It is not a mere declaration of intentions: it must be fulfilled Control is critical during the implementation phase: Check if the implementation of the project conforms to the planned (budgeted) Activate corrective actions during implementation, and not when the project is completed. Corrective actions are usually very simple: request for an alteration. Economic and Research Justifications Office. May 12th, 2013
