Both types of matching funds expended shall be accounted for on the monthly certified invoices.

Fraud, Waste and Abuse: The grantee, including its employees, contractors, agents, interns, or any subrecipients, shall report suspected fraud, waste and abuse activities related to any state employee, vendor or sub recipient of state funds or state resources. There are three methods for reporting suspected fraud, waste or abuse (FWA). Grantee can report suspected FWA directly to the Agency’s Audit Services Division, to any member of the Agency’s management team or through the FWA reporting website below. N.C.G.S. 143-748 permits Audit Services to treat all information as confidential. However, if an individual wishes to remain anonymous, reports can be submitted through the FWA reporting website: https://www.ncagr.gov/internalaudit/ReportForm.htm Under no circumstances should an individual attempt to personally conduct investigations or interviews /interrogations related to any suspected FWA act. Investigation results will not be disclosed or discussed with anyone other than those who have a legitimate need to know. This is important to avoid damaging the reputations of persons suspected but subsequently found innocent of wrongful conduct. It is the Agency’s policy that employees/contractors/sub recipients/interns will not suffer retaliation or harassment for reporting in good faith any FWA concerns. The Agency encourages openness and will support anyone who raises genuine concerns in good faith under this policy, even if they turn out to be unsubstantiated. XI.
