1.5. Project File

1.5.1. These Guidelines mention a Project File. This permanent division file should be maintained by the responsible Regional Division. While Regional Division Managers are responsible for ensuring its continued relevance and security, they will normally delegate these duties to the responsible financial analyst.

1.5.2. A Project File must contain all relevant financial information gathered during fact-finding, appraisal, and project supervision (either originals or copies). This information should include details of original and amended financial policy decisions affecting the project and the EA; the assumptions and basic calculations underlying financial analysis, for financial performance indicators, and for the design of financial covenants. The file must also include copies of all computer files that may be used to develop project-specific programs and analyses.
