Goal and impact
The aim is to gain insight into legitimate use of public funds and reduce risks of their possible misuse and improper use. Auditing grant applicants seeks to prevent public funds from being provided to grant applicants who are not entitled to them. The process contributes to a careful and accountable grant-making process.
Considerations
The check ensures that grant applicants can be checked quickly and efficiently. After the check, another check and consideration by a grant officer always takes place when deciding whether or not to award grant funds.
Human intervention
Depending on the outcome of the audit, the grant officer always decides whether any follow-up steps in the grant process should be taken. For example, whether further questions should be put to grant applicants. There is no automated decision-making.
Risk management
Possible risk is that the data in the M&O register and the bankruptcy register has not been updated during the audit. To prevent this, this is checked in advance.
Legal basis
DUS-I must ensure that grant applicants are entitled to public funds. The audit conducted is a tool to support this part of the grant process. See:
- https://www.dus-i.nl/subsidieproces; the end of the public page states what exactly is checked.
- https://www.dus-i.nl/misbruik-en-oneigenlijk-gebruik/mo-register; this includes when registration in the M&O register takes place, and who and what is registered in the M&O register.

Data
The name and Chamber of Commerce number of grant applicants to the submitted grant applications, Chamber of Commerce numbers of grant applicants from the M&O register and Chamber of Commerce numbers from the bankruptcy register.
Links to data sources
Technical design
The data analyst uses a code to check whether the grant applicant's Chamber of Commerce number provided with the grant application is included in the M&O register and the bankruptcy register.
