Special Appointments
Notary Public
A Notary Public is an official of integrity appointed by the North Dakota Secretary of State to serve the public as an impartial witness in performing a variety of official fraud-deterrent acts related to the signing of important documents. A Notary’s duty is to screen the signers of important documents — such as property deeds, wills and powers of attorney — for their true identity, their willingness to sign without duress or intimidation, and their awareness of the contents of the document or transaction.
Fiscal Agent
A fiscal agent works with a nonprofit organization or government agency and agrees to accept and oversee grant funds on behalf of that agency. Without a fiscal agent, the lead applicant for a grant would receive the funds directly, which can lead to the Internal Revenue Service attributing those grant funds to the applicant’s personal income. The fiscal agent serves to administer and protect the grant funds to further the agency’s mission. The primary duty of a fiscal agent is to promote the mission of the agency by protecting its accounts and controlling the outlays of its funds. Some tasks include the coordination of hiring practices, disbursement of travel expenses for agency personnel and reconciliation of regular budget reports. The agent must also prepare any documents requested by the agency responsible for granting the funds to ensure they are used in accordance with the grant’s requirements.
