# control of expenses — Project Manager

As a Project Manager, 'Control of Expenses' isn’t just about *avoiding* overspending; it's proactively managing the project budget throughout its lifecycle. Daily tasks include tracking actual costs against planned costs (using tools like Excel, MS Project, or dedicated cost management software – Earned Value Management is key here), forecasting future spend based on performance, and identifying variances early. You’ll be constantly reviewing invoices, timesheets, purchase orders, and change requests to ensure everything aligns with the budget baseline. It's about understanding *why* costs are deviating, not just *that* they are.
