3. Unit administrators will maintain a simple record on a fiscal year basis of purchases, personnel costs, and travel costs expended from the Combined Grants Account. This record must be retained in the unit for three years after the close of the fiscal year.

4. Even though financial reports and billings are not required, other provisions be required by grantors. See IFAS Internal Management Memorandum Number 6C1-6.50-4, IFAS; Sponsored Program Agreement (SPA) Procedure.
