I assume responsibility for managing these funds in accordance with SPA Program guidelines, and for obtaining the necessary original invoices and receipts for all purchases or expenditures made in connection with this SPA Project.

To the extent possible, all purchases and payments drawn against the SPA Project will be made by check ordered through Peace Corps/Ghana. To decrease my own personal liability, I will work closely with my community group or counterpart organization to establish a funds management system and/or community or Project bank account and, when possible, utilize account-to-account transfers for major purchases. For any and all transfer of grant funds to my community or counterpart organization, I will obtain a signed, dated, and witnessed receipt, and record the transfer on the SPA Project Log. I understand that any loss of SPA grant funds under my control, due to negligence on my part in not following these stated requirements, may result in me being held accountable to repay all, or a portion, of the funds. I further understand that my liability with respect to this Project is limited to the management of funds secured through this SPA Project grant.
