Cohesion Under the regulations for the 2007-2013 programming period, Member States have to report annually to the Commission the corrections stemming from all controls performed. The Commission is performing risk-based audits to test the reliability of these figures as part of its assurance process. It is highlighted that the Commission has taken a prudent approach, due to certain weaknesses in the Member State figures, so as to ensure that the amounts are not overstated – as a result some of them may in reality be higher. This, however, has no impact on the reliability of the Commission's own figures. The amounts in question are very significant and when added to the results of the Commission's work, give a very clear indication of the success of the controls put in place by both parties.
