About EFPC

EFPC was formed by the amalgamation of two organisations, one, specialised in Framework Program technical aspects and the other had experts in Framework Program financial aspects. During the Framework Program Five, they each had found themselves referring their clients to each other. It was clear that the two sides were extremely complementary and worked well together. Thus “EFPC” was born. We are unique in that we believe we are the only company working purely in the Framework Program and combining both skill sets.

Many “Technical Consultants” try and give “Financial Consultancy” i.e. assistance with Cost Statements etc. In our experience, this has lead to many major problems for the client. It is extremely import that the people giving financial information, are familiar with the Framework Program financial guidelines.

In reality there are two EFPC legal entities. EFPC Ltd is based in Israel and EFPC (UK) Ltd is based in Scotland. The financial and training services are run from the Israeli company. In particular EFPC operates and supports the Finance Helpdesk (www.finance-helpdesk.org)

EFPC is associated with two accounting organisations in Israel; VBIR CPAs in Tel Aviv and Aboulafia CPAs in Jerusalem. In the UK EFPC works with WDM Chartered Accountants of Motherwell.

EFPC Research participates in FP research projects and contributes both technically as well as administratively as required.
