NHAC’s Finance Unit is contracted by the Executive Office of the President and Office of National Drug Control Policy (EOP/ONDCP). The Finance Unit’s main objective is to provide excellent customer service by performing desk audits for all HIDTA grantees to ensure all expenditures are allowable, allocable, and reasonable.

• Allowable: an expenditure that complies with the cost principles, regulations and guidelines set forth to govern HIDTA funds.
• Allocable: to set apart for particular purpose ( within respective budget category/ chart of accounts)
• Reasonable: agreeable reason or sound judgment; logical.

The desk audit purpose was put in place as an additional aid for ONDCP to ensure all HIDTA grantees follow the rules, and regulations set by the Office of Maintenance & Budget.
