Reporting requirements

Please check the agreement for reporting requirements and customise the report as needed.

Reporting requirements for progress reports, financial reports and audits are stipulated in the agreement with Norec, see Articles 6.1 and 7 of Part 1 of the Agreement (Specific Conditions) and Articles 2, 3 and 5 of Part 2 of the Agreement (General Conditions). The deadline for submission is stated in the agreement.

The progress report should provide a brief and concise account of the progress and learning of the project/programme for the period in question, in accordance with the planned results, as detailed in the agreement. The report should be kept at an overarching and/or aggregated level, and highlight key trends of the project. During the first year of the project cycle the progress report may be kept short and focus mainly on key deviations.

The following must be submitted with the progress report:

  1. Updated results data reporting on actual achievements (results framework or similar document)
  2. Financial report with audited financial statements
  3. Audit report and, where applicable, management letter
  4. Any evaluations or other reviews of the project

The report should always be based on the latest approved application, results framework (or similar document), budget, etc.

The report shall be dated and signed by an authorised representative of the grant recipient, thereby confirming that the information provided in the report is correct.


The list below is not a report template but intended as a guide on which topics we expect to be covered in the report. Please note that for the financial progress report, Norec's template must be used.
