MONEY IS SENT AT THE APPROPRIATE TIMES FOR SERVICE-SCHOLARSHIPS AND CHRISTMAS. THERE MIGHT BE ADDITIONAL RESTRICTED FUNDS SENT AS UNBOUND GRANTS OR BECAUSE OF SPONSORS' EXTRA DONATIONS FOR SPECIFIC FAMILY OR PROJECT NEEDS BEYOND WHAT THE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM COVERS. UNBOUND MONITORS THE PROJECTS' USE OF THESE FUNDS IN A VARIETY OF WAYS. PROJECTS ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE MONTHLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO UNBOUND'S OFFICE IN KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, INCLUDING: A. TRANSACTION-LEVEL FINANCIAL DETAIL B. PROJECT BANK STATEMENTS AND BANK RECONCILIATIONS C.

ANY OTHER FINANCIAL REPORTS FILED WITH THEIR GOVERNMENTS FOR SPECIAL MONEY GIFTS OVER $100, PROJECTS ARE REQUIRED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE EXPENDITURES TO THE DONORS. THERE ARE FIVE REGIONAL ACCOUNTANTS IN THE INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS DEPARTMENT AT UNBOUND. EACH HAS RESPONSIBILITY FOR A NUMBER OF PROJECTS, AND REVIEWS THE MONTHLY TRANSACTIONS AND REPORTS ON A REGULAR BASIS FOR TIMELINESS, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, AND COMPLIANCE WITH UNBOUND FINANCIAL AND PROGRAM POLICY. REGULAR FEEDBACK IS GIVEN TO THE PROJECTS. STAFF REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE UNBOUND HEADQUARTERS OFFICE VISIT EACH PROJECT AT LEAST ONCE PER YEAR TO ASSSESS PROGRAM AND ADMINISTRATIVE PERFORMANCE, VISIT PROGRAM BENEFICIARIES IN THEIR HOMES, AND PROVIDE SUPPORT AND TRAINING TO PROJECT TEAMS. FORMAL PERFORMANCE AUDITS ARE PERFORMED PERIODICALLY, TYPICALLY ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS. IN ADDITION, THE UNBOUND FINANCE DEPARTMENT HAS A TEAM OF INTERNAL AUDITORS WHO REGULARLY AUDIT THE PROJECTS' INTERNAL CONTROLS, PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES, AND THE ACCURACY OF THEIR RECORDKEEPING. THEY HAVE ESTABLISHED A SCHEDULE FOR AUDITING EACH PROJECT ON A REGULAR BASIS.
