The 2028–2034 EU Multiannual Financial Framework is set to reshape the way EU funds are programmed, managed, controlled and audited. The proposed National and Regional Partnership Plans (NRPPs) introduce a new funding architecture that places greater emphasis on simplification, flexibility and performance.
This three-day seminar explores the practical implications of these changes for organisations responsible for managing, implementing, controlling and auditing EU funds. It examines how management and control systems can adapt to the evolving regulatory framework while maintaining robust safeguards for the EU budget.
Participants will gain a clearer understanding of the new framework, identify the main challenges for their organisations, and explore practical approaches to strengthening risk management, control effectiveness and accountability.
The central question: How can we achieve better results from the available funding while ensuring that every euro remains properly managed, verifiable and protected?
With over 34 years of experience at the European Commission and in international cooperation, of which 17 years as a middle and senior manager, Mark is a senior expert in public financial management, governance, audit, internal control and fraud prevention.
He combines in-depth knowledge of the European institutional and financial framework with extensive practical experience in designing, assessing and strengthening internal control systems, risk management frameworks and accountability mechanisms.
His added value is helping public institutions identify control weaknesses, address fraud and financial risks, improve audit readiness and translate complex regulatory requirements and international standards into workable solutions. He focuses on strengthening organisational capacity, safeguarding public funds and ensuring that control systems deliver real results rather than simply meeting compliance requirements.
As an independent senior adviser and trainer, he supports governments, public institutions and international organisations through tailored assessments, strategic advice and practical capacity-building programmes.
Facing challenges in internal control, financial governance or fraud risk management? He helps turn these challenges into concrete action plans, stronger institutional safeguards and measurable improvements in performance and accountability.
The three-day seminar takes place in Rome, Italy, from 21 to 23 April 2027.
