NICOLAE Ciprian FAMP
QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE RISKS IDENTIFIED IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THE NON-
CCASP
REIMBURSABLE FUNDS IN ROMANIA IN 2007-2013

corrections and program suspensions Romania suffered in the 2007-2013 financial period are due to
procurement related problems.

The fifth finding of the analysis is that the coverage of the Project Cycle Management phases (European
PROCEEDINGS OF THE 11 TH ADMINISTRATION AND PUBLIC MANAGEMENT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
Commission, 2004) is unbalanced, more that 80% of the risks (412) in the risk registers referring to phase
4 – Implementation.

Although there is logic that the risks related to implementation of programs and projects be in majority,

the distribution of the risks identified by the responsible authorities/institutions shows that the accent is on
doing, rather than on planning, organizing or controlling.

Even in the implementation phase some risks are not included in the risk registers. For example, there is
no mentioning of the risks related to equal opportunities and sustainable development, although these
are transversal principles provided by the European regulations on structural and cohesion funds

accession.

5. THE RELATION BETWEEN RISK MANAGEMENT OF THE NON-REIMBURSABLE FUNDS
AND THE STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT FOR LOCAL COMMUNITIES

Some authors (Didraga, 2013) consider risk management as being the most important instrument a

manager can use for increasing the success of a project.
