based on my own judgement and on the information at my disposal, including, inter alia, the results of work of the internal audit service, that:

• the accounts presented and submitted in electronic format give, to the best of my knowledge, a true, complete and accurate view of the expenditure and receipts for the financial year referred to above. In particular, all debts, advances, guarantees and stocks known to me have been recorded in the accounts, and all receipts collected relating to the EAGF and the EAFRD have been properly credited to the appropriate funds,

• I have put in place a system which provides reasonable assurance on the legality and regularity of the underlying transactions, including that the eligibility of demands and, for rural development, the procedure for attributing aid, are managed, controlled and documented in conformity with Union rules.

The expenditure entered in the accounts was used for its intended purpose, as defined in Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013.

Furthermore, I confirm that effective and proportionate anti-fraud measures under Article 58 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 are in place and take account of the risks identified.

That assurance is, however, subject to the following reservations:

Finally, I confirm that I am not aware of any undisclosed matter which could be damaging to the financial interest of the Union.
