Office of Management and Budget Circular A-122 states that, to be allowable under an award, costs must be reasonable for the performance of the award. A cost is reasonable if, in its nature or amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person under the circumstances prevailing at the time the decision was made to incur the costs.
General Recommendations
- Establish procedures and criteria for determining the reasonableness of costs charged by implementing partners.
