PROJEKT KONTROLLING a támogatások szolgálatában

Since our country’s accession to the European Union, we refer to project implementation when a (business) development activity is carried out using European Union funds and financial support. For the 2021–2027 period, Hungary has access to a cohesion fund budget of more than EUR 26,135.7 million, including national co-financing. The total amount of funding available to beneficiaries is approximately HUF 10,000 billion. However, for these available resources to truly contribute to Hungary’s economic and social development, numerous grant projects must be initiated and successfully implemented. The aim of this study is, on the one hand, to present the process, tools, and significance of project controlling through a case study—the implementation of the Supporting Youth Entrepreneurship in the Northern Great Plain Region project—highlighting the essential components of project success. On the other hand, it seeks to emphasize the role of project controlling in ensuring the efficient utilization of significant financial resources.
