Non-Audited Financial Acquittals

A non-audited financial acquittal report is the income and expenditure statement for the grant. It confirms your Organisation spent funding on the activity per the Grant Agreement, Schedule and Terms and Conditions.

There is no specific format for a non-audited financial acquittal; however, it must:

  • adhere to the applicable Australian Accounting Standards and be based on proper accounts and records
  • verify that the funding has been spent on the activity per the Agreement, Schedule and Terms and Conditions
  • pertain to Departmental funding only (an income and expense statement for your whole Organisation is not acceptable)
  • differentiate income and expenditure relating to each grant you are funded for
  • include any other expenditure detail required under the Grant Agreement and the Grant Opportunity Guidelines
  • be certified by the Board, chief executive officer or an authorised officer of the Organisation

Please ensure you only acquit the departmental funds that have been paid and/or rolled over from the previous financial year. Please do not include other sources of income or expenditure unless specified in your grant agreement.

You can submit your non-audited financial acquittal in any format (e.g. excel, word, PDF). Please see an example of a non-audited financial acquittal that meets our requirements.
