Annex III TERMS OF REFERENCE A. Background UNDP is the UN’s global development network. In Cambodia, UNDP supports government and communities to further their own solutions to the challenges of development. The overarching aim of UNDP’s work is supporting progress towards the Cambodia Millennium Development Goals. Specifically, UNDP aims to enhance government’s ability to deliver public services to the population in an efficient, effective, equitable and accountable manner, to consolidate a participative democracy with a responsible civil society and to create an enabling environment for inclusive growth, private sector development and sustainable use of natural resources. UNDP works in three critical challenge areas which include: (i) the diversification of growth and the translation of growth into the reduction of poverty and inequalities in rural areas; (ii) sustainable and participative management of natural resources that represent primary assets for the poor (including oil and gas, arable land, forestry and fisheries) and (iii) strengthening participative democracy and good governance. All of UNDP’s activities are done in close collaboration with the Government, other UN agencies and development stakeholders and are delivered through nationally implemented (<strong>NIM</strong>) projects. Under <strong>NIM</strong> arrangement, a Cambodian government entity or Cambodia-based nongovernment organization is given the responsibility of implementing project activities as contained in approved Annual Workplans (AWPs) to achieve outputs and contribute to outcomes indicated in signed project documents. The project documents and the AWPs serve as the legal instruments for the provision of UNDP assistance in Cambodia, with the latter enabling the disbursement of funds to obtain project inputs. The project documents designate the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) and the implementing partner (government or non government) as accountable in ensuring that the funds are used solely for the purpose for which the funds are intended. Quarterly progress reports are submitted by the implementing partner to UNDP together with the Financial Authorization and Certification of Expenditure (FACE) form to report on the progress of the project. The implementing partner maintains a record or receipts and expenses and uses this as basis for preparing the quarterly FACE. It also maintains project files containing project- related documentation. Furthermore, IP are responsible for managing and securing project assets and maintaining a roster of the same. UNDP provides oversight to the projects throughout the stages of planning, implementation and monitoring. It authorizes disbursement of funds, examines expenditure reports and either rejects or accepts expenditure items. In some cases, UNDP or other UN agencies may also provide support services to the project or implement specific activities as agreed upon with the IP. Direct agency disbursements are made against the project budget. These direct agency disbursements are not included in the audit scope. A combined delivery report, containing both IP and agency expenditures, is generated and sent to the IP for validation and signature at least twice a year. This serves as the financial statements which are the subject of the audit.
The list of projects identified for auditing is as the following: Please note that the list is not exhaustive and could be extended or amended at any time during the course of the contract. B.
