October 2014 - The Operational Assessment of the financial circuits of Ukraine on behalf of DG ECFIN was completed.        This was requested by the EC as a matter of urgency following the decision made to support the transitional government.

January 2020. Four Assist is awarded for the 3rd consecutive round of the DG ECFIN 4-year framework service contracts for conducting operational assessments and taking part in PEFA studies. As a lead firm this time, together with our partner, DT Global, we remain committed to deliver the services required. The main object of the present framework contract is a) to analyse the legislative framework, the administrative procedures and the financial circuits of the administrative bodies that manage EU funds in the countries which receive macro-financial assistance in the context of an Operational Assessment. b) to take part in the 'Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability' (PEFA) studies which aims at assessing the performance of the public finance management system.
