Internal Control Framework 29 July 2020 Internal Control Framework (ICF)	The Operational Guide to the ICF has been updated to incorporate some streamlining improvements, as well as address recent issues identified by audits:1.

The Operational Guide to the ICF has been updated to incorporate some streamlining improvements, as well as address recent issues identified by audits: 1. The removal of the provision which enabled low value Requisitions and related Purchase Orders to be approved by the same individual, as communicated by the CFO to all Offices on 16th September 2019. 2. Aligning the consistency of language on vendor creation and approval, and updating it to reflect additional control processes needed when changing vendor bank account information. 3. Further streamlining the ICF, e.g. by removing a redundant control (that bank signatories cannot approve vendors, in COs where there are 2 bank signatories), and authorizing GS7 staff in COs and GS6 staff in the GSSU to perform approval functions for POs, prepayments and no-PO vouchers up to $10,000. 4. Incorporating the recently issued reforms effected through the various rounds of BMS business process streamlining. These changes include: a. authorising three vendor approvers for large offices with delivery above $50m per year; b. clarifying functions that must be performed by staff, and functions where other contractual modalities may now be utilized per the streamlining exercises. 5. Consolidating the list of control functions to be performed by staff within a single section of the ICF. 6. Updates to include new business process services provided by the GSSU. EXPAND
Enterprise Risk Management 8 July 2020 Risk Management	The Micro-Purchase Canvass form linked under clause 22 of the Procurement Methods policy has been updated to ensure that the vendor sanctions lists are verified for micro-purchasing processes.
Gifts Policy 23 April 2020 Ethics	The Gifts Policy assists UNDP personnel in regulating their conduct when offered gifts or other items, irrespective of value and source in the course of their functions. The policy delineates and formalizes personnel reporting obligations, and distinguishes between obligations related to the receipt of gifts from governmental and non-governmental entities, including whether the gifts are valued below or above USD 30. The policy also provides the Organization with procedures to follow with regards to the recording and disposition of gifts.
