Keep financial records
Follow your spending plan to use grant funds for their stated purposes
and in a timely manner, and keep detailed records as you do so. For
most grants, a single-entry financial journal or ledger is a sufficient
accounting method. Up to 10 percent of the global grant budget can
be used for project management expenses, including maintaining
financial records.

Pay project-related expenditures by check or another traceable method.
Keep original receipts for all expenditures above $75. If one person makes
electronic payments, keep paper records showing that the payment
was approved by both signatories. Save detailed receipts, and record
transactions in a ledger. For each transaction, the ledger should note
the date, the amount, and the reason for the transaction. Transactions
may include income, such as interest earned and recoveries.
Cash transactions are strongly discouraged, but if they can’t be
avoided, maintain a receipt book confirming cash payments, with
all receipts made out to the club and signed by the vendor or service
provider. All cash transactions must be approved by both sponsors.
You can use signed vouchers to document them.

Retain documents
Maintain detailed records to comply with the club MOU, local laws,
and standard business practices. Make copies of all documents so that
project activities can continue uninterrupted if there is a fire or other
catastrophe. If local laws require you to submit original information to
the Foundation, it is still necessary to keep copies of these documents.
Hard copies of all documents must be stored in a secure location that
Rotarians have access to.
