Is it time to conclude the project?

When the project reaches its end, you apply for the final payment and report on the project. Running a project can be intense, but one tip is to pause and reflect on the experiences and results that the work has generated.

What is a final report?

When your project is completed and all expenses are paid, it is time to apply for the final payment.

Remember that the application must be submitted before the project's end date!

Note that the last 20% of the project support will not be paid out until the Swedish Board of Agriculture has approved the final report.

Tips!

The final report should be understandable without having read previous information about the project. In the report, you should account for the project's subject, execution, and the reasons for the results.

Keep in mind that it may also be interesting to report any deviations and experiences.

Here’s how to report

To apply for the final payment, log in just as you did when you submitted the application, with your bank ID on My Pages at the Swedish Board of Agriculture's website.

När du är inloggad, klicka dig vidare genom: ”Till e-tjänsterna” → ”Gå till e-tjästen”. Välj sedan ”Ansökan om utbetalning” → ”Slututbetalning”.

The final report looks the same as a partial report, but it contains more questions about the project and its results. The costs are reported in the same way, however.

Remember to check the checklist when applying for payment!

Tips before final reporting

Plan the work on the final report well in advance
(it takes time to finalize the report, so do it well before the end date)

Start by reading through the project plan/application for project support
The final report should relate to the project plan/application for project support and should reflect the outcome of what was planned in connection with the project start. The project application should also indicate how you planned to evaluate the project.

If you have had an employed project manager in the project, it may be valuable to involve them in the final reporting. Otherwise, we at the development office are also available if you wish for support in the work.
