Pre-Disbursement Expenditure Check
A focused review of proposed payments against eligible-cost rules before funds leave the grant account.
- Typical duration
- 3–10 business days
- Delivery
- Remote document review; optional Central walkthrough
- Fee basis
- Per batch of payment vouchers
Purpose
Use this check when a large contractor invoice, capital purchase, or multi-month consultancy is about to be charged to a grant and your internal policy requires a second pair of eyes.
Scope
We test the proposed payment pack — purchase order, quotation, contract excerpt, and budget line — against the funding agreement’s eligible-cost schedule. You receive a short clearance note or a list of questions to resolve before release.
Exclusions
Ongoing monthly payroll and routine office overheads are better handled under a full compliance review or an eligible-cost advisory session.
