Objective of the workpaper

For each income grant (one instance per grant), describe the agreement, enter the amount and the table of costs compensated by period, choose the period to compute, then assess the reasonable assurance and the costs targeted. The allocation basis (here, the proportion of the costs of the period) is a datum of the file, not a rule of the standard. Then prepare the entry: income or deduction from the related expense.
