How do we structure the budget to avoid ineligible or poorly justified costs?

Where is the problem?

When a budget starts with available quotations rather than the project's logic, it can easily include costs with no clear need or an incorrect category.

How do we approach it?

1. We divide the project into activities and expected results.
2. We link every cost to a specific activity.
3. We check restrictions, thresholds and required justifications.
4. We keep a clear record of how each value was determined.

What should you check beforehand?

• Are quotations or market data available?
• Which costs are critical to the result?
• Are particular categories subject to restrictions?
