What mistakes should be avoided when reporting financial data, especially for FSTP?

When reporting financial support to third parties, beneficiaries should enter the actual funding amounts transferred to the recipients during the reporting period and not the total costs or estimated funding. All eligible costs incurred must be reported using the official EU funding rates, even if the internal arrangements provide different reimbursement rates. Failing to report all costs reduces the EU contribution and may create gaps in the partnership’s budget. Beneficiaries should therefore collect complete cost data and adhere to the templates provided by the Commission.
