This report presents the results of our annual audit of the EU agencies and other EU bodies (collectively referred to as 'the agencies') for the 2021 financial year, as well as additional agency-related audit results from other tasks such as special audits or opinions. In this report, for simplification, we refer to the agencies using their acronyms instead of their full names. A list of all agencies and their acronyms is provided at the beginning of this report. The report is structured as follows. Chapter 1 describes the agencies and the nature of our audits. Chapter 2 presents the overall results of our annual audit and makes reference to other agency-related audit results and opinions. Chapter 3 contains the statement of assurance for each of the 44 agencies, together with our opinions and observations on the reliability of the agencies' accounts and on the legality and regularity of the underlying revenue and payments, together with matters and observations not calling these opinions into question.
