SAO AUDIT A. The state auditor may conduct an audit or investigation of any entity receiving funds from the state directly under the Contract or indirectly through a subcontract under the Contract. The acceptance of funds directly under the Contract or indirectly through a subcontract under the Contract acts as acceptance of the authority of the state auditor, under the direction of the legislative audit committee, to conduct an audit or investigation in connection with those funds. Under the direction of the legislative audit committee, an entity that is the subject of an audit or investigation by the state auditor must provide the state auditor with access to any information the state auditor considers relevant to the investigation or audit. B. Grantee shall comply with any rules and procedures of the state auditor in the implementation and enforcement of Section 2262.154 of the Texas Government Code.
Records; Audit Purchaser will, and will cause its Affiliates to, keep and maintain for [***] years after the relevant calendar quarter complete and accurate books and records in sufficient detail so that Net Sales and payments made hereunder can be properly calculated. No more frequently than once during each calendar year during the Term and once during the [***] year period thereafter, Purchaser will permit independent third-party auditors appointed by Spectrum or Bayer (the party requesting an audit, the “Auditing Party”) and with at least [***] days advance notice at any time during normal business hours, accompanied at all times, to inspect, audit and copy reasonable amounts of relevant accounts and records of Purchaser and its Affiliates and reports submitted to Purchaser and its Affiliates pertaining to a Payment Period that is not earlier than [***] months from the date of conclusion of the audit, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the calculation of payments to Spectrum pursuant to this Article 4. The accounts, records and reports related to any particular period of time may only be audited one time under this Section 4.5. The Auditing Party will cause their independent third-party auditors not to provide the Auditing Party with any copies of such accounts, records or reports and not to disclose to the Auditing Party any information other than information relating solely to the accuracy of the accounting and payments made by Purchaser pursuant to this Article 4. The Auditing Party will cause its independent third-party auditors to promptly provide a copy of their report to Purchaser. If such audit determines that payments are due to Spectrum, Purchaser will pay to Spectrum any such additional amounts within [***] Business Days after the date on which such auditor’s written report is delivered to Purchaser and the Auditing Party, unless such audit report is disputed by Purchaser, in which case the dispute will be resolved in accordance with Section 16.10. If such audit determines that Purchaser has overpaid any amounts to Spectrum, Spectrum will refund any such overpaid amounts to Purchaser within [***] Business Days after the date on which such auditor’s written report is delivered to Purchaser and the Auditing Party. Any such inspection of records will be at Spectrum’s expense unless such audit discloses a deficiency in the payments made by Purchaser (whether for itself or on behalf of its Affiliates) of more than [***] percent ([***]%) of the aggregate amount payable for the relevant period, in which case Purchaser will bear the cost of such audit. Each of the parties agrees that all information subject to review under this Section 4.5 is Purchaser’s Confidential Information that is subject to Spectrum’s confidentiality and non-use obligations under Section 9.5.2, and the Auditing Party agrees that it will cause its independent third-party auditors to also retain all such information subject to the non-disclosure and non-use restrictions of Section 9.5.2 or similar (but no less stringent) obligations of confidentiality and non-use customary in the accounting industry.
Inspection & Audit Contractor agrees that the relevant books, records (written, electronic, computer related or otherwise), including, without limitation, relevant accounting procedures and practices of Contractor or its subcontractors, financial statements and supporting documentation, and documentation related to the work product shall be subject, at any reasonable time, to inspection, examination, review, audit, and copying at any office or location of Contractor where such records may be found, with or without notice by the City, and with regard to any federal funding, the relevant federal agency, the Comptroller General, the General Accounting Office, the Office of the Inspector General, or any of their authorized representatives. All subcontracts shall reflect the requirements of this paragraph.
PRICING/AUDIT The Contractor shall establish and maintain a reasonable accounting system, which enables ready identification of Contractor’s cost of goods and use of funds. Such accounting system shall also include adequate records and documents to justify all prices for all items invoiced as well as all charges, expenses and costs incurred in providing the goods for at least five (5) years after completion of this contract. The County or its designee shall have access to such books, records, subcontract(s), financial operations, and documents of the Contractor or its subcontractors, as required to comply with this section for the purpose of inspection or audit anytime during normal business hours at the Contractor's place of business. This right to audit shall include the Contractor’s subcontractors used to procure goods under the contract with the County. Contractor shall ensure the County has these same rights with subcontractors and suppliers.
Cost of Audits Customer shall bear the costs of any audit unless such audit reveals a material breach by SAP of this DPA, then SAP shall bear its own expenses of an audit. If an audit determines that SAP has breached its obligations under the DPA, SAP will promptly remedy the breach at its own cost.
Records; Audits Merck will keep, and will cause each of the other Selling Parties, as applicable, to keep, and Moderna will keep, adequate books and records of accounting for the purpose of calculating all royalties and other amounts payable by either Party to the other Party hereunder and ensuring each Party’s compliance hereunder. For the [***] following the end of the Calendar Year to which each will pertain, such books and records of accounting (including those of its Affiliates, as applicable) will be kept at each of their principal place of business. At the request of either Party, the other Party will permit (and procure its Affiliates, to permit) an independent certified public accounting firm of internationally recognized standing selected by the auditing Party and reasonably acceptable to the other Party to have access during normal business hours to such of the records as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the payments due hereunder for any Calendar Year ending not more than [***] following the end of any Calendar Year. Such examinations may not be conducted more than once in any Calendar Year or be repeated for any Calendar Year. The accounting firm shall disclose to the auditing Party only whether the reports are correct or incorrect and the amount of any discrepancy. No other Confidential Information shall be provided. If such accounting firm correctly identifies a discrepancy made during such period, the appropriate Party shall pay the other Party the amount of the discrepancy within [***] of the date of delivery of such accounting firm’s written report so correctly concluding, or as otherwise agreed upon by the Parties. The fees charged by such accounting firm shall be paid by the auditing Party, provided that if the underpayment or overcharge exceeds [***], the audited Party shall pay the fees. Upon the expiration of [***] following the end of any Calendar Year, absent willful misconduct or fraud by a Party (its Affiliates, as applicable) the calculation of amounts payable with respect to such Calendar Year shall be binding and conclusive upon the Parties, and the Parties shall be released from any liability or accountability with respect to amounts payable for such Calendar Year. The auditing Party shall treat all financial information subject to review under this Section 8.6(c) in accordance with the confidentiality and non-use provisions of this Agreement, and shall cause its accounting firm to enter into an acceptable confidentiality agreement with the audited Party obligating it to retain all such Confidential Information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement.
Payment Audit Records of costs incurred under terms of the Contract will be maintained in accordance with section 8.3 of these Special Contract Conditions. Records of costs incurred will include the Contractor’s general accounting records, together with supporting documents and records of the Contractor and all subcontractors performing work, and all other records of the Contractor and subcontractors considered necessary by the Department, the State of Florida’s Chief Financial Officer, or the Office of the Auditor General.
Independent Audit The Grantee shall submit, in a format specified by the department, the independent financial compliance audit prepared by an independent Certified Public Accountant for the previous fiscal year. The audit shall follow the General Grant Requirements of Sections VIII (F) and (G) and be submitted no later than March 1 of the current fiscal year.
Field Audits The Agent has the right at any time and in its discretion to conduct field audits with respect to the Collateral and each Borrower’s Receivables, inventory, business and operations. All field audits shall be at the cost and expense of the Borrowers; it being understood and agreed that, in the absence of an Event of Default, the Borrowers’ maximum liability for field audit costs and expenses shall be limited to the reasonable costs and expenses of only two (2) field audits conducted during any twelve (12) month period (unless the Agent shall conduct a field audit pursuant to Section 1.10 of this Agreement in connection with the joinder of a new “Borrower” hereunder, in which event the Borrowers shall be liable for the costs and expenses of such field audit as well). Any and all field audits conducted following an Event of Default shall be at the Borrowers’ cost and expense, with the foregoing limitation on maximum costs and expense being inapplicable.
Auditor Report; Right to Audit (a) Within the time period permitted for the examination audit pursuant to 12 CFR Section 363 after the end of each fiscal year during which the Receiver makes any payment to the Assuming Institution under this Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement, the Assuming Institution shall deliver to the Receiver a report signed by its independent public accountants stating that they have reviewed the terms of this Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement and that, in the course of their annual audit of the Assuming Institution’s books and records, nothing has come to their attention suggesting that any computations required to be made by the Assuming Institution during such fiscal year pursuant to this Article II were not made by the Assuming Institution in accordance herewith. In the event that the Assuming Institution cannot comply with the preceding sentence, it shall promptly submit to the Receiver corrected computations together with a report signed by its independent public accountants stating that, after giving effect to such corrected computations, nothing has come to their attention suggesting that any computations required to be made by the Assuming Institution during such year pursuant to this Article II were not made by the Assuming Institution in accordance herewith. In such event, the Assuming Institution and the Receiver shall make all such accounting adjustments and payments as may be necessary to give effect to each correction reflected in such corrected computations, retroactive to the date on which the corresponding incorrect computation was made. (b) The Assuming Institution shall perform on an annual basis an internal audit of its compliance with the provisions of this Article II and shall provide the Receiver and the Corporation with copies of the internal audit reports and access to internal audit workpapers related to such internal audit. (c) The Receiver or the FDIC in its corporate capacity (“Corporation”), its contractors and their employees, and its agents may perform an audit or audits to determine the Assuming Institution’s compliance with the provisions of this Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement, including this Article II, by providing not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice. Assuming Institution shall provide access to pertinent records and proximate working space in Assuming Institution’s facilities. The scope and duration of any such audit shall be within the reasonable discretion of the Receiver or the Corporation, but shall in no event be administered in a manner that unreasonably interferes with the operation of the Assuming Institution’s business. The Receiver or the Corporation, as the case may be, shall bear the expense of any such audit. In the event that any corrections are necessary as a result of such an audit or audits, the Assuming Institution and the Receiver shall make such accounting adjustments and payments as may be necessary to give retroactive effect to such corrections.
