Administrative and financial responsibility

Fundación Museo de Arte Acarigua-Araure is the applicant entity and holds full responsibility for the administrative and financial implementation of the project. Financial procedures are based on documented internal controls, expenditure tracking and periodic review of all project-related costs against the proposed budget.

Cultural responsibility

This responsibility builds on the museum's existing trajectory and its established relationships in the central-western region.

Reporting and accountability

If the project receives funding or formal acceptance under an applicable opportunity, Fundación Museo de Arte Acarigua-Araure will ensure that all corresponding reporting requirements are met and that supporting financial documentation is maintained in an organized and auditable manner throughout the implementation period — including descriptive, analytical and financial reports as required by the relevant framework.
