Integrity mapping: from EU funds to public procurement

Follow the money trail from MySMIS EU projects to SICAP tenders and Court of Accounts audit findings.

  1. Identify project and funding stream

    Locate the European funding contract in MySMIS, recording SMIS code, project title, eligible budget and authorized beneficiary.

    Contracted projects and EU funds payments — MySMIS / MIPE ↗
  2. Find associated procurement tenders

    Search SICAP by SMIS contract reference or authority name to inspect procurement tenders, technical specifications and contract awards.

    National public procurement — SICAP / SEAP ↗
  3. Cross-examine expenses with audit findings

    Examine Court of Accounts reports for the beneficiary body to identify award irregularities, applied financial corrections or milestone delays.

    Public audit annual reports — Romanian Court of Accounts ↗

A pitfall to avoid

Contracted values in EU projects do not represent final absorption. Funds disburse only against validated payment claims, and audit corrections can drastically reduce net paid amounts.

What you can produce

A public integrity matrix connecting project SMIS code, SICAP procurement tenders, winning contractors and public audit findings.
