# Reality checklist

Documents may mislead, and can never substitute for the evidence of your eyes. The programme manager should also make reality checks. The following is a generic list.

- Visit permanent staff in their workplaces without warning.
- Confirm all bank accounts are legitimate.
- Spot check the cash without warning.
- Spot check other transactions.
- Watch temporary staff being paid.
- Visit warehouses/stores/fuel dumps without warning and spot check.
- See and check condition of major assets, e.g. vehicles, computers.
- Visit partners and beneficiaries - make your own choice.
- Visit operational sites - make your own choice.
