KPMG in Hungary is the appointed independent Certification Body of the EAGF-EAFRD EU agricultural Funds. Annually we provide an opinion to the European Commission, certifying the legality and regularity of expenditures made from the Funds, as well as the compliance of the Hungarian control system, contributing to the correct and effective implementation. With our objective, independent and unbiased professional approach we respect the financial interests of all involved parties.

Our compliance and accreditation services provided to the Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture focus on the compliance of the internal control system that governs the implementation of the agricultural and rural development support measures. Compliance is assessed against the pre-defined set of EU criteria, covering the internal environment, control activities, IT system security, communication and monitoring.

With our work we support the smooth implementation of the agricultural subsidies and assist in the identification of best practices both locally and within the broader ranges of the EU.

The agricultural and rural development measures together form the most significant finance programme in the European Union, and as such, provide the greatest support in Hungary as well. It is imperative that the implementation be in compliance with both the EU and national legislation. Acting as the Certification Body KPMG supports this effort.
