For example, complaints alleging economic impact as a result of corrupt procurement procedures may need to be referred immediately to the organization’s own internal audit department, and/or to an external anti-corruption office. Eligibility is often determined on the basis of four broad criteria:

1. Does the complaint indicate that the program has caused a negative economic, social, or environmental impact on the complainant, or has the potential to cause such an impact?
2. Does the complaint specify what kind of impact has occurred or may occur, and how the program has caused or may cause that impact?
3. Does the complaint indicate that those filing the complaint are the ones who have been impacted, or are at risk of being impacted; or that those filing the complaint are representing the impacted or potentially impacted beneficiaries at their request?
4. Does the complaint provide enough information for PSEA Committee to make a determination on the first three questions?
