ReturnReference Explanation
Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds Sub-grantees are selected either through a request for application process or included in program proposal designed based on the sub-grantees technical merits and cost criteria included in the program description. All sub-recipients are issued a sub-grant agreement which outlines the approved budget, reporting requirements and relevant regulations. Prior to issuing a sub-grant agreement, the frequency of financial and programmatic reporting and level of supporting documentation to submit is determined, depending on the size and sophistication of the sub-grant/sub-recipient and their experience with prime donor funding. The finance department will review the financial reports against the approved budget and regulation to confirm that expenditures are allowable Generally, for smaller, first time recipients, copies or originals of supporting documentation are submitted and reviewed in-country by the finance department. For mid-size sub-grants familiar with MC and donor requirements, managers will do periodic site visit to audit the supporting documents against the financial reports. For larger sub-grants, mostly other US-based organizations, finance managers review their A-133 audits and retain the right to access their financial records. The financial report must then be reviewed by the department responsible for the programmatic aspects of the sub-recipient to ensure that the sub-recipient is performing the activities per the sub-grant agreement.
