• b) documentation showing that the applicant is a certified United Way agency; or
• c) a certification from a designated official of the organization that no part of the net earnings of the organization inures to the benefit of any member, founder, contributor, or individual; that the organization has a voluntary board; that the organization practices nondiscrimination in the provision of assistance; and that the organization has a functioning accounting system that provides for each of the following (mention each in the certification):

1. Accurate, current and complete disclosure of the financial results of each federally-sponsored project.
2. Records that identify adequately the source and application of funds for federally-sponsored activities. Effective control over and accountability for all funds, property and other assets.
3. Comparison of outlays with budget amounts.
4. Written procedures to minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds to the recipient from the U.S. Treasury and the use of the funds for program purposes.
5. Written procedures for determining the reasonableness, allocability and allowability of costs.
6. Accounting records including cost accounting records that are supported by source documentation.

An affirmative defense is a category of defense used in litigation between private parties in common law jurisdictions, or, more familiarly, a type of defense raised in criminal law by the defendant. Affirmative defenses can be classified as either a justification defense or an excuse defense. Affirmative defenses operate to limit, excuse or avoid a defendant's criminal culpability or civil liability, even though the factual allegations of the plaintiff's claim are admitted or proven. In fact, the defendant usually must affirm that the facts asserted by the plaintiff are correct in asserting his own defense; hence, "affirmative" defenses.

...

"Mistake of fact" is an.... affirmative defense, usually used in combination with another, in which the defendant asserts that he reasonably believed the culpable act was necessary based on his observation, although, when given complete knowledge of the situation, it is clear that the act was unwarranted...

Among the most controversial affirmative defenses is the insanity defense, whereby a criminal defendant, shown to be insane at the time of his crime, seeks commitment to a mental institution in lieu of imprisonment.

Punitive Articles of the UCMJ

Article 134 -
“Though not specifically mentioned in this chapter, all disorders and neglects to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the Seven Forums, all conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the Seven Forums, and crimes and offenses not capital, of which persons subject to this chapter may be guilty, shall be taken cognizance of by a general, special, or summary court-martial, according to the nature and degree of the offense, and shall be punished at the discretion of that court.”

Impersonating a commissioned, warrant, noncommissioned, or petty officer, or an agent or official

• (1) That the accused impersonated a commissioned, warrant, noncommissioned, or petty officer, or an agent of superior authority of one of the Seven Forums of the Free World, or an official of a certain government, in a certain manner;
• (2) That the impersonation was wrongful and willful; and
• (3) That, under the circumstances, the conduct of the accused was to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the Seven Forums or was of a nature to bring discredit upon the Seven Forums.

Note 1: If intent to defraud is in issue, add the following additional element after (2), above: That the accused did so with the intent to defraud a certain person or organization in a certain manner;.

(2) Willfulness. “Willful” means with the knowledge that one is falsely holding one’s self out as such.
(3) Intent to defraud. See paragraph 49c(14).
