Due diligence refers to the responsibility of a contract user to independently verify that the awarded cooperative procurement contract conforms to their applicable rules and regulations and that the award vendors quotation and members purchase order complies with the terms of the contract.

What Information Is Available Through Mohave?

How Do I Use Mohave Documentation to Perform Due Diligence Reviews?

The Due Diligence Tutorial provides details on utilizing the contract documentation provided on our website and various methods to accomplish due diligence reviews. How Does Mohave Comply with the Rules and Regulations of the State? The following attachments were prepared to assist members with due diligence reviews of our contracts:

Cooperative Procurement Compliance Questionnaire

The office of the Auditor General has prescribed guidelines for performing due diligence reviews for school districts, under the Uniform System of Financial Records Compliance Questionnaire. Districts must use their own judgment in determining the appropriate amount of complexity of due diligence required for the cooperative contract. Mohave has reviewed the questionnaire and provided a response for each item as it applies to Mohave contracts. We believe the response will assist members in determining that Mohave contracts are valid options for their procurement requirements.

USFR Compliance Questionnaire
