EU Fund Scandal in CECCAR: Misuse and Abuses of Power

According to recent reports, a whistleblower has shed light on serious allegations of misuse of power and unethical practices within CECCAR (The Body of Expert and Licensed Accountants of Romania). According to the source, the organization’s leadership has been accused of inappropriately accessing European Union funds, with serious implications for transparency and accountability. These funds, intended for specific purposes, were allegedly misused for private gain, without the necessary legal authorization or oversight.

Background on CECCAR and the European Project Funding Mechanism

The CECCAR is a national professional body that oversees the regulation of accountants in Romania. It also plays a crucial role in professional development and training. As part of its activities, CECCAR has had access to EU funding for various projects, aimed at enhancing the skills and capabilities of the accounting profession.

EU funds are supposed to be allocated for initiatives that align with the organization’s mission and legal obligations. However, recent claims have raised concerns about how these funds were managed, with particular focus on the selection of beneficiaries, misuse of resources, and lack of transparency.

The Allegations

According to the whistleblower, the CECCAR leadership, particularly Mr. Robert Aurelian Șova, allegedly exploited the human and material resources within the organization to secure EU-funded projects, without aligning them with the original legal purpose of the organization. More alarmingly, these projects were carried out without approval from the CECCAR National Conference, a legal prerequisite for such initiatives.

The whistleblower claims that CECCAR officials used organizational resources and funds to support EU projects, but that many of the expenses were not reimbursed by the relevant authorities. Additionally, these projects allegedly saw the selection of beneficiaries through a subjective, non-transparent process, which allegedly allowed Mr. Șova to exercise significant influence and control over the disbursement of funds.

The Specific EU Projects Under Scrutiny

The following EU-funded projects are being called into question for their legitimacy and transparency:

  1. SMIS Project Code 142636
  2. SMIS Project Code 142634
  3. SMIS Project Code 128516
  4. SMIS Project Code 128185
  5. Project Code 133224
  6. Project Code 133422
  7. Project Code 133488

These projects, the whistleblower claims, have no direct connection to the legal objectives of CECCAR and are, therefore, considered highly questionable.

Questions Raised

The key questions raised in this case are:

  • How were the beneficiaries of these EU funds selected?
  • Why were funds misallocated and not reimbursed by the relevant authorities?
  • Did the leadership of CECCAR violate the legal requirements outlined in OG no. 65/1994, the foundational law governing CECCAR’s activities?
  • How can we ensure transparency and accountability in the management of European funds?

The Need for an Investigation

Given the serious nature of these allegations, there is an urgent need for authorities to thoroughly investigate how these EU-funded projects were implemented, executed, and finalized. The whistleblower’s claims suggest that there may have been an abuse of power at the highest levels, with potentially far-reaching consequences for CECCAR’s credibility and the proper allocation of EU resources.

As the allegations continue to unfold, the public, the members of CECCAR, and, most importantly, the relevant authorities must demand full transparency and accountability. It is essential that a thorough investigation is carried out to uncover any wrongdoing and ensure that EU funds are being used for their intended purposes. Only through openness and strict oversight can Romania begin
