IV. the court’s findings relate to an audit carried out at the commission and in six participating countries selected for the audit. since leonardo is one of four education and training programmes included in the commission’s lifelong learning programme, many audit findings have relevance that extend to the other lifelong learning programme schemes. the court found that: — In designing the current leonardo da vinci programme (2007–13), the commission took account of its own mandatory evaluations of the predecessor programme, but did not systematically take account of other important studies and reports. — the commission established an appropriate project life cycle management system for leonardo, but the supporting It system had some significant omissions. — the operational elements of the programme, including publicity and promotion of the programme and the annual programming cycle, were generally well managed, but the commission did not address the difficulties of applicants in finding partners and did not ensure the quality of national agencies’ assessments of grant applications. — a system of reporting is in place but it does not yet enable the commission to measure the results and effects of the programme. there are shortcomings in the system for reporting on the results and effects of the leonardo programme. the commission had started but not yet completed the establishment of a comprehensive system for the measurement of the impact of leonardo by the third year of the programme. eXecutIve summary — controls at national agency level complied with commission guidance. — there are weaknesses in the way national authorities carry out their secondary controls of national agencies. — the overall conclusion is that the design and management of the mobility scheme of the leonardo da vinci programme could lead to effective results. the commission had started but not yet completed the establishment of a comprehensive system for the measurement of the impact of leonardo. as a result, the commission cannot yet assess how the objectives are being met three years into the programme — around half of its lifespan. 
Zistenia Dvora audítorov vychádzajú z auditu vykonaného v Komisii a šiestich zúčastnených krajinách vybraných na tento audit. Keďže je leonardo jeden zo štyroch programov odborného vzdelávania a prípravy zaradených do programu Komisie pre celoživotné vzdelávanie, mnohé zistenia z tohto auditu sú relevantné aj pre iné programy celoživotného vzdelávania. Dvor audítorov zistil, že: - pri návrhu súčasného programu leonardo da Vinci (2007 – 2013) Komisia zohľadnila svoje vlastné povinné hodnotenia predchádzajúceho programu, avšak nie ostatné dôležité štúdie a správy; - Komisia zaviedla primeraný systém riadenia projektového cyklu pre program leonardo, avšak podporný informačný systém mal niekoľko významných nedostatkov; - operačné zložky programu, ako napr. uverejňovanie a propagácia programu a cyklus ročného plánovania, boli vo všeobecnosti riadené dobre, Komisia však neriešila ťažkosti účastníkov nájsť si hosťujúcich partnerov a nezabezpečila kvalitu hodnotení žiadostí o grant národnými agentúrami; - systém podávania správ je zavedený, zatiaľ však Komisii neumožňuje merať výsledky a účinky programu.
