   (2)  The Department will have access, for the purpose of audit and examination, to books, documents, papers and records of the sponsor that are pertinent to an aviation development grant received under this chapter. This includes progress audits during the project.

   (3)  A sponsor is required to establish and maintain an adequate accounting record for an individual project, which will allow the Department to determine the allowability of costs incurred for the project.
