Audit engagement

Budget coherence review

A focused check that the numbers, unit costs, and narrative activities tell the same story — and that the budget form matches the funder’s categories.

Spreadsheet printouts and calculator on a wooden table

Money pages fail applications as often as weak narratives. In a budget coherence review, we compare line items to the activity plan, test whether unit costs look defensible, and check that personnel, travel, and overhead follow the call’s allowed categories.

We do not certify accounting compliance or act as your auditor of record. We do help you catch transposed figures, orphan activities without costs, and justifications that contradict the main text — so the finance annex and the story agree before submission.
