From the NRP Audit Policy page 3:
http://www.nrp.org/r2/Resources/Training/NRP-PreparingAudit.pdf
"Only funds directly received and accounted for by a neighborhood are
considered when determining if that neighborhood should receive and
audit. A neighborhood receives NRP funds when it accepts an advance or
reimbursement from any entity that distributes NRP funds.
"The total dollars in an NRP plan are not the same as the funds received
by a neighborhood organization. The majority of funds in NRP plans are
never actually managed or accounted for by neighborhood organizations.
"Examples
* A neighborhood organization receives NRP funds when it accepts an
advance from the City under a contract between the NRP, MCDA, and the
neighborhood for the implementation of the neighborhood's NRP plan.
* A neighborhood does not receive NRP funds when their plan dollars
are received, accounted for and expended by the Park Board under a
contract between MCDA and the Park Board. At no point in this process
does the neighborhood actually process or receive payments. All
transactions occur between the MCDA, Park Board, and contractors hired
by the Park Board."

Wendy Was any of this money from NRP funds if so they require an audit be done
yearly.
In Hawthorne this is made available to all board and Committee Chairs, as well
as anyone else that requests it.
You should also be able to get this from Nrp.
