Also, they are responsible for the Financial Final Report preparation for the whole period (01.01.2004-01.01.2007) of the project implementation. The obligation of the Independent Financial Audit Team is to check the LIFE project financial documents and to have its personal independent opinion based on our independent financial audit with regard to the legality of the project accountancy and to let you know our findings.
On what is our opinion based? The following legislation and regulations were taken into consideration by the auditor: - the Order of the Minister of the Public Finances no. 1752/2005 for approving the accountancy regulations harmonized according to the European directives including the updated modifications and completions; - the re-published Government Ordinance of Urgency no. 75 / 1999, including the latest modifications and completions with regard to the activity of the financial audit; - the re-published Accountancy Low no. 82 / 1991 including its latest modifications and completions; - the Financial Audit Standard no. 4400 concerning connected services adopted by the Romanian Financial Auditors House; the name of this Standard is: Mission for implementation of the adopted financial information. - the LIFE Standard Administrative Provisions of the European Commission. I n order to obtain the necessary valid information and explanations, this audit was planned and made in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Audit Standard no. 4400, previously mentioned. By this way, we have acquired reasonable information which demonstrates that the IFE2003NAT/RO/000027REV project of the Forest Research and Management Institute implemented between 01.01.2004 – 01.06.2007 has not any erroneous documents caused by fraudulence or other irregularities or mistakes. Also, in order to have a correct opinion we have evaluated the global correctitude of the project financial documents presented by the beneficiary. The accountancy documents were organized and kept in accordance with the provisions of the re-published Accountancy Low no. 82 / 1991, and taking into account the Order no. 1752 / 2005 of the Minister of the Public Finances; this Order has approved the accountancy regulations including the latest modifications and completions. The accountancy was kept clearly on budget items, so that to fulfill the requirements of a correct presentation, of the project allocated funds and their spending, as well. There were not found cases of alienation of the durable goods or other goods, lost or deteriorated to be reported to the project expenses. With regard to the reported way of the project expenses, the auditor established that - the financial report was based on the existing data in the bookkeeping; - the financial Project bookkeeping register comprises basically documents of the expenses distributed on budget items; such as personnel, travel, external assistance, durable goods, consumable, other costs and overheads; each budget item has its folder in which the financial documents that represent the bookkeeping of the project are perfectly arranged; - all reported expenses are based on justificatory and legally documents; - all financial payments were made in conformity with the national legislation and regulations, based on justificatory documents, like fiscal invoices, banking orders of paying; on each financial document there is a certified reference to the LIFE Pietrosul; - also, all expenses are in conformity with the Standard Administrative Provisions elaborated by the European Commission. A specific mention has to be made in connection with the price of the seedlings that were produced by ICAS and used for plantation in the project area. The price calculation was based on very detailed costs estimation according to the Romsilva National Company normative guidelines. Our audit company found that the ICAS has correctly used the cost price which does not include the benefit which, according to the Standard Administrative Provision is not eligible. But, the benefit is included in the sale price and such price is practiced only when the seedlings are sold for commercial reasons, but not in this co-financing case. Also, it was noticed that ICAS did not charged the overheads for the delivered seedling. This is correct because the overheads are included in the cost price and it is not correct to charge them once again to the project. A listing with the basically calculation of the price will be enclosed to our audit report. The Order no. 1850 / 14.12.2004 of the Minister of the Public Finances with regard to the financial registers and forms, was abided by the Project beneficiary The total allocated amount to the „LIFE2003NAT/RO/000027REV” Project was as much as 213.470 Euros and the funding and the budget breakdown are presented in Table 1 that shows that European Commission, Forest Research Institute and Maramures Forest State Administration have to support 50%, 27% and 23%, respectively. Table 1. Approved project funding at start
NOTE: All financial operation were made in Romanian currency (lei) which were converted in Euros using the exchange rate applied by the European Central Bank on the first day of the month in which the payment was made. The b udget summary of allocated and spent currency by items and credit balance are presented i n the Table 2 , with the following details: - In some items the foreseen amount was exceeded while in some others the spent amount was lower than the foreseen one; - Exceeding the foreseen amount in personnel, consumable materials and overheads is in line with the European Commission regulations, i. e. Standard Administrative Provisions / En. Issued on 15 / 05 / 2002 which applies to the project in question; - The other costs item was exceeded by 2060 Euros; however, the total amount of project allocation was not exceeded; surprisingly, part of this amount was paid for our audit reports so that it is up to the European Commission to decide upon the eligibility of this difference; according to the Romanian regulations, in such instances, this amount could be eligible; - In case of the personnel item, our audit team noticed discordance between ways of salary calculation, such as ( Table 4 , last two columns). (a) using a direct calculation based on time sheets, the ICAS has obtained a total 69041 Euros for personnel ; (b) According to the EC standard programme calculation based on the same time sheets a total of 71410 Euros or personnel item was obtained, i.e. a difference of 2369 Euros. As the beneficiary has used this latter variant, is up to the European Commission to decide which one should be followed.

PENTRU PERIOADA OPERATIONALA 01.01.2004-01.06.2007
În baza contractelor de audit financiar nr. 356 si nr. 357/12.12.2005, noi am procedat la verificarea Raportului Financiar Finalal proiectului „ REFACEREA HABITATELOR FORESTIERE DIN REZERVATIA BIOSFER ei PIETROSU RODNEI, JUD. MARAMURES, COD LIFE2003NAT/RO/000027REV” al INSTITUTULUI DE CERCETARI SI AMENAJARI SILVICE p entru perioada operationala 01.01.2004 - 30.06.2007 , care a fost întocmit luîndu-se în considerare urmatoarele: Legislatia româneasca privind reglementarile contabile; Acordul dintre Comisia Europeana, Directia de Mediu DG si Institutul de Cercetari si Amenajari Silvice încheiat la 13.10.2003 în concordanta cu reglementarile contabile stabilite în Contractul de finantare si Clauzele de executare ale acestuia. Reglementarile Comisiei Europene prevazute în Normativele Administrative Standard publicate la 14.05.2002.
Responsabilitatile Institutului de Cercetari si Amenajari Silvice si ale auditorului financiar Asa cum este prevazut în Contractul de finantare si în Clauzele de executare ale acestuia, Institutul de Cercetari si Amenajari Silvice, cu sediul în sos. Stefanesti nr. 128, comuna Voluntari, judet Ilfov, prin reprezentantii sai, director general, dl. Romica Tomescu, director economic, dl. Anghel Anghel si coordonator proiect, dl. ing. Ioan Blada, care raspunde de tinerea evidentei contabile a proiectului în mod adecvat si de pregatirea Raportului financiar. Obligatia echipei de audit financiar consta în verificarea documentelor financiare si a ne forma o opinie independenta, bazata pe auditul nostru, asupra acelor prevederi si de a va raporta opinia noastra.
PE CE SE BAZEAZA OPINIA Noi am desfasurat auditul având în vedere urmatoarele acte normative: - Ordinul ministrului finantelor publice nr. 1752/2005 pentru aprobarea Reglementarilor contabile conforme cu directivele europene, cu modificarile si completarile ulterioare; - Ordonanta de Urgenta a Guvernului nr. 75/1999, republicata, privind activitatea de audit financiar, cu modificarile si completarile ulterioare; - Legea Contabilitatii nr. 82/1991, republicata, cu modificarile si completarile ulterioare; - Standardul de audit financiar privind serviciile conexe nr. 4400 ”Misiuni pentru efectuarea procedurilor convenite privind informatiile financiare ” , adoptat de Camera Auditorilor Financiari din România(fost ISA 920); - Reglementarile Comisiei Europene prevazute în Normativele Administrative Standard publicate la 14.05.2002. Noi am planificat si am desfasurat auditul nostru în conformitate cu prevederile Standardului de audit financiar pentru servicii conexe nr. 4400 „Misiuni pentru efectuarea procedurilor convenite privind informatiile financiare ” , astfel încât sa obtinem toate informatiile si explicatiile pe care le-am considerat necesare pentru a avea o asigurare rezonabila ca proiectul „LIFE2003NAT/RO/000027REV” implementat de INSTITUTUL DE CERCETARI SI AMENAJARI SILVICE pentru perioada operationala 01.01.2004 – 01.06.2007 nu are documente eronate, cauzate de frauda si de alte neregularitati sau greseli. Pentru a ne forma opinia, am evaluat, de asemenea, corectitudinea globala a prezentarii informatiilor financiare din proiect. Organizarea si conducerea contabilitatii s-a facut în conformitate cu prevederile Legii contabilitatii nr. 82/1991, republicata, cu modificarile si completarile ulterioare, având în vedere si prevederile Ordinului ministrului finantelor publice nr. 1752/2005 pentru aprobarea Reglementarilor contabile conforme cu directivele europene, cu modificarile si completarile ulterioare. Contabilitatea a fost condusa, astfel încât sa se asigure cerintele privind evidentierea distincta a sumelor alocate ca finantare si a cheltuielilor efectuate pe liniile bugetare ale proiectului. Nu au fost cazuri de bunuri înstrainate, pierdute sau avariate, care sa fie raportate la cheltuieli. Referitor la modul de raportare a executiei cheltuielilor proiectului, auditorul a constatat ca: -raportul s-a bazat pe datele existente in contabilitate aranjate perfect în dosare plasate în bibliorafturi; -contabilitatea Proiectului contine documentele de baza ale cheltuielilor, repartizate pe capitole bugetare/de cheltuieli: personal, deplasari, materiale consumabile, echipamente, mijloace fixe, asistenta externa, etc.; fiecare capitol de cheltuieli este plasat în dosarul sau separat în care se pastreaza actele financiares -toate cheltuielile se bazeaza pe documente justificative legale; -toate platile financiare au fost facute în conformitate cu reglementarile si prevederile nationale legale, bazate pe facturi fiscale, ordine de plata bancare, etc. Pe fiecare document financiar este trecuta proiectului LIFE Pietrosul; Au fost respectate prevedile Ordinului ministrului finantelor publice nr. 1850 din 14 decembrie 2004 privind registrele si formularele financiar-contabile. De asemenea, toate cheltuielile au fost facute în conformitate cu Normativele Administrative Standard ale Comisiei Europene publicate la 14.05.2002. Este necesar a se face o mentiune specifica referitoare la pretul puietilor care au fost produsi de ICAS si folositi la plantat în suprafata care face obiectul proiectului. Calcularea pretului pe o estimare detaliata a costurilor, estimare bazata pe normativele Regiei Nationale a Padurilor. Echipa de audit a constatat ca ICAS a utilizat corect pretul de cost , pret care nu include beneficiul care în conformitate cu Normativele Administrative Standard nu este eligibil. Însa beneficiul a fost inclus în pretul de vânzare, pret care se practica numai când puietii sunt vânduti în scopuri comerciale, însa nu si în cazul acestei cofinantari. De asemenea s-a constatat ca ICAS nu a încarcat cu indirecte pretul puietilor livrati. Acest procedeu este corect întrucât indirectele au fost deja incluse în pretul de cost astfel ca nu este corect a se încarca înca odata poiectul. O copie cu analiza de preturi va fi anexata la prezentul raport. Suma totala alocata proiectului LIFE2003NAT/RO/000027REV este de 213.470 EURO iar finantatorii si repartizarea fondurilor sunt prezentate în Tab. 1 din care rezulta ca Uniunea Europeana, Institutul de Cercetari si Amenajari si Directia Silvica Maramures vor suporta 50%, 27% si respectiv 23%.

De asemenea, fondurile au fost cheltuite în conformitate cu Normativele Administrative Standard ale Comisiei Europene publicate la 14.05.2002. - Echipa care a efectuat auditarea apreciaza modul corect în care contabilitatea proiectului a fost tinuta; documentele financiare sunt aranjate în ordine cronologica pe capitole de cheltuieli si plasate în bibliorafturi pe a caror frontal se afla sigla Uniunii Europene; - Auditorul recomanda ICAS sa pastreze în arhiva, într-un singur loc, toate documentele, astfel ca oricine si oricând sa le poata verifica; - Pe baza rezultatelor pozitive ale auditului financiar, auditorul independent accepta si recomanda ICAS ca beneficiar al proiectului sa solicite Comisiei Europenne plata ultimei transe; aceasta transe reprezinta suma platita în avans si în plus de catre respectivul beneficiar.
