Annex on indicators used to reimburse the outputs and results

• - formal changes•

Financial flexibility (1)10% of allocations for indicators of the same type (output / result). No increase of the LS or UC, no transfer between outputs & results, no change of milestones

Decision:Output 1: 100 € /10 people trained (UC 10€/pt) Output 2: 100 € / 100 people followed up (UC 1€/pf)Result 1: 100 € /10 people in employment after 3 months (UC 10€/pe)

Final: 90 € for 9 people trained, 105 € (+5%) for 105 people followed up (Max 110/110)100 € (capped) for 11 people in employment after 3 months.

Financial flexibility (2)

• Indicators of the same "substance"

• Ex: UC = child occupying a place in a childcare service

• - with an attendance rate > 70% = 100 €• - with an attendance rate > 30%, <70% = 50€• - with an attendance rate < 30% = 0 €

Audit issues

-Audit of public procurement : focus on procedures, no audit of the amounts paid.

-Necessary to keep this possibility = respect of applicable law can be verified
