(*) Proimágenes support in analyzing preliminary figures
- Application stage: Acreditación del proyecto FFC
Once the minimum expenditure in the country has been made and the requirements and procedures indicated have been met, a single transfer of the FFC consideration is made.
In projects that include Production and Post-production components, two transfers may be made:
- One at the end of production, provided that the minimum expenditure has been met
- Another upon completion of post-production.
To this end, Proimágenes offers support in the analysis of preliminary figures, following the procedure described below:
- The producer sends the annexes issued by the trustee and the project’s auditing firm to Proimágenes.
- Proimágenes suggests updates or additions to the information in accordance with the Resources Allocation Manual (MAR) and previously agreed procedures.
- The project’s fiduciary entity and auditing firm stabilize the figures.
- The producer sends the updated annexes to Proimágenes.
- The process moves on to the certification stage.
*This is not a mandatory step, but it is recommended in order to avoid issuing certifications with incorrect values.
Remember that...
- At the end of the execution period, the producer has a maximum of three (3) months to prove the expense.
- They must appoint a financial manager to handle the relationship with the trust and keep the file available for audit.
- Invoices and supporting documents must comply with all tax requirements in force in Colombia.
Frequently asked questions
How far in advance must the annexes from the trust company and auditing firm be sent?
To avoid reprocessing during the certification submission stage, the producer may send the attachments at least two (2) months before the expiration date to prove the expenses. If this deadline is not met, the producer must send the attachments and certifications in a single delivery.
Who validates the final figures?
The project’s auditing firm, based on the analysis of preliminary figures and suggestions made by Proimágenes.
