• Project progress and/or completion reports.

• Soft copies of original receipts, invoices, and/or payment records.

• For projects with an approved grant quantum of more than S$30,000 – A report of factual findings on their claims, prepared by an external auditor. The cost of engaging the auditor should be included in the project budget submitted with the application.
