Any payment to an ineligible party, any payment for an ineligible good or <br />service, any duplicate payment, any payment for a good or service not received (except for such <br />payments where authorized by law), any payment that does not account for credit for applicable <br />discounts, and any payment where insufficient or lack of documentation prevents a reviewer from <br />discerning whether a payment was proper. <br />g.

As a condition of receiving state financial assistance, and as required by Sections <br />20.055(6)(c) and 215.97(5)(b), Florida Statutes, the Division, the Chief Inspector General of the State of <br />Florida, the Florida Auditor General, or any of their authorized representatives, shall enjoy the right of <br />access to any documents, financial statements, papers, or other records of the Recipient which are <br />pertinent to this Agreement, in order to make audits, examinations, excerpts, and transcripts.
