Situation Awareness: Ebola Response and Recovery. Financial Controls

FYI…..

·       Could the Sixth Region (Diaspora) of the AU provide assistance in assuring financial controls are implement in the response and recovery from the Ebola crisis to ensure communities receive at a minimum 70% of funds for assistance, with 30% administrative and other costs?

·       Controls should be implemented to receive and disburse funds at every level (top level to community), and detect discrepancies in expenditures within standard procedures (weekly or monthly)

Following U.S. Department of Homeland Security Inspector General report should offer insight in disaster response and recovery controls for disasters, emergencies, and crisis events for financial control and performance.
