Retain relevant reports and identify the current version, assumptions and reasons for amendment. A comparison can explain the change more accurately than a disconnected headline number.
Preserve the analysis trail
Do not present an outdated projection as current or a projected job as already created.
Request the location and classification analysis with its underlying data, the project's own filings and correspondence with the government, the offering memorandum, budgets and any economic report. Prepare a dated trail that links the relevant source records, receipts, accounts, conversions and investment transfer. Preserve authentic notices, ballots, correspondence, reports, and electronic meeting records; never create minutes for an event the investor missed. Assemble records that explain lawful acquisition, account movement, transfers, gifts where relevant, loans, taxes, and the actual deployment of funds. Identify the relevant original transactions and supporting records rather than relying only on a prepared narrative. A first review should identify the transfer confirmations, subscription documents, capital-account statements, business records, and job reports that demonstrate the required facts. Where the structure relies on an economic methodology, compare the report's inputs with executed budgets and contracts, then retain later records that show whether those inputs occurred.
