Compliance 101 for development initiatives

Context

Once an agreement is signed between 抖淫视频 (GAC) and a partner organization for a development grant or contribution, the recipient organization must adhere to several financial clauses and administrative requirements.

Purpose

Since financial documentation contained in these agreements is often long and complex, GAC's Financial Compliance Unit (FCU) has come up with a simple way to convey the information and its underlying intent.

Below you will find links to animated YouTube videos that will help you understand certain requirements in your grant or contribution agreement. These videos are intended to:

• create awareness and inform partner organizations about GAC's financial clauses and administrative requirements
• avoid the need for future adjustments in the event of a compliance audit
