Financial Monitoring Checklist for partner visists have been developed by CISU for partner visits to CISU funded projects. CISU recommends the DERF grantees to consider using the CISU checklist during monitoring visits, as a supplement or inspiration to the grant holder's own monitoring tools.

The Accountability Dialogue Tool, co-developed by CISU, is also highly recommended to the DERF grantee partners to use for monitoring and self-assessments.  

Format for reporting of irregularities

The reporting of irregularities must be submitted by mail to derf@cisu.dk with the grant reference number in the email subject heading.

It is mandatory upon the governing body of the Danish organisation to immediately notify DERF/CISU:

• If significant difficulties arise in the implementation of the intervention, including problems regarding compliance with the budget approved.
• If significant problems arise in the organisation’s relationship with the recipient country’s authorities, partner or expatriate staff.
• If there is well-founded suspicion or detection of theft, fraud, corruption, misuse or similar irregularities.
• If cases of safeguarding or PSEAH arise among any of the implementation partners.

You are very welcome to contact CISU if a project or an intervention runs into problems, enabling CISU to guide you on how to report the problems and how to pursue a solution.
