Creating a grant evidence checklist
Evidence needs should come from the actual agreement and reporting method.
Grant control topic
Make reporting evidence relevant, accessible and reviewable.
The useful question is whether an authorised reviewer can find evidence for a specific reporting claim. An evidence index connects requirements to records, owners and gaps without copying sensitive source material into every working document.

A reviewer needs context and unresolved gaps alongside documents.
A useful approval record identifies the version and the decision.
Preparation should make actual records understandable rather than reconstruct an ideal history.
