(a) take such steps as the CDSE guidelines may prescribe to ascertain, from the recipients of any money applied by the club to community development and support projects, the manner in which the money was applied, and
(b) verify, by statutory declaration of some appropriate person or in such other manner as the CDSE guidelines may prescribe, all information supporting its claim and the measures taken by it in compliance with paragraph (a).
