Programme Cooperation Agreement 2010 – 2011

10.1.2 Expenditures 2010-11 Table 2 below reveals that project-related expenditures in 2010-11 totalled MNOK 95.3, inclusive of project activities not covered by the Programme Cooperation Agreement 2010-2011 between MoFA and GRID-Arendal. Figure 5 graphically displays expenditure categories. The most sig- nificant is personnel costs, which represent 69% of the to- tal (or MNOK 65.6) and are generated from time bookings of employees and long-term consultants against projects, inclusive of a mark-up to cover overheads.

Expenditures related to subcontracted services, travel and associated project expenses (‘Other’) are based on actual costs plus the 13% mark up to cover overheads. It should be noted that, while these costs are charged at standard rates, actual expenditures might differ slightly (e.g. over- heads may not consistently equal 13%) generating a sur- plus in the financial accounts. An audit of the 2011 project expenses has been carried out by KPMG and is presented in Annex 3.
