Risks of non-compliance

• DFID funds could be used for purposes other than originally intended and lead to fraud or non-compliance with the International Development Act, 2002
• Confusion as to the responsibilities of DFID and the recipient
• Waste of resources negotiating Memoranda of Understandings (MoUs) when there are accepted templates available.
