Migration and Security Funds: How to Effectively Manage, Audit and Control AMIF & ISF 2019 | Lexxion Publisher | 23 May 2019 | Lundqvist & Lindqvist (Kapitel 8) , Klarabergsviadukten 90, 111 64 Stockholm, Sweden

Implementation and conrol of Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) and Internal Security Fund (ISF) brings a lot of questions and challenges for the Responsible Authorities, Delegated Authorities and Audit Authorities, who are in charge of migration, asylum and internal security:

• What are the possible synergies between AMIF/ISF and other EU Funds?
• How to make management verifications of AMIF and ISF more effective?
• What are the key requirements for system audit, audit of expenditures and audit of accounts?
• How to ensure appropriate record-keeping and appropriate audit trail under conditions of security aspects?
• How to audit public procurement and State aid in AMIF and ISF?
• How to detect and manage errors and irregularities, concerning lack of access to the documentation (because of security aspects)?
• How to combat fraud and corruption?
• Audit of AMIF and ISF by the European Court of Auditors

Proposal for the Regulatory framework 2021-2027, sets out common provisions for 7 shared management funds, including AMIF, ISF and BMVI. Consequently, Migration and Security Funds will be added to the mainstream funds. What does it mean for the future? What challenges will it bring?
