ASSURANCE ACTIVITIES. The purpose of assurance activities is to determine whether the funds transferred to IPs were used for their intended purpose and in accordance with the work plan. Without appropriate completion of the assurance activities, the HACT framework would only serve as a mechanism for risk assessment/ identification, rather than a mechanism for risk management and mitigation. This would expose the United Nations to significant risk and audit findings. In this terms and reference, the components of financial assurance activities are: a. HACT audit: a systematic and independent examination of data, statements, records, operations and performance of an implementing partner carried out by an external service provider. b. Special audit: an audit performed when significant issues and concerns are identified during the programme cycle, often the result of findings of programmatic visits and spot checks.
