We are able to spend a considerable amount of time with grantees and see first-hand how the funds are used. In addition, we require grantees to provide both financial and narrative reports on the use of the funds on at least an annual basis.
Part I, line 3: Foreign expenditures are accounted for according to the accrual basis of accounting using expense reports, grant feedback, and other appropriate documentation.
Part III, Col (c): The estimated number of recipients is determined using missionary expense reports that provide the approximate number of persons helped.
