Goal and impact
We want to ensure that applicants spend the grant according to the conditions. We therefore check whether they actually carry out the subsidised activities. We do this specifically with a sample. This algorithm automatically selects the companies that have applied for a subsidy. The selected companies receive an administrative check or a company visit by, for example, NVWA.
Considerations
Checking a certain proportion of the money to be paid out is common and often mandatory. It is desirable to designate the companies to be selected by an automated system. This algorithm is created to eliminate human randomness.
Human intervention
The algorithm determines which farm/parcel/landscape element qualifies for a check. Setting out and carrying out the checks is done by an employee and partly outsourced to other services (NVWA/NEO).
Risk management
We apply the four-eye principle to every sample. Furthermore, we carry out standard quality checks. In addition, the sample population is checked by other departments. This checks whether the selection is still correct, whether different groups do not receive different treatment. There is also a check on correct disbursement.

Elaboration on impact assessments
We share personal data only with NVWA, agreements have been made about this in the Cooperation Agreement Data Supplies RVO-NVWA. We do not share personal data with other external companies.

Technical design
From the compiled population, the algorithm assigns each application a random number. After this, based on the order of these random numbers, the algorithm determines whether the application is eligible for verification or not.
The algorithm is not self-learning.
RAND function of SAS is used. It is explained in the following place: https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/default/lefunctionsref/p0fpeei0opypg8n1b06qe4r040lv.htm
