Background, Scope and Methodology Background Sample Clauses

Background, Scope and Methodology Background. The micro assessment is part of the requirements under the Harmonized Approach to Cash Transfers (HACT) Framework. The HACT framework represents a common operational framework for UN agencies’ transfer of cash to government and non-governmental implementing partners. The micro-assessment assesses the IP/RP’s control framework. It results in a risk rating (low, moderate, significant or high). The overall risk rating is used by the UN agencies, along with other available information (e.g. history of engagement with the agency and previous assurance results), to determine the type and frequency of assurance activities as per each agency’s guideline and can be taken into consideration when selecting the appropriate cash transfer modality for an IP/RP. Scope The micro-assessment provides an overall assessment of the Implementing Partner’s programme, financial and operations management policies, procedures, systems and internal controls. It includes: • A review of the IP/RP legal status, governance structures and financial viability; programme management, organizational structure and staffing, accounting policies and procedures, fixed assets and inventory, financial reporting and monitoring, and procurement; • A focus on compliance with policies, procedures, regulations and institutional arrangements that are issued both by the Government and the Implementing Partner. It takes into account results of any previous micro assessments conducted of the Implementing Partner. Methodology We performed the micro-assessment from [date] to [date] at [describe locations]. Through discussion with management, observation and walk-through tests of transactions, we have assessed the Implementing Partner’s and the related internal control system with emphasis on: • The effectiveness of the systems in providing the Implementing Partner’s management with accurate and timely information for management of funds and assets in accordance with work plans and agreements with the United Nations agencies; • The general effectiveness of the internal control system in protecting the assets and resources of the Implementing Partner. We discussed the results of the micro assessment with applicable UN agency personnel and the IP/RP prior to finalization of the report.
