Interestingly, I was looking at the audit numbers earlier. Here's the latest 'in brief' report -
https://www.eca.europa.eu/Lists/ECAD...ef-2016-EN.pdf . The error rate was 3.1% in 2016 which is above the 2% threshold. It is going in the right direction though;
2016 - 3.1%
2015 - 3.8%
2016 - 4.4%
Direct payments and administration are below the material threshold at 1.3% while reimbursements are at 4.8%. This is partly why the EU anti fraud agency is busy! Unfortunately, the biggest fraud so far was by the UK at €2.7bn...
