The Department requires that all applications include a Consent of Audit signed by the applicant organisation/body to verify receipt and correct use of funds.
- All applications will be audited by Trust Aoraki Limited. There will be a request for invoices and receipts to support quotations submitted with applications. If there is a change of circumstances or costs, this office should be notified in writing and approval sought for any proposed re-allocation of funds.
- In the event that adequate audit documentation for a grant cannot be obtained, actual costs are less than those indicated in the application, funds are spent other than for the approved Authorised Purpose, there is any other irregularity in the donation process or the applicant has received funding from another source for the same purpose, then Trust Aoraki Limited is required to obtain a refund of the grant.
