The purpose of this note is to give practical guidance to the Member States (mainly their audit authorities and/or independent audit bodies) on their responsibilities with regard to the compliance assessment and the preparation of the report and opinion required under Article 71 of Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006. The guidance note is accompanied by a model report and a checklist, which is recommended to be used as a tool by the audit authority or body drawing up the report (hereinafter "the compliance assessment body") in order to carry out the assessment. The model for the opinion on the compliance of the systems is provided for under Annex XIII of Regulation (EC) No 1828/2006. The guidance is also applicable for European Territorial Cooperation (ETC) programmes. However, some specificities related to these programmes have also been included. It should be mentioned that the compliance assessments for ETC programmes should be submitted separately from those covering programmes for the other two Objectives.
