4. 4 The IQR team role  Essentially, the IQR team will complete a review of the project documents provided by the Member State to ensure that the requirements of the Delegated Act have been checked and state whether the project complies with the requirements of the Act.  To do this we will expect to see  As a first option a JASPERS Completion Note  Evidence of early involvement of the Beneficiary/MA in clearing up any queries if they believe there is lack of clarity in the regulations. JASPERS Advisory assistance is often available for this.  Clear evidence to allow us to complete a yes/no format.
