Settlement of subsidies from the Polish Film Institute

My name is Grzegorz Gortych, and I lead a team of specialists at Wiol, an accounting firm that has been supporting entrepreneurs in effective financial management for years. We pay particular attention to the settlement of funding from the Polish Film Institute (PISF), offering comprehensive accounting services tailored to the needs of the creative industry.

I earned my education at leading Polish universities, such as the University of Mercantile Studies in Łódź, the University of Łódź, and the Warsaw School of Economics, where I specialized in accounting law and commercial accounting. I supplement this with regular training in tax law, tax schemes, financial reporting, and social security (ZUS) settlements. This versatility allows me to provide services that are compliant with the latest legal regulations and industry standards.

Working with my team, you can count on complete transparency, timeliness, and a personalized approach to each project. Particularly important when settling PISF funding is ensuring full compliance with formal requirements and ensuring precise documentation, which eliminates the risk of inaccuracies and allows you to maximize the use of available funds.

Settling accounts with the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (PISF) can be challenging, but our knowledge and experience make it simpler and less time-consuming. Our goal is to support your success, saving you time and allowing you to focus on building and growing your business.

Please contact us – together we will ensure financial stability and professional accounting services that will help you develop your business without unnecessary formalities.

What documents are needed to settle PISF funding?

Answer: To settle PISF funding, it is necessary to provide complete project accounting documentation, including invoices, contracts, cost reports, and other documents confirming incurred expenses. It is crucial that all documents comply with PISF guidelines.

Is it possible to settle expenses not planned in the project budget?

Answer: Expenditures not planned in the original budget may be settled only in exceptional circumstances and after prior approval by the Polish Film Institute. It is important that any budget changes are documented and justified.

How long does the funding settlement process take?

Answer: The duration of the process depends on the completeness of the documents and the complexity of the project. It typically involves several stages, including documentation preparation, review, and final approval by the Polish Film Institute.

Can I settle the funding myself, or do I need specialist help?

Answer: You can attempt to settle the subsidy yourself, but due to the complex formal and legal requirements, it’s advisable to seek specialist assistance. Professional support minimizes the risk of errors and speeds up the process.

What happens if I make a mistake in my billing?

Errors in settlements may result in the need to correct documentation, delays in settlement approval, and, in extreme cases, the need to return the subsidy. Therefore, it’s important to ensure accuracy and compliance with guidelines.

Can I include the remuneration of collaborators in the project costs?

Answer: Yes, employee salaries can be included in project costs, provided they are in line with the budget and properly documented in contracts and payrolls.

Does PISF require keeping special accounting records for the project?

Answer: Yes, the Polish Institute of Financial Sciences (PISF) requires detailed accounting records for each project, which allows for easy monitoring of expenditures and compliance with budget. These records must be aligned with the institution’s guidelines.

What are the most common mistakes when settling subsidies?

Answer: The most common errors include document discrepancies, missing required attachments, incorrectly issued invoices, and failure to meet deadlines set by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority. Careful documentation review helps avoid such problems.

Can I change the project implementation dates after receiving funding?

Answer: Changes to project implementation deadlines are possible, but require the consent of the Polish Film Institute. Appropriate applications, along with justification, must be submitted and the institution’s decision awaited.

Can I benefit from funding in subsequent editions if the current project has not yet been completed?

Answer: Yes, you can apply for further funding, even if your previous project hasn’t been fully funded yet. However, it’s important to demonstrate progress on your current project and submit appropriate reports to the Polish Film Institute.
