Common use of Responsibility and Accountability Clause in Contracts

Responsibility and Accountability. IPSA holders like all other UNDP personnel are accountable to the Administrator for the regularity of actions undertaken by them in the course of official duties. IPSA Holders involved in any action that is contrary to the Financial Regulations and Rules, or to organizational policies, or other prescriptive guidance (i.e., the ▇▇▇▇) may be held personally responsible and financially liable for the consequences arising therefrom. Responsibility for the correct and effective application and proper management of the IPSA policy and procedures, as well as the creation, issuance and management of individual IPSAs, is distributed to various roles in the organization, subject to oversight by BMS/OHR. Responsibilities and roles are described in section 34 in this policy. UNDP, as the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and utilization of public funds in its operations and administration, must use due care to ensure funds are utilized only for their intended purpose. Individuals holding a Delegation of Authority must be particularly careful to ensure actions undertaken by themselves or persons under their supervision are in compliance with the Financial Regulations and Rules, Programme and Operations Policies and Procedures (▇▇▇▇), organizational directives, policies and prescriptive guidance applicable to UNDP. Persons with delegated authority will be held accountable for the regularity of their actions relating to management of IPSAs in their respective business unit.
