Assurances
Grantee must still comply with all state and federal audit requirements. Authorization of invoice by Department of Education Federal Grant Manager does not indicate that these requirements have been met. The Vendor Reimbursement Request is based upon an expenditure list and the supporting documentation for all the allowable costs. A copy of this form and the supporting documentation is on file at the grantee site or school.
