Grants awarded will be governed by a Grant Agreement that outlines the Council’s expectations and requirements for organisations accepting grant funding. The Grant Agreement will be provided to successful applicants following approval by the panel. Recipients of the funding must ensure they maintain accurate, accessible, and up-to-date accounting records with a clear audit trail. These records must be available for review by the East Riding Council, the Secretary of State, or an appropriately qualified auditor upon request.
If East Riding Council has reason to suspect any financial irregularity in the use of grant funds, an investigation will be conducted. For this purpose, ‘financial irregularity’ includes, but is not limited to:
● Fraud or other misconduct.
● Mismanagement of funds.
● Use of the grant for purposes other than those specified in the Grant Agreement.
Maintaining financial transparency and adhering to the terms of the Grant Agreement is essential to ensure compliance and the proper use of public funds.
