Neutrino oscillations at accelerators are of interest. I will review recent results of T2K and MINOS and discuss the way systematic errors and background were estimated. The main subject will be event generators which have an important role in these estimates. General properties of GENIE will be described. Validation and applications to oscillations will be emphasized.
