The use of the support must be communicated to the public.
The beneficiary is obliged to separate project-related costs from other expenses. Depending on the accounting software used in the company, cost separation can be organised either by opening a separate cost account for the project or by distinguishing project costs through additional identifiers linked to account codes (object, project, etc.).

The report must include:
