Template questions

Clear answers before you download.

The file is editable, direct and deliberately limited to an operating starting point.

Is the workbook client-ready without changes?

It is a starting structure. Adapt the branding, reporting period and approved project fields, then review every statement and recipient.

Can the report include internal costs?

Only if the recipient is authorised and the project process requires it. The default structure keeps internal commercial detail out.

Does it replace contractual notices?

No. Use the notice and approval process required by the contract and your authorised project controls.
