f i. The GRANTEE hereby certifies that it is cognizant of the prohibition of conflicts of
interest described in Sections 112.311 through 112.326, Florida Statutes, and affirms that

k. In the event that the grantee expends a total amount of state financial assistance equal to
or in excess of $500,000 in any fiscal year of such GRANTEE, the grantee must have a
State single or project -specific audit for such fiscal year in accordance with Section
215.97, Florida Statutes; applicable rules of the Department of Financial Services; and
Chapters 10.550 (local governmental entities) or 10.650 (nonprofit and for -profit
