[END OF SECTION B]

SECTION C – STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1 INTRODUCTION

The purpose of the USAID/Moldova Direct Budget Support (DBS) Oversight Engagement Activity is to support the U.S. Government’s (USG) efforts to ensure that DBS funds provided to the Government of Moldova (GOM) have been used for their intended purposes and as agreed to by the GOM in the terms of Development Objective Agreement (DOAG) between USAID and the GOM, in particular its Amendments #14 and #15.

C.2 BACKGROUND

USAID provided two tranches of funding to the GOM via the World Bank Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF), $30 million and $76.80 million. In conjunction with each MDTF contribution, USAID also prepared an amendment to the DOAG with the GOM setting forth additional terms and conditions governing the contributions, including that funds specifically be used for the reimbursement of past electricity purchases by Energocom, Moldova's state energy company, from Ukrainian and/or other European suppliers. The USAID DBS is intended to help Moldova reduce its fiscal gap as it seeks to diversify its sources of electricity by importing from Europe.

To ensure that the DBS funds were used in the manner agreed to by the GOM in the DOAG amendments, USAID/Moldova arranged for Tetra Tech, the implementing partner for the USAID Moldova Energy Security Activity (MESA), to provide third-party monitoring and verification. Specifically, MESA assessed documentation regarding procurement of electricity from Ukraine between May - September 2022 and from Ukraine and Romania between September 2022-March 2023, to verify if Energocom’s purchases were true, accurate, and complete. The commercial transactions made by Energocom for the procurement of electricity from Ukraine between May and September 2022, and from Ukraine and Romania from September 2022 - March 2023 are explained below (more detail available in MESA’s full assessments).

The DOAG amendments specified that funds would only be disbursed to the GOM after USAID received documentation necessary to effect and evidence the validity of the purchases, and notified GOM that it was satisfied with the documentation. More specifically, prior to each disbursement, Tetra Tech assessed Energocom’s documentation regarding its procurement of electricity during the specified time periods to verify that Energocom’s purchases were true, accurate, and complete. MESA used the following documents to analyze the transactions, which will be available to the Contractor, as will the final assessments prepared by Tetra Tech:

● Electricity procurement contracts signed with suppliers.

● The Acts of Acceptance confirming the volumes of electricity received countersigned by the contractual parties.

● The invoices based on where the transactions were made.

● Energocom's payment orders.

● Energocom’s extract of bank accounts.

● Confirmation documents signed with third parties.

● Any documents that directly or indirectly indicate the volume or cost of electricity imports for the referenced period.

Tetra Tech assessed Energocom’s documentation regarding its procurement of electricity during the specified time periods and verified that Energocom’s purchases were true, accurate, and complete. The eventual Contractor will receive copies of Tetra Tech’s assessments and all the documentation listed above. The Moldova DBS Oversight Audit Activity will provide a reasonable assurance that Tetra Tech’s assessment was free of material misstatement and to ensure DBS funds are used in the manner agreed to by the GOM in the DOAG amendments.

C.6 MAIN PERFORMANCE AREAS

C.6.1 EXAMINATION ENGAGEMENT

At the sole direction of the USAID/Moldova Contracting Officer, the Contractor must conduct an examination engagement to provide reasonable assurance about whether the MESA Evaluation Results of Energocom’s Electricity Purchases from Ukraine from May to September 2022 and Energocom’s Electricity Imports from September 2022 to March 2023 respectively (the MESA Assessment), as considered under the 14th and 15th amendments of the DOAG, are free from material misstatements both in terms of quantity and costs.

The examination engagement must be designed and performed in accordance with governing audit and assurance standards as listed under C4.

Requirements:

The Contractor tasks to be performed under this SOW include, but are not limited to, the following, in accordance with audit and assurance best practices, regulations, statutes, and specific order requirements:

● Assess whether there are any material misstatement of MESA’s Evaluation Results of Energocom’s Electricity Purchases from Ukraine from May to September 2022 and Energocom’s Electricity Imports from September 2022 to March 2023, respectively, whether due to fraud or error.

Source documents must be used. If source documents are not available, the materiality of the lack of evidence must be evaluated and reported based on applicable audit standards.

C.6.2 COMPLIANCE AUDIT

At the sole direction of the USAID/Moldova Contracting Officer, the Contractor must conduct compliance audits of the GOM’s procedures and operations for adherence with rules, regulations, policies, and decisions related to the USAID’s budget support contribution to the GOM as stated in the governing agreements and provisions (the 14th and the 15th Amendments to the DOAG).

A compliance audit will allow for additional assurances and validation of GOM adherence to the criteria governing DBS funds required by applicable regulations, standards, provisions, and internal directives. The Contractor coordinates with the GOM, as needed, to determine the overall scope of potential testing and sampling of data prior to initiation of the compliance audit, so that there are clear expectations on the scope of the data population being tested/sampled. The Contractor is solely responsible for making all reasonable efforts to obtain access to source data and appropriate audit evidence.

In fulfilling the audit requirement to determine compliance with agreement terms and applicable laws and regulations related to USAID’s budget support contribution to the GOM, the Contractor must follow the reporting standards for reporting on compliance which incorporate the applicable professional standards.

The Contractor's compliance audit report must state the findings of all material instances of noncompliance, defined as instances that could have a direct and material effect on the adherence to compliance with agreements and provisions governing the administration of DBS funds.

Nonmaterial instances of noncompliance must be included in a separate management letter and referred to in the report on compliance. A copy of the management letter must be provided along with the audit report.

The Contractor's report must include relevant information about identified or suspected fraud based on sufficient and appropriate evidence obtained that fraudulent activity either has occurred or is likely to have occurred.

● In reporting material fraud, abuse, or other noncompliance, the Contractor must place their findings in proper perspective; and

● In presenting material irregularities, illegal acts, or other noncompliance, the Contractor must follow the reporting standards contained in the applicable professional standards.

If the Contractor concludes that sufficient evidence of any known or likely fraud or illegal acts exists, they must promptly contact the USAID/Moldova Contracting Officer and USAID OIG through the online Hotline portal https://oig.usaid.gov/report-fraud and exercise due professional care in pursuing indications of possible fraud and illegal acts to avoid interfering with potential future investigations or legal proceedings.

Requirements:

The Contractor must perform the following procedures, but not limited to:

● List all standard and amendments-specific provisions contained in the agreement (i.e., the DOAG) that cumulatively, if not observed, could have a direct and material effect on the reimbursements of DBS funds, as applicable.

● Determine the nature, timing, and extent of audit steps and procedures to test for errors, fraud, and illegal acts that provide reasonable assurance of detecting both intentional and unintentional instances of noncompliance with agreement terms and applicable laws and regulations that could have a material effect on the reimbursements of DBS funds.

● Prepare a summary audit documentation file that adequately identifies each of the specific compliance requirements included in the review, the results of the inherent control, and (detection) risk assessments for each DBS compliance requirement; the audit steps used to test for compliance with each of the requirements based on the risk assessment; and the results of the compliance testing for each requirement. The summary document should be cross-indexed to detail audit documentation that support the facts and conclusions contained in the summary document.

● Determine if funds have been expended to the electricity suppliers for purposes not authorized or not in accordance with applicable DBS agreement terms.

● Determine if the foreign exchange calculations were calculated and accounted for as required by the agreements or applicable accounting principles.
