Does PM need to send reminders to FPG and RFMO for next step
actions in closure?
No, FPG and RFMO receive notifications automatically
It is recommended that UNOPS should try every option to reach the donor in
order to refund the surplus and all these efforts should be documented in
chronological order for audit purposes. So please keep track of all types of
communication with the client.
A clause has been included in the FFS cover letter that any surplus/deficit below
USD 2,500 will be absorbed by UNOPS if client does not come back within 3
months
