Your state aid challenges
As an MNE you will need to be in control of potential state aid risks. There are potentially a number of challenges for you to consider, including:
- How do you respond to the auditor if asked whether your group is exposed to state aid risks?
- Do you need to take measures to identify, quantify, control or reduce risks from previous years, and what are the consequences of these measures for you.
- If a state aid risk exists, what must be disclosed in your financial statements?
- How can you prepare for a state aid investigation?
