Audit engagement

Budget-table reconciliation

Focused financial audit of application budget tables, cost categories, and matching contribution lines without a full narrative review.

Budget charts and tables prepared for reconciliation during an application audit

Who this engagement serves

Teams whose narrative is stable but whose budget tables keep shifting across internal drafts.

What you receive

  • Line review of the primary budget workbook or form
  • Checks for category misplacement and double counting
  • Notes on matching funds and in-kind valuations you declare
  • Short written summary (up to four pages)

Outside this scope

  • Full narrative claim testing
  • Eligibility schedule redesign
  • Formal audit opinion

  2. 2

    Reconciliation pass

    Totals, subtotals, and matching lines are tested for internal consistency.

  3. 3

    Annotated return

    You receive notes in-file or as a short memo, depending on format.

Preparation on your side

Share the current budget file, programme cost category definitions, and any prior reviewer comments on the tables.
