DEVENT planning resources
Reviewing Final Event Expenses
Reconcile agreed costs, recorded payments and remaining balances before treating the event budget as finished.
Check against supplier records
Compare each budget entry with the final invoice and confirmed payments. Follow up discrepancies or credits with the supplier. A recorded total is only as reliable as the figures entered by the event team.
Prepare a useful handover
Use Reports for available budget CSV and the printable event pack. Check the export and retain a dated copy for your own records. Report access after the event follows the current event and plan rules.
